5-4. DC Voltage Measurement
DANGER
●
Never make measurement on a circuit in which
voltage over DC600V exists to avoid getting
electrical shock.
●
Do not make measurement with the Battery
Cover removed.
●
Keep your fingers behind the barrier on the
instrument during measurement.
(1) Set the Function Switch to "
DCV
" position.
(2) Connect the red test lead to V/
Ω
terminal and the
black test lead to COM terminal.
(3) Connect the red and black test leads to the
positive (+)and negative (-) sides of the circuit
under test respectively. Take the reading on the
display. If the connection is reversed, the display
indicates the "-" mark.
5-5. Resistance/ Cont/ Diode Measurement
DANGER
●
Never use the instrument on an energized circuit.
●
Do not make measurement with the Battery
Cover removed.
Resistance
(1) Set the Function Switch to "
Ω/ Cont/ Diode
"
position.
(2) Connect the red test lead to V/
Ω
terminal and the
black test lead to COM terminal. Confirm "OL" is
indicated on the display, and then short-circuit the
tips of test leads to make the indication zero.
(3) Connect the test leads to the both ends of the
resistor under test.
(4) Take the reading on the display.
CAUTION
●
Even if short the test lead tips, indicated value
may not be zero. But this is because of the
resistance of test leads and not a failure.
●
When test leads are open, "OL" is indicated on
the display.

6. Other functions
6-1. Sleep Function
(1) This is a function to prevent the instrument from
being left powered on in order to conserve battery
life.
This function causes the instrument to enter
Sleep mode about 15 minutes after the last
key operation. To exit the Sleep mode, turn the
Function switch to "
OFF
", then to any other position,
or press any Key.
(2) Sleep Function is disabled when; MIN/MAX
Function is selected. Continuous measurement is
made with the Sleep Function being disabled. To
activate Sleep Function again, disable the MIN/
MAX Function.
CAUTION
●
The instrument consumes small amount of
battery power in the Sleep mode. Set the
Function Switch to the OFF position after use.
6-2. HOLD Key
(1) Data Hold Function
This is a function to freeze the measured value
on the display. Press the "HOLD" key to freeze the
reading.
The reading will be held regardless of subsequent
variation in input. "
H
" is indicated on the upper left
corner of the display while the instrument is in the
Data Hold mode. To exit Data Hold mode, press the
"HOLD" key again.
CAUTION
●
Held readings are released when Sleep
Function is activated while the instrument is in
the Data Hold mode.
(2) Backlight ON/OFF (KEW2055 only)
Pressing the HOLD key 2 sec or more lights up the
Backlight. Pressing the HOLD key 2 sec or more
again turns off the Backlight.
6-3. NCV Function
Red LED on the upper area on the Panel lights up
at all functions except for OFF when electric field
exceeding 100V is detected by the sensor installed in
the Jaws.
It indicates a presence of
voltage in an electrical circuit
or equipment without touching
them.
N C V S e n s o r c a n d e t e c t
electrical field only from the
direction indicated in the right
figure.
Put the fixed element (left
side) closer to the conductor
under test.
Detection against in-wall
outlet is impossible.
DANGER
●
The LED may not light up due to installation
condition of electrical circuit or equipment.
Never touch the circuit under test to avoid
possible danger even if the LED for NCV
doesn t light up.
●
Check the functionality of LED on a well-known
power supply prior to measurement. When the
LED doesn t light up, do not make measurement.
●
NCV indication is affected by external voltage,
how to hold or place the instrument.
6-4. MIN/MAX Function
CAUTION
●
SELECT, ZERO, Hz/DUTY keys are disabled
whileMIN/MAX Function is being activated.

Never make measurement on a circuit in which
voltage over AC600V exists to avoid getting
electrical shock.
●
Do not make measurement with the Battery
Cover removed.
●
Keep your fingers behind the barrier on the
instrument during measurement.
