1. 

Introduction

• 

The meter measures AC/DC Voltage and Current, Resistance, 
Diode Test, Continuity, Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle and 
Temperature.

• The meter also tests 1.5V and 9V batteries and offers a Non-

Contact AC Voltage detector. 

• In addition, the meter detect Live/Neutral wire through a single test 

lead by contact.

• Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of 

reliable service.

  Safety

2.1.       WARNINGS

•

  Read, understand and follow Safety Rules and Operating 

Instructions in this manual before using this meter.

•  The meter’s safety features may not protect the user if not used in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

•  Keep fingers away from the metal probe tips when taking 

measurements.

•  Before changing functions using the selector switch, always 

disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

•  Comply with all applicable safety codes, Use approved personal 

protective equipment when working near live electrical circuits - 
particularly with regard to arc-flash potential.

•  Use caution on live circuits, Voltages above 30V AC RMS, 42V AC 

peak or 60V DC pose a shock hazard.

•  Do not use if the meter or test leads appear damaged.

•  Verify operation before using meter by measuring a known live 

voltage.

•  Do not use the meter in wet or damp environments or during 

electrical storms.

•  Do not use the meter near explosive vapors, dust or gasses.

•  Do not use the meter if it operates incorrectly, protection may be 

compromised.

•  Do not operate meter while Low Battery warning is on, replace 

batteries immediately.

•  Do not apply voltage or current that exceeds the meter’s 

maximum rated input limits.
