To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to

the instrument, do not apply more than

250Vdc or 250Vac rms between the

terminal and the COM terminal.

To avoid electrical shock, do not use this

instrument

when

voltages

at

the

measurement surface exceed 60v dc or

24v rms. Ac.

To avoid damage or burns. Do not make

temperature measurements in microwave

ovens.

To measure temperature:

1. Set the rotary switch to

range and the LCD will show the current environment temperature.

2. Connect the “com” plug and “+” plug of the special multi-function socket to the COM and hFE

terminals.

3. Insert ‘K’ type thermocouples into the special multi-function socket

Takings care to observe the correct

polarity.

4. Touch the object with the thermocouple probe for measurement.

5. Read the stable reading from LCD.

3.2.9 Current measurement

To avoid damage to the Meter or injury if

the fuse blows, never attempt an in-circuit

current

measurement

where

the

open-circuit potential to earth is greater

than 250V.

To avoid damage to the meter, check the

meter's fuse before proceeding. Use the

proper terminals, function, and range for

your measurement. Never place the test

leads in parallel with a circuit or component

when the leads are plugged into the current

terminals.

Current is the flow of electrons through a conductor.

The Meter's DC current ranges are 20.00mA, 200.0mA and 10.00A

AC current ranges are 2.000mA,

200.0mA and 10.00A.

To measure current:

1. Turn off the power of the measured circuit. Discharge all the high voltage capacitors.

2. Set the rotary switch to the proper range.

3. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test leads to the mA terminal for a

maximum of 200mA. For a maximum of 10A, move the red test lead to the 10A terminal.

4. Break the circuit path to be tested.
