        a.Set the rotary switch at 400V 

        b.Insert the test leads into the input jack. 

        c.Connect the test prods of the test leads in PARALLEL to the circuit    

           to be measured. 

        d.Read the measured value from the LCD display. 

 

 

 

 

 

D. Resistance and Continuity Measurement 

            1. Set the rotary switch at 

Ω

 

            2. Insert the test leads into the input jack. 

            3. Connect the test prods of the test leads to the two ends of the 

resistor or circuit to be measured. 

            4. Read the measured value from the LCD display. 

            5.  If  the  resistance  is  lower  than  40

Ω

,  a  beeping  sound  shall  be 

heard. 

 

E.Relative Reading Measurements 

    The zero button also can be used to make a relative measurement. Once 

the  button  is  pushed,  the  current  reading  is  set  to  zero  and  a  zero 

symbol  shall  be  displayed  on  LCD.  All  the  subsequent  measurement 

shall  be  displayed  as  a  relative  value  with  respect  to  the  value  being 

zeroed. press the zero button for 2 seconds to return to normal mode. 

 

F.Holding the LCD Reading 

    Press the HOLD button, then the reading shall be hold and kept on LCD. 

 

G.Finding the MAX/MIN Value 

    Press the MAX/MIN button to enable the maximum and minimum values 

to be recorded and updated during measurement. Push the button once, 

the  maximum  value  shall  be  displayed  and  updated.  Push  again 

(second push ), the minimum value shall be displayed. Push again(third 

push),  MAX/MIN  function  shall  be  disabled  and  return  to  the  normal 

measurement mode. 

 

WARNING: 

Before  taking  any  in-circuit  resistance  measurement, 

remove  power  from  the  circuit  being  tested  and  discharge  all  the 

capacitors.
