BATTERY INSTALLATION

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads

from any source of voltage before removing the battery door.

1. Disconnect the test leads from the meter.

2. Open the battery door by loosening the screw using a Phillips

head screwdriver.

3. Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the correct

polarity.

4. Put the battery door back in place. Secure with the two screws.

WARNING:

To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter

until the battery door is in place and fastened securely.

NOTE

: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and

battery to make sure that they are still good and that they are

properly inserted.

REPLACING THE FUSES

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads

from any source of voltage before removing the rear cover (fuse

door).

1. Disconnect the test leads from the meter and any item under

test.

2. Open the fuse door by loosening the screws on the rear cover

using a Phillips head screwdriver.

3. Remove the old fuse from its holder by gently pulling it out.

3. Install the new fuse into the holder.

4. Always use a fuse of the proper size and value (0.5A/250V -φ5

x 20, fast blow for the 400mA range, 20A/250V –φ6.3 x 32 fast

blow for the 20A range).

5. Put the fuse door back in place. Insert the screw and tighten it

securely.

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until

the fuse door is in place and fastened securely.

Trouble Shooting

1. Meter will not turn ON.



Check the battery contacts for a tight fit.



Check for a minimum battery voltage of 8.0 volts.

2. Ampere reading is erratic or there is no reading at all.



Disassemble the meter back cover as per the fuse

replacement instructions on page 36 and test the fuses for

continuity with another meter.

3. Meter reading is erratic.



Printed circuit board damaged from handling with hands.



Low battery.



“Blown” fuse.



Open circuit in a test lead (frayed or broken wire).

4. Meter readings do not change.



“Hold” feature is still toggled ON.
