True RMS Digital Multimeter/ English
13/12/2017 Version No. 001
1. Introduction
The Southwire True RMS Multimeter features True RMS measurements for more accurate
AC readings and a Low Z setting for eliminating errors caused by “ghost” voltages.
Functions include AC/DC voltage and current, resistance, continuity, capacitance,
frequency, duty cycle, temperature, and diode test. The True RMS Multimeter also offers
the added convenience of a built-in LED flashlight. This meter is fully tested and calibrated
and, with proper use, will provide many years of reliable service.

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 u sed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure that the test leads are fully seated in the input jacks and 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.
• Use only UL listed test leads with the proper safety category rating.
• 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 or 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.
