6.MEASUREMENT

Before proceeding with measurement ,read the
safety notes.
(1)Voltage measurement

l

Insert the BLACK test lead to COM and the RED
one to the other terminal.

l

Switch to AC V range for AC voltage or DC V range
for DC Voltage.

l

Use the test lead tip to the circuit and read the
reading of display directly.

l

If the reading exceed 600V, maybe the reading
value is wrong and it is dangerous. (refer to the
safety notes)

(2)Current measurement

l

Switch to AC A range for AC current or DC A for DC
current. 

l

If the initial reading of DC A is not zero, use the 
DC A zero adjust  shaft to adjust.

l

Make sure that the test lead is not connect to the
Terminal. 

l

Press the jaw trigger to open the transformer jaws
and clamp onto one conductor only. 

l

Read the display reading directly.

(3)Ohm & Diode Measurement

For ohm test

l

Switch to OHM range and make sure there is no
power in the circuit being measured. 

l

Insert the BLACK lead to the COM and the RED
one to another. 

l

Connect the test leads to the circuit under test and
read the display directly.

For diode test

l

Connect the test leads to the diode under test.

l

Read the forward voltage of diode directly from
display. If connect reversely, the display shows
O.L.
