To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter, do not get water
inside the case. Remove the test leads and any input signals before
opening the case.
Fuse replacement
To replace the Meter’s fuse (see the Fgure:
- Set the rotary switch to
OFF
range.
- Disconnect test leads from any inputs terminals.
- Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws secured on the cover.
- Separate the battery cover from the bottom case.
- Replace the fuse only with specified ratings:
F 250mA/600V, F 10A/600V ø 6.3x30 (quick acting)
- Replace the cover and secure by the screws.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect test leads from any circuit
under test. To prevent damage or injury, replace the fuse only with
specified ratings.
Battery replacement
To replace the battery (see the Figure):
- When the battery voltage drop below proper operation range the
“
“ symbol will appear on the LCD display and the battery need to
be replaced.
- Turn the meter off and remove all test leads.
- Use a screwdriver to unscrew the two screws secured on the battery
cover and remove the battery cover.
- Replace the battery with one new 9V battery (6F22).
- Reinstall the battery cover and secure by the two screws.
Before replacing the battery, disconnect test leads from any circuit
under test, turn the meter off and remove test leads from the input
terminals.

CAUTION
Using this appliance in an environment with a strong radiated
radio-frequency electromagnetic field (approx. 3V/m), may
influence its measuring accuracy. The measuring result can be
strongly deviating from the actual value.
Skandia shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damage
and/or loss resulting from incorrect and/or inaccurate use.
• KEEP THIS MANUAL
will be indicated when making a DCA measurement
- When only the figure “1” displayed, it indicates overrange
situation and the higher range has to be selected.
To avoid damage to the meter, use the proper terminals,
function, and range for your meassurement.
NOTE:
- When only the figure“OL” is displayed, it indicates overrange
situation and the higher range has to be selected.
- When the value scale to be measured is unknown beforehand, set
the range selector at the highest position
- “ ” means the socket of INPUT maximum current is 250mA,
over current will destroy the fuse. 10A’s maximum current is 10A,
over current will destroy the fuse.
Resistance measurement
- Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead
to the
Ω
jack.
- Set the transform switch at the
Ω
range position.
- Connect test leads across the resistance under measurement.
- You can get reading from LCD.
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before measuring resistance.
NOTE:
- For measuring resistance above 1M
Ω
, the meter may take a few
seconds to stabilize reading. This is normal for high resistance
measuring. If the resistance being measured exceeds the
maximum value of the range selected or the input is not
connected, an overrange indication “1” will be displayed.
Diode Test
- Set the rotary switch to “
” range.
- Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
Ω
terminals
respectively.
- Connect the red test lead to the anode, black test lead to the
cathode of the diode under testing.
- The meter will show the approx, forward voltage of the diode. If
the lead connection is reversed, only figure “1” displayed.
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing diodes.
Continuity test
- Set the rotary switch to“ ” range.
- Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
Ω
terminals
respectively.
- Connect the test leads to the resistance in the circuit being
measured.
- When the test lead to the circuit is below 50
Ω
a continuous
beeping will indicate it.
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, discon-
nect circuit power and dischange all high-voltage capacitors before
testing for Continuity.
Battery test
- Set the rotary switch to desired BATT range.
- Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and V
Ω
terminals respectivery.
- Connect the test leads across the battery terminals under mea
surement.
- Read LCD display and determine if the battery is OK.
Maintenance
General Maintenance
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do
not use abrasives or solvents.
Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings.
To clean the terminals:
- Turn the meter off and remove all test leads.
- Shake out any dirt that may be in the terminals.
- Soak a new swab with a cleaning and oiling agent
(such ad WD-40)
- Work the swab around in each terminal. The oiling agent insulates
the terminals from moisture-related contamination.
