INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ (General’s) TS04
ToolSmart

Digital Multimeter (DMM). Please read this user’s manual carefully

and thoroughly before using the instrument. 

The DMM can be used as a standalone multimeter, or with General’s free
ToolSmart

app running on your mobile phone. When used in concert with an

iPhone

®

or Android

smartphone, the DMM can stream—via Bluetooth

®

— to

the phone all measurements it makes. The phone initiates the data transfer
using the ToolSmart

app, which can be downloaded from the iTunes

®

App

Store or Google Play Store. The measurements can then be used to tag photos
taken by the phone’s camera. For example, the app can apply current readings
to icons of different AC outlets in a rendering of a room as a way to compare
their efficiency.

KEY FEATURES

• 10 functions, 26 ranges

• Measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance and surface

temperature

• Also checks continuity, diode integrity and battery voltage

• Non-contact voltage (NCV) detector

• ETL certified safe for CAT III 600V use

• True RMS measurements

• 2 in. (51mm) diagonal,  3-3/4 digit (4000 count) LCD with 3/4 in. (19mm)

high digits

• Powered by “9V” battery (included)

• Low battery indication

WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE

The meter is supplied in a display box along with a pair of double-insulated test
lleads, a bead thermocouple probe and plug adapter, and a “9V” battery.
