RPM Measurement 

In RPM mode, the testing range is 0~99999RPM, accuracy 

±(0.05% of 5). Use the RPM accessory to test the 

rotation speed and read the display.

4.9 Temperature Measurement (TEMP) 

The measurement of temperature has two modes: normal and Hi. 

Measuring range: -50

~1300

, -58

~2372

 

Display: Primary 

, Secondary 

 

Set the function to “

TEMP

” position. 

Press 

SELECT

 button to select Hi or normal mode. 

In Hi mode, use K type thermocouple to measure temperature. 

Press 

SELECT

 again, “Hi” disappears from the display, and the 

displayed temperature is internal temperature of the meter. 

Connect the black test lead to “

COM

” terminal and the red test 

lead to “

VΩ Hz

” terminal. Read the display. 

 

 

4.10 Diode and Continuity Check 

WANRNING: To avoid damage to the meter or the testing equipments disconnect circuit power and 

discharge all high voltage capacitors before measuring. Use the DC function to confirm that the capacitor is 

discharged.

 

 

 

Set the function to “

” position. 

 

Connect the black test lead to “

COM

” terminal and the red 

test lead to “

VΩ Hz

” terminal. 

 

For diode check, touch the red test lead to the positive 

polarity of the diode and the black test lead to the negative 

polarity. Touch the probes to the test points and read the 

display. 

 

For continuity check, the beeper sounds if the resistance 
falls below 60Ω 

 

 

4.11 Square Wave Output 

The meter can be used as a square waveform generator, output the waveform with frequency range of 

0.5Hz~5000Hz. 

Set the function key to “

” position. The square waveform  will be output on “

COM

” and “

VΩ  Hz

” 

terminals. 

The output square waveform is default at 606.1Hz, duty cycle 50%
