ASTROAI USER MANUAL  
DT132A 4000 Count Auto-Ranging Multimeter 
 

Thank you for purchasing the AstroAI DT132A 4000 Count Auto-Ranging Multimeter. It is a 3 ¾ 
digit, 3999 counts, auto-ranging digital multimeter. This multimeter is designed to be safely and 
accurately used by anyone to measure AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance Continuity, 
Temperature, Frequency, and test Diodes. This manual provides all safety information, 
operation instructions, specifications, and maintenance for the meter.  
 
Helpful functions include polarity indication, data hold, relative data measurements, and 
overload indication. This digital multimeter has been designed according to EN61010-1 
oncoming electronic measuring instruments with an overload category (CAT III 600V) and 
pollution degree 2.  
 
Thank you again for choosing AstroAI, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your 
product, please contact us at

NOTE: 

Fully read and understand this manual before using this Digital Multimeter.  

 

 
WARNING

: To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to 

the Meter or to the equipment being tested, adhere to the following rules:

 

●  Before using the Meter, inspect the exterior casing. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged 

or if all or part of the exterior casing is removed. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay 
special attention to the insulation around the connectors. 

●  Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for 

continuity.  

●  Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the 

terminals or between any terminal and grounding.  

●  The manual rotary switch should be placed in the correct position before measurement 

and should NOT be moved during measurement to prevent damage to the Meter. 

●  When the Meter is working at an effective voltage over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, 

special care should be taken because there is a danger of electric shock. 

●  Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.  
●  Do not use or store the Meter in a high-temperature environment, do not expose to high 

levels of humidity, or near strong magnetic fields. The performance of the Meter may 
deteriorate after dampening. 

●  When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards. 
●  Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing 

resistance, continuity or diodes. 

●  Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears.  With a low battery, the 

Meter might produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury. 

●  Remove the connection between the testing leads and the circuit being tested and turn 

the Meter power off before opening the Meter case.
