3.9 Measuring Temperature
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the meter when
measuring a temperature, make sure that the surface in contact
with the K thermocouple has no voltage.
1. Turn the rotary switch to
.
2. Toggle the yellow key to choose between °C and °F.
3. Plug the K thermocouple into the + and COM terminal, insuring the thermocouple
plug marked with a + symbol is connected to the + terminal.
4. Read the temperature in degree on the display. While doing the measurement
make sure to keep the meter within its working temperature.
After inserting the plug into the meter, allow 1 minute for thermal stabilization.
If no thermocouple the meter will display its internal temperature if above 0°C.
If temperature measured is above 1300°C the LCD will display OL.

3.10 Non Contact Voltage Detection (NCV)
NCV can only detect AC live voltage referenced to the ground,
the Meter may not detect voltage in NCV due to installation
condition of electrical circuit or equipement. Never touch the
circuit under test to avoid possible danger even if the Meter
didn't detect voltage in NCV.
Network: 230V only, 50 Hz (sensitivity: 10 mV)
The meter can detect AC live voltage without contact.
1. Remove all test leads from the Meter
2. Turn the rotary switch to
3. Approach live conductor from LCD (position of the Meter may affect measurement)
If no AC live voltage is detected the Meter will display EF and product will be
silent.
If AC live voltage is detected product will show 4 different levels:
from - to - - - -, at – buzzer will sound discontinuously, at - - - - buzzer will sound
continuously, and backlight will blink red. Basic detection voltage is for 220/230V.
NCV is only for indication purpose and shouldn't be used for measurement, or to
detect the absence of voltage.
The NCV mode has an indicative meaning only and must not be
used either for measuring nor detect the absence of voltage.
An engraved marking on the sheath indicates the position of
the antenna for NCV indication.
