OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Measuring DC or AC Current
Note: Remove all the test leads from the meter before using the meter for current measurements.
After you set the function switch to a current range position, wait about 5 to 10 minutes before you
proceed. It is necessary for accurate measurements. The max. measuring capacity is AC/DC 400A.
Measuring a current higher than AC/DC 400A will cause a larger measurement error. For DC current
measurements, the display can indicate the current's direction. A positive reading (negative sign "-"
doesn't appear) indicates that the current direction is from the meter's front to its back. (Tip: Current
direction is the opposite of electron flow direction). Don't use the meter to measure a circuit's current if
the circuit's voltage exceeds 600V.
Measuring Resistance
1. Connect the black test lead to the (COM) jack and the red test lead to the (+) jack.
2. Set the function switch to the (Ω) position,
3. Connect the test leads across the load to be measured.
4. Read the reading on the display.
Note: If the resistance is more than 1 MΩ, it may take several seconds for the reading stabilize. It is
normal for high resistance measurements. If the input terminals are in open circuit state, over range
indicator (OL) will be displayed on the display. Before measuring in circuit resistance, disconnect all
power to the circuit and discharge all capacitors thoroughly.
Diode Test
1. Connect the black test lead to the (COM) jack and the red test Iead to the (+) jack (The red test
lead is positive)
2. Set the function switch to (
on the display.
3. Connect the red test lead to the anode of the diode to be tested and the black test lead to the
cathode of the diode.
4. Read the approximate forward voltage drop of the diode on the display.
Continuity Test
1. Connect the black test lead to the (COM) jack and the red test lead to the (+) jack. (The red test
lead is positive)
2. Set the function switch to (
on the display.
3. Connect the test leads across the circuit to be tested.
4. If the resistance is less than about 30Ω, the built-in buzzer will sound.
Note: Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors thoroughly before test.
Automatic Power-off
If the meter is not used and stays in a range position for about 15 minutes, it will turn off automatically
and go into Sleep mode. To arouse the meter from Sleep, press the (SELECT) button.
Measuring Temperature
Note: To avoid possible damage to the meter or other equipment, remember that while the meter is
rated for -20°C to +1000°C, the K Type Thermocouple provided with the meter is rated to 250°C. For
temperatures out of that range, use a higher rated thermocouple. The K Type Thermocouple provided
with the meter is a present, it is not professional and can only be used for non-critical reference
measurements. For accurate measurements, use a professional thermocouple.
1. Connect the negative (-) plug of the K type thermocouple to the (COM) terminal and the positive
(+) plug of this thermocouple to the (+) terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to (°C) position.
3. Connect the sensing end of the thermocouple to the object to be tested.
4. Wait a while, then read the reading on the display.
