Manual Ranging and Autoranging
The meter defaults to autorange mode in measurement functions which have both autorange and
manual range mode. When the meter is in autorange mode, "Auto" is displayed.
1. Press the "RANGE" button to enter the manual range mode. The symbol "Auto" disappears.
2. Each press of the "RANGE" button increases the range. When the highest range is reached, the
meter wraps to the lowest range.
3. To exit the manual range mode, press and hold down the "RANGE" button for about 2 seconds.
The meter returns to the auto range mode, and "Auto" apears.
Note:
The" RANGE" button is enabled only in voltage and resistance measurement functions.
Measuring DC Voltage
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the
2. Set the function switch to V position.
3. Connect the test leads across the source or circuit to be measured.
4. Read the reading on the display. The polarity of the red test lead connection will be indicated as
well.
Note:
To avoid electric shock to you or damages to the meter, do not apply voltage higher than 600V
between terminals.
Measuring AC Voltage
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the
2. Set the function switch to "V" position.
3. Connect the test leads across the source or circuit to be measured.
4. Read the reading on the display.
Note:
To avoid electric shock to you or damages to the meter, do not apply voltage higher than 600V
between terminals.
Measuring DC or AC Current
1. Set the function switch to the
current measurements,
2. If the display does not read zero, press the
3. Press the trigger and clamp the jaws around the conductor to be tested.
Make sure that the jaws are perfectly closed.
Note:
x
Each time only one conductor should be clamped.
x
The conductor should be in the center of the jaws in order to get accurate reading.
x
Don't touch any conductor with hand or skin.
4. Read the reading on the display.
Note:
x
Remove all the test leads from the meter before using the meter for current measurements.
x
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.
x
The max. measuring capacity is AC/DC 400A. Measuring a current higher than AC/DC 400A will
cause a larger measurement error.
x
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)
x
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
2. Set the function switch to the Ÿ position,
position for DC current measurements, or to the position for AC
for zeroing.
