OPERATION INSTRUCTION
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:
•
Each time only one conductor should be clamped.
•
The conductor should be in the center of the jaws in order to get accurate reading.
•
Don't touch any conductor with hand or skin.
4. Read the reading on the display.
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
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
red test lead is positive)
2, Set the function switch to
appears 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
red test lead is positive)
2. Set the function switch to
appears 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.
