This manual should be read thoroughly before use and kept for future reference.
Make certain that the red lead is connected to the (+) input terminal, and the black lead
is connected to the (–) input terminal.
Make certain the leads are fully inserted into the meter input sockets.
When measuring resistance, check the zero adjustment after each change of
measurement range.
Set the meter to the OFF position when not in use. This will engage dampening,
providing protection to the meter movement.
When measuring voltage, if the approximate voltage is unknown, start at the top range
and work down.
Set the range selector to the proper DCV position.
Connect the red lead to the (+) VΩA input.
Connect the black lead to the (–) COM input.
Keeping certain to observe correct polarity, connect the test leads in parallel to the
load to be measured.
Read the value on the DC scale, be sure to use the correct scale for the range
selected.
Set the range selector to the proper ACV position.
Connect the red lead to the (+) VΩA input.
Connect the black lead to the (–) COM input.
Connect the test leads in parallel to the load to be measured.
Read the value on the AC scale, be sure to use the correct scale for the range
selected
Set the range selector to the proper DCA position.
Connect the red lead to the (+) VΩA input.
Connect the black lead to the (–) COM input.
Connect the test leads in series to the load to be measured. In other words, the meter
must be part of the circuit to be measured.
Read the value on the DC scale, be sure to use the correct scale for the range
selected
Set the range selector to the DC 10A position.
Connect the red lead to the DC10A 10A MAX input.
Connect the black lead to the (–) COM input.
Connect the test leads in series to the load to be measured. In other words, the meter
