Safety Symbols and Information
!Caution ! Refer to the explanation in this Manual
Caution ! Risk of electric shock
Earth (Ground)
This meter has been designed to be safe in use, but the operator must use caution in its operation.
The rules listed below should be carefully followed for safe operation.
1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 600V above earth
ground.
4. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the back to replace
the fuse or batteries.
5. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery/fuse door are in place and
fastened securely.

Operation
AC Current Measurements (True RMS)
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from the meter before making current
measurements.
1) Set the Function switch to the 400mA, 4000mA, or 30A AC range.
2) Press the jaw trigger and clamp around, fully enclosing a single conductor.
Do not allow a gap between the two halves of the jaw. Refer to the diagram
at right for the correct way to enclose a single conductor.
3) Read the AC Current value on the LCD’s digital or bargraph display.
DC Current Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from the meter before making current
measurements.
1) Set the Function switch to the mA or 30A DC range.
2) Press the DCA zero key to null the meter display.
3) Press the Trigger to open the current sense Jaw.
4) Fully enclose the conductor to be measured. Do not allow a gap between the two halves of the
jaw.
5) Read the DC Current value on the LCD’s digital or bargraph display.
AC Voltage Measurements (True RMS)
WARNING: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, do not make any voltage
measurements that exceed the maximum specified limits.
1) Set the Function switch to the 400V AC position.
2) Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V” terminal; Black lead to the COM
input.
3) Connect the test leads to the circuit or device under test.
4) Read the AC Voltage value on the LCD’s digital or bargraph display.
DC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, do not make any voltage
measurements that exceed the maximum specified limits.
1) Set the Function switch to the 400V DC position.
2) Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V” terminal; Black lead to the COM
input.
3) Connect the test leads to the circuit or device under test.
4) Read the DC Voltage value on the LCD’s digital or bargraph display.

Advanced Features
Relative Measurements
1) Press the ZERO key. The displayed reading will zero and the word ZERO will appear on the
upper portion of the LCD.
2) All subsequent measurements will now be displayed with respect to the zeroed reading. For
example, if a 20A reading is zeroed and a 30A reading is subsequently measured, the LCD will
display 10A.
3) To return to normal operation, press and hold the ZERO key for 2 seconds until the word ZERO
switches off.
4) Note that Relative mode is not available if MIN/MAX mode is enabled.
Data Hold
To freeze the current reading on the LCD, press the Data Hold key. The word HOLD will appear on
the LCD while the meter is in the Data Hold mode. To release the Data Hold function and return the
meter to normal operation, press the Data Hold key again. The word HOLD will switch off.
MIN/MAX Readings
Pressing the MIN/MAX key allows the meter to display the highest and then the lowest readings
encountered. Press the MIN/MAX key once to view the minimum reading, press it again to view the
maximum reading. Note that the meter will only change its displayed reading when a measurement
is taken higher than the previous MAX or lower than the previous MIN readings. The HOLD display
icon (along with the MIN or MAX icon) will appear on the LCD in MIN/MAX mode. Pressing the
MIN/MAX key a 3rd time returns the meter to normal operation.
Auto Power Off
To extend battery life, the meter will auto power off after 30 minutes of operation. To resume
operation, either turn the meter OFF and then ON again, or press the HOLD button. To disable the
auto power off function, press down the “HOLD” key while turning the meter on.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
1) When the low battery symbol appears on the LCD the batteries must be replaced.
2) Turn the meter OFF and remove the rear battery compartment Phillips screw.
3) Lift off the battery compartment cover and replace the two 1.5V AA batteries.
4) Replace the compartment cover and secure the screw.
5)
