Safety Information

!Caution! Refer to the explanation in this Manual

Double Insulation

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 voltages greater than 60VDC or 25VAC rms.

These voltages are considerd a shock hazard.

3. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery/fuse door are in place and

fastened securely.

Operation

AC Current Measurements

1) Set the Function switch to the 200A 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 ACA value on the LCD.

AC/DC Voltage Measurements

1) Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V

terminal.

2) Set the function switch to the V position.

3) Select AC or DC with the MODE button.

4) Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.

5) Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.

Resistance and Continuity Measurements

1) Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V

Ωterminal.

2) Set the function switch to the Ω position.

3) Use the MODE button to select resistance. The MΩicon will appear in the display.

4) Touch the test leads across the circuit or component under test. It is best to disconnect one side

of the device under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.

5) For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the LCD display

6) For Continuity, use the MODE button to select continuity “)))”. The display icons will change

when the MODE button is pressed.

7) If the resistance is <120 Ωthe meter’s beeper will sound.



Diode Test

1) Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana

plug into the positive V Ωjack.

2) Set the function switch to the Ωposition.

3) Press the MODE button to indicate on the display.

4) Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will typically indicate 0.400 to

0.700V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an open

device will indicate “OL” in both polarities.

Yes

MA150-en-GB_V2.4 1/17

Non-Contact AC Voltage Detection

1) AC Voltage detection operates on any of the three Function switch positions.

2) Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the electrical outlet.

3) If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, slowly slide the

probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live

conductor.

NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of energy

may randomly turn the detector light on. This is normal operation

MAX Hold

To hold the highest reading on the LCD, short press the “MAX ” key. The meter reading will not

change as readings change, rather it will only display the highest reading encountered since the MAX

hold button was pressed. Press the MAX hold button again to return the meter to normal operation.

Backlight

Press and hold the “MAX ” key for more than one second to turn the backlight on. This will also

activate the MAX Hold function. To release the MAX Hold function and return the meter to normal

operation, short press the “MAX ” key. The backlight will automatically turn off after 15 seconds. To

manually turn off the backlight, press and hold the “MAX ” key for more than 1 second.

Flashlight

Press and hold the top button to turn the flashlight on. Release the button to turn the flashlight off.

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a

known live circuit to verify proper operation
