Safety
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 500V above
earth ground.
4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is
in the current, resistance or diode mode; doing so can damage the meter.
5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power
when making resistance or diode tests.
6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the back to
replace the fuse or batteries.
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery/fuse door are in
place and fastened securely.

Operation
AC 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 40 or 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.
3) Read the ACA value on the LCD.
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 40 or 200A 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 DCA value on the LCD.
AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, do not make any voltage
measurements that exceed the maximum specified.
1) Set the Function switch to the VAC position.
2) Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V,Hz,Ω” terminal; Black
lead to the COM input.
3) With the pointed end of the test leads measure voltage. Remember that voltage
measurements are made in parallel with the device or circuit under test.
4) Read the ACV value on the LCD.
DC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, do not make any voltage
measurements that exceed the maximum specified.
1) Set the Function switch to the VDC position.
2) Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V,Hz,Ω” terminal; Black
lead to the COM input.
3) With the pointed end of the test leads measure voltage. Remember that voltage
measurements are made in parallel with the device or circuit under test.
4) Read the DCV value on the LCD.
Resistance and Continuity Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, remove power to the circuit
under test and discharge all capacitors.
1) Set the Function switch to the Ωposition.
2) Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V,Hz,Ω” terminal; Black
lead to the COM input.
3) With the pointed end of the test leads measure resistance. Remember that
resistance measurements are made in parallel with the device or circuit under test.
4) Read the resistance value on the LCD.
5) If the resistance is less than 40Ω, the continuity beeper will sound.

Frequency Measurements
1) Ensure that at least 0.1A AC is detectable with an ACA measurement before
measuring Frequency.
2) Set the Function switch to the Hz position.
3) Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V,Hz,Ω” terminal; Black
lead to the COM input.
4) With the pointed end of the test leads measure frequency
5) Read the Frequency measurement on the LCD in Hz.
Additional Features
Relative Measurements
1) Press the Zero key and the present measurement will Zero.
2) All subsequent measurements are 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.
4) Note that Relative mode is not available if the MIN/MAX mode is enabled.
Data Hold
To freeze a reading on the LCD, press the Data Hold key. The HOLD icon will appear
and the measurement will be held on the meter’s LCD. To release the Data Hold
function and return the meter to normal operation, press the Data Hold key again.
MIN/MAX Reading Mode
Pressing the MIN/MAX key allows the meter to display ONLY the highest and 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 higher than the previous MAX or lower than the
previous MIN readings is encountered. 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.
