Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 430 (part number

EX430) True RMS Autoranging Multimeter. This meter measures

AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance,

Frequency, Duty Cycle, Diode Test, and Continuity plus

Thermocouple Temperature. Proper use and care of this meter will

provide many years of reliable service.

Safety

This symbol adjacent to another symbol,

terminal or operating device indicates that the

operator must refer to an explanation in the

Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury

or damage to the meter.

This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially

hazardous situation, which if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially

hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may

result damage to the product.

This symbol advises the user that the

terminal(s) so marked must not be connected

to a circuit point at which the voltage with

respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case)

600 VAC or VDC.

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals

identifies them as being associated with

ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected

to particularly hazardous voltages. For

maximum safety, the meter and its test leads

should not be handled when these terminals

are energized.

This symbol indicates that a device is

protected throughout by double insulation or

reinforced insulation.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III

This meter meets the IEC 610-1-95 standard for

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III. Cat III meters are protected

against overvoltage transients in fixed installation at the

distribution level. Examples include switches in the fixed

installation and some equipment for industrial use with

permanent connection to the fixed installation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be

operated with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully

followed for safe operation.

1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the

specified maximum:

Input Protection Limits

Function Maximum Input

V DC or V AC 1000V DC/750V AC, 200Vrms on

400mV range

mA AC/DC 500mA 250V fast acting fuse

A AC/DC 20A 250V fast acting fuse(30

seconds max every 15 minutes)

Frequency, Resistance,

Capacitance, Duty Cycle,

Diode Test, Continuity

250Vrms for 15sec max

Temperature 60V DC/24V AC

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. 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 covers to replace the fuse or battery.

7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the

battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely.

Operating Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC

and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great

care.

1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the

meter is not in use.

2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value

exceeds the range you have selected. Change to a higher range.

NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test

leads not connected to a device, the display may show a

random, changing reading. This is normal and is caused by the

high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and give a proper

measurement when connected to a circuit.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the

circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may

occur that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the green

V position.

2. Press the SELECT button to indicate

“DC” on the display.

3. Insert the black test lead banana

plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug

into the positive Vjack.

4. Touch the black test probe tip to the

negative side of the circuit.

Touch the red test probe tip to the

positive side of the circuit.

5. Read the voltage in the display.

V01.02.01 7/049

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be

long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets

for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the

outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the

outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are

touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming

that no voltage is present.

CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the

circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may

occur that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the green

V position.

2. Press the SELECT button to indicate

“AC” on the display.

3. Insert the black test lead banana

plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert red test lead banana plug into

the positive Vjack.

4. Touch the black test probe tip to the

neutral side of the circuit.

Touch the red test probe tip to the

“hot” side of the circuit.

5. Read the voltage in the display.

V01.02.01 7/0410

DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 20A

scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may

cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.

1. Insert the black test lead

banana plug into the negative

COM jack.

2. For current measurements up

to 4000µA DC, set the

function switch to the yellow

µA position and insert the red

test lead banana plug into the

µA/mA jack

3. For current measurements up

to 400mA DC, set the function

switch to the yellow mA

position and insert the red test

lead banana plug into the

µA/mA jack.

4. For current measurements up

to 20A DC, set the function

switch to the yellow 20A range

and insert the red test lead

banana plug into the 20A jack.

5. Press the SELECT button to indicate “DC” on the display.

6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the

circuit at the point where you wish to measure current.

7. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.

Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

8. Apply power to the circuit.

9. Read the current in the display.
