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.
