SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This meter has been designed for safe se, b t m st be operated with ca tion. The r les listed below

m st be caref lly followed for safe operation.

1. NEVER apply voltage or c rrent to the meter that exceeds the specified maxim m:

Input Protection Limits

Function Maximum Input

V AC/DC, Resistance, Diode Test, Contin ity 600 VDC/AC rms

µA or mA AC/DC 200mA f sed

A AC/DC 10A f sed

2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.

3. O NOT meas re voltage if the voltage on the "COM" inp t jack exceeds 600V above earth

gro nd.

4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage so rce while the f nction switch is in the

c rrent, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter.

5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power s pplies and disconnect the power when making

resistance or diode tests.

6. ALWAYS t rn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace

the f se or batteries.

7. NEVER operate the meter nless the back cover and the battery and f se covers are in place

and fastened sec rely.

8. If the eq ipment is sed in a manner not specified by the man fact rer, the protection provided

by the eq ipment may be impaired.

Operating Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. igh-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are extremely 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.

AC/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. Rotate the function switch to the V

or V

position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. Insert the red

test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.

3. 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.

4. Read the voltage in the display.

AC/DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

2. Press the MODE button to indicate “DC” or “AC” on the display.

3. For current measurements up to 2000µA, set the function switch to the µA position

and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µA/mA jack.

4. For current measurements up to 200 mA DC, set the function switch to the mA

position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µA/mA jack.

5. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the 10A position

and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.

6. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit under test.

7. Apply power to the circuit.

8. Read the current in the display.

EX210_EX210T-en-US_v1.5 9/15

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all

capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line

cords.

1. Rotate the function switch to the Ω position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive jack.

3. Touch the test probe tips across the device under test.

4. Read the resistance in the display.

CONTINUITY CHECK

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or wires that have a

voltage potential.

1. Rotate the function switch to the position.

2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive jack.

3. Press the MODE button to indicate“ " on the display

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check.

5. If the resistance is less than the continuity threshold, the audible signal will sound.

DIODE TEST

1. Rotate the function switch to the green position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test

lead banana plug into the positive jack.

3. Press the MODE button to indicate “ “and “V” 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.

EX210_EX210T-en-US_v1.5 9/15

NON-CONTACT INFRARED TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

1. Rotate the function switch to the IR position. The uppe ight fou digit tempe atu e display will

switch on.

2. P ess the MODE button to select °F o °C.

3. Aim the inf a ed senso (top of mete ) at the su face to be measu ed.

4. P ess and Hold the IRT button to tu n on the IR the momete and lase pointe . The lase

pointe identifies the su face spot to be measu ed and “SCAN” will flash in the display.

5. Read the tempe atu e in the display.

6. The a ea of the su face to be measu ed must be la ge than the spot size as dete mined by the

distance to spot size values listed in the specification table.

7. Release the IRT button to tu n the IR the momete and lase pointe off. “HOLD” and the

final measu ed value will emain in the display.

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct t e laser pointer at an eye. Low powe visible lase s

do not no mally p esent a haza d, but may p esent some potential fo haza d if viewed di ectly fo

extended pe iods of time.

IR Spot to Distance Diagram

The 4:1 spot to distance atio dete mines the size of the measu ed su face a ea with espect to the

distance the mete is held away f om the su face.

IR Measurement Notes

1. The object unde test should be la ge than the spot (ta get) size calculated by the field of view

diag am.

2. If the su face of the object unde test is cove ed with f ost, oil, g ime, etc., clean befo e taking

measu ements.

3. If an object's su face is highly eflective, apply masking tape o flat black paint to the su face

befo e measu ing.

4. The mete will not make measu ements th ough glass steam, dust, and smoke.

5. To find a hot spot, aim the mete outside the a ea of inte est then scan ac oss (in an up and

down motion) until the hot spot is located.

sho ten the life of the elect onic pa ts and disto t o melt plastic pa ts.

3. HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. D opping it can damage the elect onic pa ts

o the case.

4. KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT use

chemicals, cleaning solvents, o dete gents.

5. USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE. Remove old o

weak batte ies so they do not leak and damage the unit.

6. IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batte ies should be

emoved to p event damage to the unit.

BATTERY and FUSE Repla ement

WARNING: To avoid elect ic shock, disconnect the test leads f om any sou ce of voltage befo e

emoving the batte y cove .

1. Tu n powe off and disconnect the test leads f om the mete .

2. Lift the mete stand to expose the batte y cove .

3. Open the ea batte y/fuse compa tment by emoving the Phillips head sc ew on the lowe ea of

the mete .

4. Ca efully pull down on the cove just enough to elease the latch and then lift it off. The cove will

not pull down all the way.

5. Remove the old batte y o fuse and install a new one of the co ect ating.

6. Place the batte y/fuse cove back in place. Secu e with the sc ew.

WARNING: To avoid elect ic shock, do not ope ate the mete until the batte y cove is in place and

fastened secu ely.

NOTE: If the mete does not wo k p ope ly, check the fuses and eplace the batte y to make su e that

they a e still good and that they a e p ope ly inse ted.

Battery Safety Reminders

o Please dispose of batte ies esponsibly; obse ve local, state, and national egulations.

o Neve dispose of batte ies in a fi e; batte ies may explode o leak.

o Neve mix batte y types; install new batte ies of the same type.
