SAFETY NOTES

•Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.

•Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.

•Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use.

•Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.

WARNINGS

•Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.

•When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.

•Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V.

•When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

UL Note

A UL mark does not indicate that this product has been evaluated for accuracy.

CAUTIONS

•Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and

understand this user manual before operating the meter.

•Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

•Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before

operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.

•Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC

rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

•Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before

performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

•Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the

uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be

used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".

•If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Operation

NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation

manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when

the meter is not in use.

AC/DC Current Measurements (DC Current on Model EX830 only)

WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making

current clamp measurements.

1. Set the Function switch to the AAC

or ADC range

2. Press the trigger to open jaw.

Fully enclose only one conductor.

For optimum results, center the

conductor in the jaw.

3. The clamp meter LCD will display

the reading.

DCA ZERO (EX830 only)

The DC Zero feature removes offset

values and improves accuracy for DC

current measurements. To perform a

zero, select ADC and with no

conductor in the jaw:

1. Press the DC ZERO button to

zero the display. “ZERO” will appear in the display. The offset value is now stored and

removed from all measurements.

2. To view the stored value, press the DC ZERO button. “ZERO” will flash and the

stored value will be displayed.

3. To exit this mode, press and Hold the ZERO button until “ZERO” is no longer in the

display.

AC/DC Voltage Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the

red test lead into the positive Vterminal.

2. Set the function switch to the VAC or VDC position.

3. Use the MODE button to select AC or DC Voltage (EX830 only).

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

5. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.

Resistance Measurements

Note: Remove power before making resistance measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the

red test lead into the Ωpositive terminal.

2. Set the function switch to the Ω position.

3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under

test.

4. Read the resistance on the LCD display.

Capacitance Measurements

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor under test

before measuring. If “dISC” appears in the display, remove

and discharge the capacitor.

1. Set the function switch to the capacitance position.

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

and the red test lead banana plug into the CAP positive jack.

3. Press MODE to zero any stray capacitance.

4. Touch the test probe tips across the part under test.

5. Read the capacitance value in the display.

6. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.

Note: For very large values of capacitance measurement time can be

several minutes before the final reading stabilizes.

Frequency Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the V Hz Position.

2. Press and hold the MODE button to select the Frequency (Hz)

function. “k Hz” will appear in the display.

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

and the red test lead banana plug into the Hz positive jack.

4. Touch the test probe tips across the part under test.

5. Read the Frequency value on the display.

6. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.

7. Press and hold the MODE button again to return to the voltage mode

CAP

EX800 Series Version 3.1 6/059

Type K Temperature Measurements

(Models EX820 and EX830 only)

1. Set the function switch to the KTemp position.

2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative COM and the

positive TEMP jacks, observing polarity.

3. Touch the Temperature Probe tip to the device under test.

Continue to touch the part under test with the probe until the

reading stabilizes.

4. Read the temperature on the display. The digital reading will

indicate the proper decimal point and value.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple probe

has been removed before changing to another measurement function.

Note: An open input or a temperature overrange the meter will display

“OL” and beep.

Note: See the “Temperature Units” paragraph to select °F or °C

Continuity Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the

Ωpositive terminal.

2. Set the function switch to the •)))position.

3. Use the MODE button to select continuity •))). The display icons will change when the

MODE button is pressed.

4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test.

5. If the resistance is < 40Ω, a tone 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 jack

2. Turn the function switch to position. Use the MODE button to select the diode

function if necessary (diode symbol will appear on the LCD when in Diode test mode)

3. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction under test. Note the

meter reading

4. Reverse the test lead polarity by reversing the red and black leads. Note this reading

5. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:

If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 0.900V) and the other

reading displays OL, the diode is good.

If both readings display OL the device is open.

If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.

Non-Contact InfraRed Temperature Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the IR Temp

position.

2. Aim the infrared sensor (rear of the meter) at

the surface to be measured.

3. Press the button in the center of the rotary

function switch to turn on the laser pointer and

identify the surface spot to be measured.

4. The area of the surface to be measured must

be larger than the spot size as determined by

the distance to spot size specification.

5. Read the temperature in the display.

Note: See the “Temperature Units” paragraph to select oF or oC

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at

an eye. Low power visible lasers do not normally present a

hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed

directly for extended periods of time.

IR Spot to Distance Diagram

The 8:1 spot to distance ratio determines the size of the measured surface area with

respect to the distance the meter is held away from the surface.

IR Measurement Notes

1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the

field of view diagram.

2. If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean

before taking measurements.

3. If an object's surface is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black paint to the

surface before measuring.

4. The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfaces such

as glass.

5. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure measurements.

6. To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an

up and down motion) until the hot spot is located.
