Operation

0 Adjustment

1. Connect the test leads to the meter as follows:

a. Green lead to the 'E' terminal

b. Yellow lead to the 'P' terminal

c. Red lead to the 'C' terminal

2. Set the function selector switch to the desired measurement range.

3. Short the 3 test leads together.

4. Press the TEST key.

5. Use the 0 Adjust knob to adjust the displayed reading to 0Ω.

6. Press to TEST key again to end the 0 adjustment process.

Test Preparation and Setup

1. Connect the test leads to the meter (1) as follows:

•Green lead (2) to the 'E' terminal

•Yellow lead (3) to the 'P' terminal

•Red lead (4) to the 'C' terminal

2. Drive the Auxiliary Earth Bars P1 (6) & C1 (7) into the ground. Align the bars

equidistant to the existing Earth ground connection and in a straight line as shown in

the diagram above. If the auxiliary bars are placed in close proximity to the ground

stake, measurement inaccuracies will result.

3. Connect the clamp ends of the test leads to the Earth bars and existing ground

connection as shown above:

•Green lead (2) to the existing ground (5)

•Yellow lead (3) to Earth Bar P1 (6)

•Red lead (4) to the Earth Bar C1 (7)

Earth Voltage Test

1. Set the function on the selector’s switch to the EARTH VOLATAGE position.

2. Confirm that the voltage measurement is less than 10V AC; otherwise accurate Earth

resistance measurements cannot be made. If voltage is present (higher than 10V AC),

the source of the voltage must be found and corrected before testing can continue.

3. Press to TEST key to end the test. Note the LCD reading.

Earth Resistance Test

1. Set the meter's function switch to the desired resistance range.

2. Press the TEST button. . The “ “ icon will flash and the audible signal will sound.

3. Note the displayed reading.

4. If high resistance is detected, note the value and take appropriate steps to correct the

ground connection if necessary.

5. Press to TEST key to end the test.

6. Readings of “1”…Ωare typical when the test leads are not connected to the meter.

HOLD Function

The Hold function freezes the latest measurement reading on the LCD.

1. Press the HOLD key to freeze the reading on the LCD

2. Press the HOLD key again to exit the HOLD function.

3. The HOLD function does not retain measurement data if the meter is turned off.

Backlight

1. Press the “ “ key to turn on the backlight.

2. The backlight will turn off after approximately 15 seconds.

200kΩResistance Measurement

1. Connect the red test lead to the VΩ connector and the black test lead to the COM

connector.

2. Set the function selector switch to the 200kΩ position.

3. Connect the test probes to the circuit or component under test.

4. Note the displayed Resistance value.

AC Voltage Measurement

1. Connect the red test lead to the VΩ connector and the black test lead to the COM

connector.

2. Set the function selector switch to the 750V AC position.

3. Connect the test probes to the circuit under test.

4. Note the displayed Voltage value.

DC Voltage Measurement

1. Connect the red test lead to the VΩ connector and the black test lead to the COM

connector.

2. Set the function selector switch to the 1000V DC position.

3. Connect the test probes to the circuit under test.

4. Note the displayed Voltage value.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the low battery icon ' ' appears on the LCD, the meter's batteries must be

changed.

1. Remove power and disconnect the test leads from the meter.

2. Remove the tilt stand from the rear of the meter.

3. Remove the 4 battery compartment screws with a Phillips head

screwdriver.

4. Remove the battery compartment cover and replace the six 1.5V 'AA'

batteries.

5. Affix compartment cover and tighten screw.

6. Reattach the tilt stand.

Cleaning and Storage
