Series III Multimeter

Instruction Sheet

Read First: Safety Information

•Never use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged.

•Be sure the test leads and switch are in the correct position

for the desired measurement.

•Never measure resistance in a circuit when power is applied.

•Never touch the probe to a voltage source when the test

leads are plugged into the 10 A or 40 mA input jack.

•Never apply more than rated voltage between any input jack

and earth ground.

•Be careful when working with voltages above 60 V dc or 30

V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

•Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test

probes when making measurements.

WWarning

To avoid false readings, which could lead to

possible electric shock or personal injury, replace

the battery as soon as the battery indicator M

appears.

Mode

WWarning

To avoid electric shock, do not use the Touch

Holdmode to determine if a circuit with high

voltage is dead. The Touch Holdmode will not

capture unstable or noisy readings.

The Touch Holdmode automatically captures and displays a

stable voltage reading.

When the meter detects a new input, it beeps and displays a new

Stray voltages can cause the meter to display a new reading.

To exit the Touch Holdmode, press the yellow key a second

time or turn the rotary switch.

Smoothing Displayed Readings

Smoothing displays the average of eight readings. When the

input signal changes rapidly, smoothing makes the digital display

readings more stable. Smoothing does not work in continuity, Lo-

Ohms, and capacitance.

To select Smoothing, press the yellow key while turning on the

meter.

If the meter is on but is inactive for an hour (20 minutes in diode

test), the screen only displays four bar graph segments. To

resume operation, turn the rotary switch or press a button.

meter’s internal protection circuitry. You can compensate in

either Lo-Ohms or continuity.

For rated accuracy in the lowest two capacitance ranges,

subtract the open-lead reading from the measurement.

Current

(?A)WWarning

To avoid injury, do not attempt a current

measurement if the open circuit voltage

exceeds the rated voltage of the meter.

To avoid blowing an input fuse, use the 10 A jack until you are

sure that the current is less than 40 mA.

Turn off power to the circuit. Break the circuit. (For circuits of

more than 10 amps, use a current clamp.) Put the meter in series

with the circuit as shown and turn power on.

Maintenance

WWarning

To avoid electric shock, remove the test leads

before opening the case, and close the case before

using the meter. To prevent fire and possible arc-

flash, use fuses with ratings shown on the back of

the meter.

Caution

To avoid contamination or static damage, do not

touch the circuit board without proper static

protection.

True RMS and Crest Factor

True rms sensing provides accurate readings on sinusoidal

signals and on signals with harmonics or distorted waveforms.

True rms readings indicate the true heat-providing current which

may cause overheated conductors, connections, breakers, or

transformers.

Crest factor (CF) is the peak signal value divided by the rms

signal value and defines the dynamic range of the meter. A sine

wave has a CF = 1.4.
