1 Safety notes

Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The

device may only be used by qualified personnel and repaired by PCE Instruments personnel.

Damage or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual are excluded from our liability and

not covered by our warranty.

• The device must only be used as described in this instruction manual. If used otherwise,

this can cause dangerous situations for the user and damage to the meter.

• The instrument may only be used if the environmental conditions (temperature, relative

humidity, …) are within the ranges stated in the technical specifications. Do not expose

the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or moisture.

• Do not use the meter during thunderstorms.

• Do not expose the device to shocks or strong vibrations. Dropping it can damage the

electronic parts or the case.

• The case should only be opened by qualified PCE Instruments personnel.

• Never use the instrument when your hands are wet. Keep the meter dry.

• You must not make any technical changes to the device.

• The appliance should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use chemicals,

cleaning solvents or detergents.

• The device must only be used with accessories from PCE Instruments or equivalent.

• Before each use, inspect the case for visible damage. If any damage is visible on the

meter or its test leads, do not use the device.

• Do not use the meter if it operates incorrectly. Protection may be compromised.

• Do not operate meter while Low Battery warning is on. Replace batteries immediately.

• Use only new batteries of the recommended size and type. Remove old or weak

batteries to avoid leakage and damage to the meter.

• If the meter is not used for a longer period of time, remove the batteries.

• Do not use the instrument in explosive atmospheres or near explosive vapours, dust or

gases.

• The measurement range as stated in the specifications must not be exceeded under

any circumstances.

• Ensure that the test leads are fully seated in the input jacks and keep your fingers away

from the metal probe tips when taking measurements.

• Before changing functions using the selector switch, always disconnect the test leads

from the circuit under test.

• Use only UL listed test leads with the proper safety category rating.

• Comply with all applicable safety codes. Use approved personal protective equipment

when working near live electrical circuits-particularly when there is arc-flash hazard.

• Use caution on live circuits. Voltages above 30 V AC RMS, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC

pose a shock hazard.

• Verify functionality before using meter by measuring a known live voltage.

• Do not apply voltage or current that exceeds the meter’s maximum rated input limits.

• Non-observance of the safety notes can cause damage to the device and injuries to

the user.

We do not assume liability for printing errors or any other mistakes in this manual.

We expressly point to our general guarantee terms which can be found in our general terms of

business.

If you have any questions please contact PCE Instruments. The contact details can be found at

the end of this manual.

To switch on the device, turn the rotary switch to the desired measuring function. The meter will

power on immediately. To turn off the meter, turn the rotary function switch to “OFF”. The meter

will switch off automatically.

5 Measuring functions

5.1 AC/DC voltage measurements

WARNING: Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages.

1. Set the rotatory function switch to the V position.

2. To select AC or DC voltage, press the MODE-button until the

AC “~” or DC “ ”symbol appears on the LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red

test lead into the V input jack.

4. Touch the test lead probes to the circuit under test. If

measuring DC voltage, touch the red test lead to the positive

side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative side

of the circuit.

5. Read the voltage on the display.

5.2 Low Z AC/DC voltage measurements

WARNING: Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages. Do not connect to

circuits that exceed 300 V AC RMS or 300 V DC when the meter is set to Low Z.

Low Z is used to check for “ghost” voltage. Ghost voltages are present when non-powered wires

are in close proximity to powered wires. Capacitive coupling makes it appear that non-powered

wires are connected to a real source of voltage. The Low Z setting places a load on the circuit,

which greatly reduces the voltage reading when connected to ghost voltage.

1. Set the rotary function switch to the Low Z position.

2. To select AC or DC voltage, press the MODE button until the

AC “~” or DC “ ” symbol appears on the LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red

test lead into the V input jack.

4. Touch the test leads to the circuit under test. If measuring DC

voltage, touch the red test lead to the positive side of the

circuit and the black test lead to the negative side of the

circuit.

5. Read the voltage on the LCD.
