Introduction
1
The Southwire 16040T True RMS Multimeter wirelessly transmits data to
the MApp™ mobile app via Bluetooth
®
technology allowing you to view,
save, organize and share datalogs as well as take measurements from a
safe distance. Visit nextgenmeters.southwiretools.com for mobile app
download information. Functions include AC/DC voltage and current,
resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, duty cycle, diode test. The
16040T also offers the added convenience of a built-in flashlight. This meter
is fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide many years
of reliable service.

FCC Statement
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the Southwire Co. could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Maintenance
This Multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care
instructions are performed:
1. KEEP THE METER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off.
2. USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature extremes can
shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts.
3. HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the electronic
parts or the case.
4. KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT use
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
5. USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE. Remove old or
weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.
6. IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batteries should
be removed to prevent damage to the unit.
IC Statement
This device complies with RSS247 of Industry Canada. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

1. Insert the black test lead into the COM
input jack.
2. For current measurements up to 10A AC/DC,
set the rotary function switch to the 10A
position and insert the red test lead into
the 10A input jack.
3. For current measurements up to 400mA
AC/DC, set the rotary function switch to
the mA position and insert the red test
lead into the mA input jack.
4. For current measurements up to 4000µA
AC/DC, set the rotary function switch to
the µA position and insert the red test lead
into the mA input jack.
5. Press the MODE button to select AC or
DC current. The “AC” or “DC” symbol
will appear on the LCD display.
6. Remove power from the circuit under test,
then open up the circuit at the point where
you wish to measure current.
7. Touch the test lead probes in series with
the circuit being measured. For DC current,
touch the red probe to the positive side of
the circuit and touch the black probe to the
negative side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current on the LCD display.
AC/DC Current Measurements
Observe all safety precautions when
working on live circuits. Do not measure current on circuits
that exceed 600V. Measurements in the 10A range should
be limited to 30 seconds every 15minutes.
