Measurement Operation

DC/AC voltage measurement

A Don't use it to test DC 250V, the instrument may be damaged. Always test known voltage with the meter before use to confirm the instrument function is intact.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to "V" and select DC/AC voltage function by "FUNC." key.
  2. Insert the red lead in "VΩmA" terminal, insert the black lead in "COM" terminal.
  3. Connect the test leads to the source or load to be measured.
  4. Read LCD display, when measuring AC voltage the frequency is displayed simultaneously.
Diagram showing DC and AC voltage measurement setup with the multimeter.

DC/AC voltage measurement mV

A Don't use it to test DC 250V, the instrument may be damaged. Always test known voltage with the meter before use to confirm the instrument function is intact.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to "mV" and select DC/AC voltage function by "FUNC." key.
  2. Insert the red lead in "VΩmA" terminal, insert the black lead in "COM" terminal.
  3. Connect the test leads to the source or load to be measured.
  4. Read LCD display, when measuring AC voltage the frequency is displayed simultaneously.

Frequency/Duty measurement (Hz%)

A The voltage above 10V can't be measured, otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to "Hz%".
  2. Insert the red lead in "VΩmA" terminal, insert the black lead in "COM" terminal.
  3. Connect the test leads to the source or circuit in parallel to be measured, measure the frequency and duty.
  4. Read the measurement result on the screen.
Diagram showing frequency/duty measurement setup with the multimeter.

Resistance / Continuity / Diode Measurement

A When measuring voltage on the line, disconnect the power supply and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors. Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged by shock.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to "Ω" and select Resistance / Continuity / Diode measurement function by "FUNC."
  2. Insert the red lead in "VΩmA" terminal, insert the black probe in "COM" terminal.
  3. Connect the test leads to the source or circuit in parallel or diode to be measured.
  4. Read the measurement result on the screen.

Capacitance Measurement

A When measuring Capacitance on the line, disconnect the power supply and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors. Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged and may be struck by electric shocks.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to "F".
  2. Insert the red lead into "VΩmA" terminal, insert the black lead into "COM" terminal.
  3. Connect the probe to the measured circuit or Capacitance, measure the resistance.
  4. Read the measurement result on the screen.

Temperature Measurement

A Don't touch the charged object when measuring temperature.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to "°C/°F".
  2. Insert the K-Type thermocouple into the meter. The thermocouple's positive (red) is inserted into the "VΩmA" terminal, insert the black (negative) into the "COM" input.
  3. Carefully touch the end of the thermocouple to the object being measured. Wait for the temperature reading to settle, then record the result from the LCD display.
