Using the Features

All Models

• REC: Press momentarily to activate MAX/MIN/AVG recording mode. and “MAX

MIN AVG” appear on the display. The meter beeps when new maximum or minimum

reading is updated. The average reading is calculated over time. Press the button

momentarily to read the MAX, MIN and AVG readings in sequence. Press the button

for 1 second to exit MAX/MIN/AVG recording mode. APO is disabled automatically in

this mode.

• SELECT: Press momentarily to toggle between functions, measurement modes,

or display modes. The last used setting becomes the default when that function is

selected again. To change the default, select a new setting. The setting will be stored

in nonvolatile memory.

• HOLD: Press momentarily to hold the present value on the display. Press again to exit

this mode.

• Intelligent Auto Power Off (APO): The meter automatically turns off after approxi-

mately 32 minutes of inactivity to extend battery life. Active meter function is speciﬁed

as: selector switch is rotated or pushbuttons are pressed; readings above 8.5% of

the range; non-OL readings for resistance, continuity, or diode function; non-zero

readings for Hz function; phase rotation segment moving. To wake up the meter from

Auto Power Off, press the SELECT button momentarily and release or turn the rotary

switch OFF and then back on. Always turn the rotary switch to the OFF position when

the meter is not in use.

• : Press the SELECT button for 1 second to toggle the LCD backlight. The back-

light automatically turns off after 32 seconds to extend battery life.

• ∆: Press the ∆ button for 1 second to toggle between zero and normal mode. In zero

mode the value on the LCD when the button is pressed becomes the offset. As the

input value changes, the offset is subtracted from the actual value. This modiﬁed

value is shown on the LCD.

Note: ∆ operation when DCA or DC + ACA functions are selected offsets any mag-

netic hysteresis in the jaw. If DCA or DC + ACA reading before measuring is not zero,

press the ∆ button for 1 second. The LCD will display “dc_0”. When this clears, the

meter is ready for operation. When measuring more than 5 A, this mode is disabled.

As an indication, the meter will beep three times.

• and : If desired, press and hold the REC button while turning the meter ON

to enable the Beeper feature. If the segments indicate a clockwise movement, the

beeper sounds a single long beep per segment cycle. If the segments indicate a coun-

terclockwise movement, the beeper sounds three short beeps per segment cycle.

• : Ensure the motor is electrically isolated from its power source. Press the

SELECT button momentarily to select Motor function. Connect the meter to the

motor as described in the “Settings Table” section of this manual. From the

perspective of looking down the shaft of the motor, spin it clockwise. If the meter

indicates a clockwise movement, the motor leads connected to L1, L2, and L3 of

the meter are T1, T2, and T3, respectively. If the meter indicates a counterclock-

wise movement, swap any two connects between the meter and motor. Then

retest.

• : Press the SELECT button momentarily to select Phase function. Connect the

meter to the phases as described in the “Settings Table” section of this manual.

If the meter indicates a clockwise movement, the phases connected to L1, L2,

and L3 of the meter are L1, L2, and L3, respectively. If the meter indicates a

counterclockwise movement, swap any two connects between the meter and

phases. Then retest.
