Peak Hold Function
1. The Peak Hold function is used to
keep the display reading the highest
measurement after the measurement
is nished. Press and release the
peak hold button to keep displaying the
current measurement.
2. Press and release the Peak Hold
button again to resume normal
operation.
3. Make sure the Peak Hold button is not
engaged before taking a measurement.
AC Current Measurements
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the
A
1000 position.
CAUTION: The Test Leads should
not be used to test current and need
to be removed from the multimeter.
The test leads are unfused and are
not intended to test amperage.
2. Press the Transformer Jaws open and
position the live (hot) conductor of the
test item in the center of the Jaws for
greater accuracy. Close the Jaws and
read the measurement.
3. If the current is less than 200 amperes,
set the Range Selector Switch to the
lower range.
4. When testing is complete, switch the
multimeter to OFF position and store
multimeter in the carrying case.
Resistance Measurements
CAUTION: Never measure resistance on a
circuit with voltage running through it;
doing so will damage the multimeter.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the
200 Ohms (continuity )position.
2. Plug the red Test Lead into the Ohms
Jack. Plug the black Test Lead into the
COM Jack.
Short the Test Leads together. The
meter should read “0” Ohms and you
should hear the continuity buzzer
sound.
3. Touch the exposed conductors with the
tips of the Test Leads.
4. Read measurement. To read higher
ohm values switch to higher settings.
5. When testing is complete, switch the
multimeter to OFF position, remove the
Test Leads, and store multimeter and
test leads in the carrying case.
Note: Insulation tests are done using the
optional insulation tester.
Voltage Measurements
1. AC Measurements: Turn the Range
Selector Switch to
V
750.
DC Measurements: Turn the Range
Selector Switch to
V
1000.
2. Plug the red lead into the Volt/Ohm
Jack. Plug the black lead into the COM
Jack.
3. Carefully touch the exposed conductors
with the tips of the probes to measure
the voltage (not amperes). If voltage is
less than 200V, switch to a lower range
for more accurate reading.
4. Note: Do not connect the meter in
series, connect it in parallel.
5. Read measurement.
6. When testing is complete, switch the
multimeter to OFF position, remove the
Test Leads, and store multimeter and
test leads in the carrying case.
