Temperature measurement

1. Set the function switch to TEMP range position. The instrument automatically

defaults to °C range.

2. Push the MODE button to switch between °C and °F

3. Insert the temperature adapter into the V Ω TEMP HZ input terminal and the COM

terminal. Be aware of correct polarity.

4. Connect any K-Type probe into the meter adaptor

5. Read the display.

Diode test

1. Set the function switch to range position.

2. Press the MODE button to select the Diode test. The meter automatically defaults to

resistance.

3. Insert the red test lead into the V Ω TEMP HZ input terminal and the black test lead

to the COM terminal.

4. Connect the other end of the test leads to the component under test.

5. Read the display.

Note: Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers and other

semiconductor devices.

Normal forward voltage drop for a good silicon diode is between 0,4V to 0,9V. A reading

higher than that indicates a leaky (defective) diode. A zero reading indicates a shorted

diode.

Reverse the test leads connection (reverse bias) across the diode. The display shows “OL”

if the diode is good. Any other reading indicates the diode is shorted or resistive (defective)

Continuity testing

1. Set the function switch to the range position.

2. Press the MODE button to select the continuity test range. The meter automatically

defaults to resistance.

3. Insert the red test lead into the V Ω TEMP HZ input terminal and the black test lead

to the COM terminal

4. Short the tip of the test leads and make sure the display reads 0 (zero) and the

buzzer beeps.

5. Connect the tip of the test leads to the circuit or component under test. The display

reads the resistance and the buzzer beeps when the reading is not more than about

35Ω

WARNING: Before attempting to make a resistance measurement ensure there is no

voltage present on the circuit under test.

Data hold

This is a function used for freezing the actual value on the display.

1. Press the HOLD button once. The meter beeps and HOLD is displayed.

2. Pres HOLD button once again to disable the hold function
