info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk Before You Start Overview This Operating Manual covers information on safety and cautions. Please read the relevant information carefully and observe all the Warnings and Notes strictly. Warning To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the “Safety Information” and “Rules for Safe Operation” carefully before using the Meter.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk Safety Information This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010 safety measurement requirement: in pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. II 1000V, CAT.III 600V) and double insulation. CAT.II: Local level, appliance, PORTABLE EQUIPMENT etc., with smaller transient overvoltages than CAT. III CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltage than CAT.

info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk Making Measurement Introduction Chapter 3 explains how to make measurements. You could turn the Meter off by turning to OFF position or set up the sleep mode from 1-30 minutes. Please must ensure the Meter is not under sleep mode if you turn the Meter on but without display. To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “ ” appears. A.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk ii. ACV, DCV, Hz, ACA and DCA range Turn the rotary switch to ACV, DCV, Hz, ACA or DCA range, the Meter displays digital reading (Multimeter mode). Press Mode to switch to waveform display (scope mode) as below Figure 4. When entering scope mode, time base is auto trace, the amplitude is manual set, you may need to re-set them. You could set the trigger level as well if it is needed. Details of measurement operation of ACV, DC, Hz, ACA or DCA can be seen from B.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk z Press Time button under scope mode, the corresponding functional button: Base ▲ Base ▼ Base < F1 F2 F3 Base > F4 F1: increase the number of periods F2: decrease the number of periods. F3: Trigger point move left F4: Trigger point right move The auto set feature will be off when changing the measurement mode. iii.

Digital Multimeter Mode i.Measuring Voltages Warning To avoid harms to you or damages to the Meter from electric shock, please do not attempt to measure voltages higher than DC 1000V, AC 750V, although readings may be obtained. To measure voltages, set up the Meter as Figure 3-2 and do the following: Red Black Figure 3-2. Voltages Measurement 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Insert the red test lead into the V terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk II. Measuring Currents Warning If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator himself may be hurt. To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, check the Meter’s fuses before measuring current. Use proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement. Never place the testing leads in parallel with any circuit or component when the leads are plugged into the current terminals.

Set the rotary switch to mA . Connect the test lead in series with the return circuit to be tested. The measured value shows on the display. Press MODE button to toggle between Multimeter mode and Scope mode. Press F1 to toggle between AC and DC current measurement.

info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk When measuring resistance, the corresponding functional buttons: RES REL Rang ▲ Rang ▼ F1 F2 F3 F4 F1: toggle to diode mode F2: relative mode F3: select to a range up F4: select to a range down Note: z When measuring low resistance, the test leads can add 0.1Ω to 0.2Ωof error to resistance measurement. To test the leads, touch the probe tips together and read the resistance of the leads.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk Insert the red test lead into the Ω terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. Set the rotary switch to Ω . For forward voltage drop readings on any semiconductor component, place the red test lead on the component’s anode and place the black test lead on the component’s cathode. The red test lead polarity is “+” while the black test lead polarity is “— “. The measured value shows on the display.

info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk Note z The requirement of Input amplitude “a” is as follows: When ≤1MHz: 300 mV≤a≤30Vrms; >1MHz: 600 mV≤a≤5Vrms z It is normal to have few seconds run time when switch from other functions to these functions. z When Hz or duty cycle measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test and remove the test leads away from the input terminals. vii.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk z When capacitance measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test and remove the test leads away from the input terminals of the Meter. Using Software When using the Software, please refer to the Installation Guide of the included CD-ROM. Maintaining The Test Tool This chapter provides basic maintenance information including battery and fuse replacement instruction.
info@tursdaletechnicalservices.co.uk 取下電池蓋: Remove the battery compartment 取下產品後殼: Remove the case bottom 按需要更換保險絲: Install fuses with correct type and specification Figure 5-1.
