Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual, otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be impaired. In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Rules For Safe Operation (1) Warning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, adhere to the following rules: l l l l l l l l l Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulation around the connectors.
Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Rules For Safe Operation (2) l l l l l l When servicing the Meter, use only the same model number or identical electrical specifications replacement parts. The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident. Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and accident.

Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(1) A.DC & AC Voltage Measurement (see figure 3) red black ( figure 3) Warning To avoid harms to you or damages to the Meter from electric shock, please do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 1000V DC/750V AC although readings may be obtained. Impedance Changeover Button turn on time must be 3 seconds. To avoid damages to the Meter, please do not attempt to press the Impedance Changeover Button when the measured voltage is higher than 250V.
Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(2) 1. Insert the red test lead into the VΩ terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 2. Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement position in V or V . 3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. The measured value shows on the display. Note l When DC/AC voltage measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test.
Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(3) Warning Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open-circuit voltage between the circuit and ground is greater than 60V. If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator himself may be hurt. Use proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement. When the testing leads are connected to the current terminals, do not parallel them across any circuit. The measurement ranges of AC current are: 200.
Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(4) Note l For safety sake, the measuring time for high current should be less than 10 seconds for each measurement and the interval time between 2 measurements should be greater than 15 minutes. l When AC/DC current measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test. C.
Model UT90B: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(7) D.Resistance Measurement (see figure7) red black ( figure 7) Warning To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance. To avoid harms to you, never attempt to measure voltages higher than 60V DC/30V AC. The resistance ranges are: 200.0Ω, 2.000kΩ, 20.00kΩ, 200.0kΩ, 2.000MΩand 20.00MΩ. To measure resistance, connect the Meter as follows: 1.
