1-2 Warning Messages for Safe Use
WARNING
The following instructions are intended to prevent personal injury such as
burn and electric shock. Be sure to follow them when using the meter:
1. Never use the meter for power lines exceeding 6 kVA.
2. Voltages above 70 VDC or 33 Vrms AC (46.7 V peak) are hazardous
to human body. Take care so as not to touch them.
3. Never input signals exceeding the maximum rated input value
(see 1-3).
4. Never use the meter for measuring voltages of lines connected to
equipment (e.g. motors) that generates induced or surge voltage
since it may exceed the maximum allowable overload input.
— 1 —
 05. Never use the meter near equipment which generates strong
electromagnetic waves or is charged.
06. Never use the meter if the meter or test leads are damaged or broken.
07. Never use the meter with the case or battery lid removed.
08. Be sure to use the fuse of the specified rating and specification.
09. During measurement, do not hold the test pin side of the flange of the test leads.
10. To start measurement, first connect the ground side (black test lead).
When disconnecting, the ground side must be disconnected last.
11. During measurement, do not change the meter to another
function or range nor replace the plugs to other terminals.
12. Before starting measurement, make sure that the function and range are properly set.
13. Never use the meter when it is wet or with wet hands.
14. Be sure to use the specified type of test leads.
15. Never attempt repair or modification, except for battery and fuse replacement.
16. Inspect the meter at least once a year.
17. This meter is for indoor use only.

CAUTION
Correct measurement may not be performed when using the
meter in the ferromagnetic / intense electric field such as
places near a transformer, a high-current circuit, and a radio.

[4] DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS

4-1 Power Switch & Function Switch

Turn this switch to turn on and off the power and select a
measuring function.

4-2 Measuring Function Selection: SELECT

When the 00000 button is pressed, the functions change as
follows:

• V position: DC voltage (000) AC voltage (000) DC voltage (000)

•000/000/000 position: Resistance measurement (000) diode test (000)
continuity check (000) resistance measurement (000)
• µ A position : DC current (000) AC current (000) DC current (000)
• mA position : DC current (000) AC current (000) DC current (000)
• A position : DC current (000) AC current (000) DC current (000)

4-3 Data Hold: DATA HOLD

When the 0000000 button is pressed, the value indicated will be
held. (“XX” will appear on the display.) The indicated value will
not change if the measurement input fluctuates.
When this button is pressed again, the hold status will be
canceled and the meter will return to the measurement mode.
(“XX” will disappear from the display.)

Remarks:
• The DATA HOLD button does not work with the Hz function.

4-4 Backlight:
When the (XX) button is held pressed for 2 seconds or longer, the
backlight will be turned on. To turn it off, hold this button pressed
for 2 seconds or longer again.
Remarks:
• Because the (XX) button serves as the XXXXXX button also, when
the backlight is turned on, the data hold mode will be set. To cancel
the data hold mode, press this button momentarily (less than 2
seconds) again.

— 6 —
4-5 Range Hold: RANGE HOLD
When the XXXXXXX button is pressed, the meter will be set in the
manual mode and the range will be fixed. (“XXXXXX” will disappear
from the display.) In the manual mode, each time this button is
pressed, the range changes. While checking the unit and decimal
point on the display, select the best range.
To return to the auto range, hold this button pressed for 1 second
or longer. (“XXXXXX” will appear on the display.)
Remarks:
• The RANGE HOLD button does not work with the (000), (00), (00)
and (00) functions.

4-6 Relative Measurement:

When the XXXXXX button is pressed, XX and XX will light and the
input value when the button was pressed will become 0 as the
reference. To cancel it, press the button again.
Example: Display after pressing the button at DC 30.00 V input
Actual Input Value Value in Display
DC 30.00 V DC 00.00 V
DC 35.00 V DC 05.00 V
DC 25.00 V DC – 05.00 V
Remarks:
• This mode cannot be used with the Hz function. When a function other
than (XX) is used, the range is fixed during relative measurement.

4-7 Auto Power Save

The tester enters “power save mode” automatically if it has been
operated for about 30 minutes. Please note, a small electric current from
power supply is present in Auto Power Save mode. Be sure to set the
power / function switch to “OFF” after measurement.
To cancel Auto Power Save function, turn the power / function switch
from OFF position to any desired function while holding the ELECT
button pressed.

4-8 Battery Low Warning Indication

When the built-in batteries have been discharged and the voltage has
dropped to below about 2.4 V, “XXX” mark will appear in the display.
When this mark flickers or lights, replace both two batteries with new
ones.
— 7 —
4-9 AC Detection Method
This meter employs the root-mean-square value method and
indicates the magnitude of AC as the same amount of work as DC.
Root-mean-square values of sinusoidal waves and such non-
sinusoidal waves as square waves and chopping waves can be
measured by the true RMS (Root Mean Square) circuit.

4-10 Crest Factor

The CR (crest factor) indicates the peak value of a signal by dividing
it by its root-mean-square value. With most common waveforms
such as sinusoidal wave and chopping wave, the crest factor is
relatively low. With waveforms similar to low duty cycle pulse trains,
the crest factor is high. For the voltages and crest factors for typical
waveforms, see the table below.
Please measure the crest factor by 3 or less.

[5] MEASURING PROCEDURE
WARNING
1. Do not apply an input signal exceeding the maximum rated
input of each function.
2. During measurement, do not change the function switch.
3. During measurement, do not touch the test pin side of the
flange of the test lead.
4. When measurement has been finished, remove the test pins from the
object measured and return the function switch to the 000 position.

5-1 Start-up Inspection

CAUTION
1. Be sure that the battery low warning mark is not flickering or lit, when
the meter is turned on. If it is flickering or lit, replace the batteries with
new ones.
2. Do not use the meter if the meter or test lead is damaged or broken.
3. Make sure the test leads are not cut and the fuse has not blown.

Always conduct the start-up inspection to ensure safety. (Inspection

will flow during measurement.
Never use the meter for
measuring circuits or devices
having a small current capacity.

Remarks:
• Input sensitivity: 3 Vrms or over
• Zero cross (+ potential – potential + potential) frequencies
can be measured. Frequencies of + potential only or – potential
only such as logic pulses cannot be measured.
• Frequencies less than 1 Hz cannot be measured.
• When the Hz function is used, the data hold and relative function
cannot be used.

5-5 Capacitance Measurement (000)

WARNING
Never apply a voltage to the measuring terminals.

CAUTION
1. Remove electric charge in the capacitor prior to measurement.
2. Because this meter applies a current to the capacitor to measure,
it is not suitable for measurement of electrolytic capacitors having
a large leak current as a large error will occur.
3. For capacitors having large capacitance, measurement takes a
longer time.

Frequency
Range Accuracy Remarks
5.000 Hz • Auto range only
• The data hold and relative functions cannot be
50.00 Hz used.
• Sensitivity: 3 Vrms or over.
• Frequency less than 1 Hz cannot be measured.
500.0 Hz • Input resistance ≧ Approx. 2 k
±(0.3 %rdg+3dgt) • Because the input resistance is as low as approx.
5.000 kHz 2 k , a large amount of current will flow during
measurement. Never use the meter for measuring
50.00 kHz circuits or devices having a small current capacity.
Never use the meter for measuring frequencies to
100.0 kHz ground as the earth leakage breaker may trip.

* As the measurement of high current of 10 A or more is accompanied with

heat generation, the continuous measurement time is limited to 5 minutes.
Also reserve an interval of 5 minutes or more between measurements.

* Accurate measurement may not be possible in places near a
transformer, large-current line, etc. where a strong magnetic field is
present or near radio equipment, etc. that generates a strong
electric field.

Accuracy calculation
Example: DCV function
True value: 100 mV
Range accuracy: 400 mV range ... ±(0.5 %rdg+2dgt)
Error: ± (100.0 mV x 0.5 % + 2dgt) = ±0.7 mV
Indicated value: 100.0 mV ± 0.7 mV (in a range of 99.3 mV
and 100.7 mV)
