WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions
when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose
a potential shock hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being
tested while power is applied to the circuit being measured. Keep your fingers behind
the finger guards of the test leads during measurement. Inspect test leads, connectors,
and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the instrument. If
any defects are found, replace them immediately. Do not measure any current that
exceeds the current rating of the protection fuse. Do not attempt a current
measurement to any circuit where the open circuit voltage is above the protection fuse
voltage rating. Suspected open circuit voltage should be checked with voltage
functions. Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead inserted into the
μA/mA or A input jack. Only replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as specified
in this manual.

CAUTION
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing functions. Always set
the instrument to the highest range and work downward for an unknown value when
using manual ranging mode.

Average sensing RMS calibrated

RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC
value of an AC signal. Most digital multimeters use average sensing RMS calibrated
technique to measure RMS values of AC signals. This technique is to obtain the
average value by rectifying and filtering the AC signal. The average value is then
scaled upward (calibrated) to read the RMS value of a sine wave. In measuring pure
 5
sinusoidal waveform, this technique is fast, accurate, and cost effective. In measuring
non-sinusoidal waveforms, however, significant errors can be introduced because of
different scaling factors relating average to RMS values.

AC True RMS
AC True RMS, normally refers as True RMS, identifies a DMM function that is AC
coupled, and responds accurately only to the effective RMS AC component value
regardless of the waveforms. However, DC component plays an important role in the
distorted non-symmetrical waveforms, and will also be of interest sometimes. A full
wave rectified sine waveform is a good example, and the AC true RMS function will
only give the AC component reading which is at 43.6% of the total effective DC+AC
RMS reading.

DC+AC True RMS

DC+AC True RMS calculates both of the AC and DC components given by the
expression when making measurement, and can responds
accurately to the total effective RMS value regardless of the waveform. Distorted
waveforms with the presence of DC components and harmonics may cause:
1) Overheated transformers, generators and motors to burn out faster than normal
2) Circuit breakers to trip prematurely
3) Fuses to blow
4) Neutrals to overheat due to the triplen harmonics present on the neutral
5) Bus bars and electrical panels to vibrate

AC Bandwidth
AC bandwidth of a DMM is the range of frequencies over which AC measurements can
be made within the specified accuracy. It is not the frequency measurement function,
and is the frequency response of the AC functions. A DMM cannot accurately measure
the AC value with frequency spectrums beyond the AC bandwidth of the DMM.
Therefore, wide AC bandwidth plays an important role in high performance DMMs. In
reality, complex waveforms, noise and distorted waveforms contain much higher
frequency spectrum than its fundamental.

NMRR (Normal Mode Rejection Ratio)

NMRR is the DMM's ability to reject unwanted AC noise effect that can cause
inaccurate DC measurements. NMRR is typically specified in terms of dB (decibel).
This series has a NMRR specification of > 60dB at 50 and 60Hz, which is a good and
definite ability to reject the effect of AC noise when making DC measurements.
 6
CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio)
Common mode voltage is voltage present on both the COM and VOLTAGE input
terminals of a DMM, with respect to ground. CMRR is the DMM's ability to reject
common mode voltage effect that can cause digit rolling or offset in voltage
measurements. This series has a CMRR specifications of > 80dB at DC to 60Hz in
ACV function; and > 120dB at DC, 50 and 60Hz in DCV function. If neither NMRR nor
CMRR specification is specified, a DMM's performance will be uncertain.

Analog bar-graph
The analog bar graph provides a visual indication of measurement like a traditional
analog meter needle. It is excellent in detecting faulty contacts, identifying
potentiometer clicks, and indicating signal spikes during adjustments. Analog bar-graph
is not available in AC+DC True RMS Voltage & Current modes.

4) OPERATION
CAUTION
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.

AC Voltage, DC Voltage, DC+AC Voltage, & Hz Line Level Frequency

In AC Voltage, press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between AC and dBm. In
DC Voltage, press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between DC, and DC+AC. In
mV Voltage, press SELECT button momentarily to select DC, AC, or DC+AC. The new
settings will be saved automatically to the non-volatile memory as power up default. In
DCV and DCmV, press 500000 button momentarily to toggle between 4-4/5 digits and
5-4/5 digits readings. In voltage or current functions, press the Hz push button
momentarily to activate or to exit Line Level Frequency measuring function. Line Level
Frequency measuring function is designed especially for noisy electrical high voltage
signals.

Note: In dBm function, power up default reference impedance will be displayed for 1
second before displaying the dBm readings. Press dBm-Ω (RANGE) button
momentary to select different reference impedance of 4, 8, 16, 32, 50, 75, 93, 110,

Note: Line Level Frequency measuring function input sensitivity varies automatically
with voltage (or current) function range selected. The lower the measuring range the
higher the sensitivity. That is, mV function has the highest and the 1000V range has
the lowest as in voltage function ranges. It is recommended to first measure the signal
voltage (or current) level then activate the Hz function in that voltage (or current) range
to automatically get the most appropriate trigger level. When activated from voltage
function, you can also press the RANGE button momentarily to select another trigger
level range manually. The analog bargraph pointer will point at the selected trigger
level range scale 1, 2, 3, or 4. If the Hz reading is unstable, select lower sensitivity to
avoid electrical noise. If the reading shows zero, select higher sensitivity.
 8
Hz Logic Level Frequency and % Duty Cycle functions
Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between Hz and % (duty cycle) readings.
The new setting will be saved automatically to the non-volatile memory as power up
default. Press 500000 button momentarily to toggle between 5 full digits and 6 full digits
Hz readings.

 10
CAUTION
Using resistance or continuity function in a live circuit will produce false results and
may damage the meter. In many cases the suspected component must be
disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate reading.

Capacitance, Diode test function

Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between Capacitance and
Diode test functions. The new setting will be saved automatically to the non-volatile
memory as power up default.

CAUTION
Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should
be discharged through an appropriate resistance load.

A A A

Note: Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between
0.400V to 0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero
reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). An OL indicates an open diode
(defective). Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The
digital display shows OL if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is
resistive or shorted (defective).
 11
μA, mA, A, and %4-20mA Current functions
Insert the red test lead into the correct μA/mA or A input jack. Press SELECT button
momentarily to select DC, AC, or DC+AC. The new settings will be saved automatically
to the non-volatile memory as power up default. In DC mA function, neither in AC nor in
DC+AC, press and hold the %4-20mA ( Hz) button for 1 second or more to display
the current digital data in terms of loop current percentage (%) value. It is set at 4mA =
0% (zero) and 20mA = 100% (span) with 0.01% high resolution, which virtually extends
the meters’ capability to test and regulate the externally powered loop current in the
industrial process control applications. The analog bar-graph remains showing the mA
current value to alert the user.

A mA %4-20mA

A A A

Warning: When measuring a 3-phase system, special attention should be taken to the
phase-to-phase voltage that is significantly higher than the phase-to-earth voltage. To
avoid exceeding the voltage rating of the protection fuse(s) accidentally, always
consider the phase-to-phase voltage as the working voltage for the protection fuse(s).
 12
PC-COMM computer interface capabilities
The instrument equips with an optical isolated interface port at the meter back for data
communication. The optional PC interface kit is required to connect the meter to the PC

5) MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads
from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate
with open case. Install only the same type of fuse or equivalent

Calibration
Periodic calibration at intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter
accuracy. Accuracy is specified for a period of one year after calibration.

If self-diagnostic message “rE-O” is being displayed while powering on, the meter is
re-organizing internal parameters. Do not switch off the meter then, and it will be back
to normal measurement shortly. However, if self-diagnostic message “C_Er” is being
displayed while powering on, some meter ranges might be largely out of specifications.
To avoid mis-leading measurements, stop using the meter and send it for re-calibration.
Refer to the WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repair service.

Trouble Shooting
If the instrument fails to operate, check battery, fuses, leads, etc., and replace as
necessary. Double check operating procedure as described in this user’s manual. If the
instrument voltage-resistance input terminal is subjected to a high voltage transient
(caused by lightning or switching surge to the system) by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will blow (become high impedance)
like a fuse to protect the user and the instrument. Most measuring functions using this
terminal will then be open circuit. The series fusible resistors and the spark gaps
should then be replaced by qualified technician. Refer to the WARRANTY section for
obtaining warranty or repairing service.

Cleaning and Storage

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives
or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove
the battery and store it separately.
