5. Preparation 5-1 Checking Battery Voltage Set the Function Selector Switch to other positions except the OFF position. Battery Voltage is enough if indication is clear and BT symbol is not indicated in this bout. If BT symbol is indicated or no indication on the display, follow to the Battery Replacement procedures shown in item9 in this document and replace with new batteries.

6. Measurements 6-1 Voltage Measurement (DCV, ACV) DANGER To avoid the danger of getting electrical shock, never make measurement on a circuit over 600V AC/DC. (electrical potential to ground 300V AC/DC) Do not operate Function Selector Switch during measurement. Do not make measurement when opening the instrument case. 6-1-1 DC Voltage Measurement (DCV) (1) Set the Function Selector Switch to " " position. (Then, "AUTO"," "and"mV" symbols are indicated on the display.) (2) Connect the black test lead to the negative side of the circuit under the test and the red test lead to the positive side of the circuit, then the measured value is indicated on the display. If you connect the test leads the other way, "-" symbol is indicated on the display. 6-1-2 AC Voltage Measurement (ACV) (1) Set the Function Selector Switch to " " position. (Then, "AUTO", " ", and "V" symbols are indicated on the display.) (2) Connect the test leads to the circuit under test. Measured value is indicated on the display. Note) Even if short-circuit the input line at the range of AC4V, 25dgt may remain indicated. 6-2 Resistance Measurement DANGER To avoid the danger of getting electrical shock, never make measurement of the circuit in which electric potential exists. Do not make measurement when opening the instrument case. (1) Set the Function Selector Switch to "" position. (Then, "AUTO" and "M" symbols are indicated on the display.) Make sure that the "OL" symbol is indicated on the display at this bout, then short the test lead tips and check "0" is indicated on the display. (2) Connect the test leads to both ends of the resistance under test. Measured value is indicated on the display. Note) Even if short the test lead tips, indicated value may not be "0". But this is because of the resistance of test leads and not a failure. 6-3 Continuity Check/ Diode Check DANGER To avoid the danger of getting electrical shock, never make measurement of the circuit in which electric potential exists. Do not make measurement when opening the instrument case. 6-3-1 Continuity Check (1) Set the Function Selector Switch to " / " position. (Then, " " and symbols are indicated on the display.) (2) Make sure that the "OL" symbol is indicated on the display at this bout, then short the test lead tips and check "0" is indicated on the display and check if the buzzer beeps.

(3) Connect the test leads to both ends of the resistance under test. Measured value is indicated on the display. The buzzer beeps below about 120. Note) Even if short the test lead tips, indicated value may not be "0". But this is because of the resistance of test leads and not a failure. 6-3-2 Diode Check (1) Set the Function Selector Switch to " / " position. (Then, " " and "" symbols are indicated on the display.) (2) Press the SELECT Key twice and set the instrument to Diode Check mode. (Then, " " and "V" symbols are indicated on the display.) Make sure that the "OL" symbol is indicated on the display at this bout, then short the test lead tips and check "0" is indicated on the display. (3) Connect the black test lead to the cathode side of the Diode and the red test lead to the anode side of the Diode. Forward voltage of Diode is indicated on the display. (4) Connect the black test lead to the anode side of the Diode and the red test lead to the cathode side of the Diode.Normally, "OL" symbol is indicated on the display. Conclusion : Diode is OK if the instrument complies with above items(3) and (4). Note) Open-circuit voltage between measuring terminals is approx.1.5V.(measuring current approx. 0.4mA) 6-4 Capacitance Measurement DANGER To avoid the danger of getting electrical shock, never make measurement of the circuit in which electric potential exists. Do not make measurement when opening the instrument case. Make sure to discharge the capacitor before making measurement. (1) Set the Function Selector Switch to " " position. (Then, "AUTO" and "nF" symbols are indicated on the display.) (2) Press the SELECT key and "0" shall be indicated. (Then, "" symbol is indicated on the display.) (3) Connect the test leads to both ends of the resistance under test. Measured value is indicated on the display. Measuring unit "nF" / "uF" is automatically chosen and indicated due to the measured value. Note) It may take some time according to the measuring capacitance. Measuring capacitance < 4uF Measuring time is about 2seconds Measuring capacitance < 40uF Measuring time is about 7seconds Measuring capacitance < 100uF Measuring time is about 15seconds

6-5 Frequency Measurement DANGER To avoid the danger of getting electrical shocks, never make measurement on a circuit over 300V AC/DC. (electrical potential to ground 300V AC/DC) Do not operate Function Selector Switch during measurement. Do not make measurement when opening the instrument case. Frequency can be measured at ACV functions by pressing "Hz/DUTY" Switch. Concerning with the direction for use of "Hz/ DUTY" Switch, please reference to the item7-1 Hz/DUTY in this document. Note) The minimum input can be measured is approx. 1.5V.

8. Auto Power Off Auto power off function operates when about 15minutes passed after power on this instrument. When Auto power off function operates and the instrument powered off, the power-off statue returns to normal by pressing any key. 9. Battery Replacement DANGER Never open the instrument case when making measurement. To avoid getting electrical shock, be sure to remove test leads from the instrument when opening the instrument case in order to replace batteries. (1) Remove the Portable holder from the instrument. (2) Loosen one screw on the bottom of the instrument and open the battery cover, then replace batteries. Battery : Two LR44(SR44)1.5V or equivalent

7. How to use Function Switches 7-1 SELECT, Hz/DUTY Key At each function, the actions of SELECT, Hz/DUTY key are different so please refer to following items and make active use of them. ACV function (Above two keys act as Hz/DUTY switch key.) Capable of selecting the Voltage, Frequency or DUTY measurement mode. At the initial condition, Voltage measurement has been selected for the ACV function. By pressing "Hz/DUTY" key, measuring mode changes. "Voltage" "Frequency" "DUTY" DCV, and Capacitance measurement (Above two keys act as REL key.) Indicate the difference between measured values. When any function ("DCV", "" and "Capacitance") selected, the measured value can be stored by pressing SELECT key and after that, the difference between stored value and measuring value is indicated on the display (mark is keep lighting on the display while a value is stored) The stored value can be released by pressing "SELECT" key again. "Release" "Memory" Continuity check /Diode check function (Change between Continuity check and Diode check) At the initial condition, "Continuity check" mode has been selected for the Continuity check / Diode check function. By pressing "SELECT" key, measuring mode changes. "Continuity check" "Diode check" The relative measurement is allowed in the following range. *Measuring range = Full scale value at a range initial value 7-2 DATA HOLD Key The measured value can be hold at all functions. By pressing "DATA HOLD" key, "DH" symbol indicated on the display and the indicated value can be held. By pressing "DATA HOLD" key again, "DH" symbol disappears from the display and held data is released.
