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, 2∼5dgt 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 "Ω" position.

(Then, "AUTO" and "MΩ" 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

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 120Ω.

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 "Ω" 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.

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, Ω and Capacitance measurement

(Above two keys act as REL△ key.)
Indicate the difference between measured values.
When any function ("DCV", "Ω" 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.

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

10. Maintenance

Use a cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent for
cleaning the instrument. Do not use abrasives or
solvents.
