Operation cont.
Capacitance Test
WARNING:
Safely discharge capacitors
before taking capacitance measurements.
1. Set the rotary function switch to
the
position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the
COM input jack and the red test
lead into the
input jack.
3. Touch the test lead probes to the
capacitor being tested.
4. Read the capacitance value on the LCD display. Large
capacitors may take up to a minute to get a stable reading.
Frequency and Duty Cycle Measurements
WARNING:
Observe all safety precautions
when working on live voltages.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the Hz position.
2. Press the Hz % button to select Frequency (Hz) or Duty Cycle (%).
The "Hz" or "%" symbol will appear on the LCD display.
3. Insert the black test lead into the
COM input jack and the red test lead
into the Hz % input jack.
4. Touch the test lead probes to the
circuit being tested.
5. Read the frequency or duty cycle on
the LCD display.
6. When in the AC voltage or current
function, press the Hz % button once,
to select Frequency (Hz) or twice to select Duty Cycle (%).
Press the Hz% button again to return to voltage or current
readings. The measurements will be made through the test
leads when the meter is set to voltage and through the clamp
jaws when the meter is set to current. Refer to specifications
in the manual for frequency range and sensitivity.

Temperature Measurements
WARNING:
Do not touch the temperature probe to live circuits.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the °F °C position.
2. Press the MODE button to select readings in °F or °C.
3. Connect the Temperature Probe to the Banana Plug Adapter.
Note the – and + markings on the adapter. Connect the adapter
to the meter, making sure the – side goes into the COM input
jack and the + side goes into the °F °C input jack.
4. Touch the tip of the Temperature Probe to the object being
measured. Keep the probe touching the object until the
reading stabilizes (about 30 sec).
5. Read the temperature on the LCD display.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, remove the temperature
probe before changing to another measurement function.
Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector
WARNING:
Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always
test the Voltage Detector on a known live circuit to verify proper operation.
1. The non-contact voltage detector operates when
the meter is set to any measuring function.
The detector does not operate when Auto Power Off
turns the meter off or when the rotary function switch
is set to the off
position.
2. Slowly move the detector probe closer to the conductor
being tested.
3. If AC voltage within the specified range is present, the indicator light will illuminate.
WARNING:
Insulation type and thickness, and distance from the voltage source
and other factors may effect operation. Use other methods to verify live voltage if there
is any uncertainty.
NOTES :
The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity and other sources of
electrical energy may randomly activate the detector. This is normal operation.
The detector only activates the indicator light when AC voltage is present. It does not indicate
the voltage level on the LCD display.
