6.8 Continuity Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the
V .
. CAP . TEMP . Hz% . Ω positive terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the Ω .
. •))) position.
3. Use the MODE button to select continuity "•)))". The display icons will change when
the MODE button is pressed.
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test.
5. If the resistance is < 50Ω, a tone will sound.
6.9 Diode Test
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the V .
. CAP . TEMP . Hz% . Ω positive jack
2. Turn the function switch to Ω .
. •))) position. Use the MODE button to select the
diode function if necessary (diode symbol will appear on the LCD when in Diode test
mode)
3. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction under test. Note the
meter reading
4. Reverse the test lead polarity by reversing the red and black leads. Note this reading.
5. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
• If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 0.900V) and the other reading
displays OL, the diode is good.
• If both readings display OL the device is open.
• If both readings are very small or '0', the device is shorted.
6.10 Non-Contact AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a
known live circuit to verify proper operation
1. Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
2. If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.
1. NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, rub the
probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity to the
live conductor.
2. NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources
of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation.

6.10.1 Mode/Bluetooth
Press Mode/Bluetooth key the selection of double measured functions which are present
at display is possible. In particular this key is active in V .
to select among resistance test, diode test, continuity test, and in Temp position to
o
select between
F or
measurements.
To press and hold the mode key to turn the system on, the auto power off function will be
cancelled.
Press the Mode/Bluetooth until the Bluetooth turns on or off.
6.10.2 Peak/ Inrush
NOTE: Only ACV functions can do the peak value measurement.
1. PEAK Key is the peak value measurement key that acts with trigger.
2. In ACV functions , Press PEAK/INRUSH key to activate the detection of Maximum
and Minimum peak values o AC Voltage with a response time of 1ms. Both values are
constantly updated and are displayed cyclically every time the same key is pressed
again.
3. The display shows the symbol associated with the selected function: " PMAX" for
maximum peak value, " PMIN" for minimum peak value.
NOTE: Only ACA functions can do the INRUSH value measurement.
1. Close motor and then install Jaw.
2. Press the PEAK/INRUSH button , "----"will appear in the display.
3. Open motor and then read the value on the display.
6.10.3 Data Hold/Backlight
To freeze the LCD reading, press the HOLD button. While data hold is active, the HOLD
icon appears on the LCD. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal operation.
The LCD is equipped with backlighting for easier viewing, especially in dimly lit areas.
Press the backlight button to turn the backlight on. Press again to turn the backlight off.
Note : that the meter does have an auto power off feature as described below.
