AC Voltage (V~)#61-310Digital MultimeterInstruction ManualHMAXCAT IIIMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONRead and understand all of the instructions andsafety information in these operating instructionsbefore using this meter. Use the meter only asspecified in this manual; otherwise, the protectionprovided by the meter may be impaired.A WARNING statement identifies hazardousconditions and actions that could cause bodilyharm or death.WARNINGSTo avoid possible electric shock, personal injury ordeath follow these guidelines:• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visuallyinspect the meter to ensure case is not crackedand back case is securely in place.• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is dam-aged, metal is exposed, or probes are cracked.• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally asprotection maybe impaired.• Do not use during electrical storms or in wetweather.• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to themeter.• Do not use without the battery and the back caseproperly installed.• Remove the test leads from the meter beforeremoving battery cap.• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has nouser-serviceable parts.• Disconnect power and discharge capacitorsbefore testing resistance, continuity, diodes,capacitance or temperature.• Replace battery if erratic operation occurs.• Use the proper terminals, function and range foryour measurements.To protect yourself, think "Safety First":• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose ashock hazard so use caution.• Use appropriate personal protective equipmentsuch as safety glasses, face shields, insulatinggloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.• Before each use:- Perform a continuity test by touching thetest leads together to verify the functionalityof the battery and test leads.- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verifymeter operation by measuring a knownvoltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit undertest. (3) Return to the known live voltageagain to ensure proper operation.• Never ground yourself when taking electricalmeasurements.• Connect the black common lead to groundbefore applying the red test lead to voltage.Disconnect the red test lead from the voltagefirst.• Always work with a partner.• When using the probes, keep fingers as farbehind the probe tips as possible.Ranges & Accuracies:AC Converter: This model is averagingsensing, rms calibrated.Accuracy: Accuracy is specified as +/-(apercentage of the reading + a fixed amount) at23°C±5°C (73.4°F ± 9°F), less than 75% relativehumidity.Temperature Coefficient: 0.1 times theapplicable accuracy specification from 32°F to64°F and 82°F to 122°F (0°C to 18°C ; 28°C to50°C).~SymbolsRisk of electric shockSee instruction cardDC measurementEquipment protected by double orreinforced insulationBatteryEarthAC measurementConforms to EU directivesDC Voltage (V )Ranges & AccuraciesFunction Range & Resolution Accuracy Overload ProtectionDC Voltage 200.0m/2.000/20.00/200.0 V ±(0.5%+2)600.0V ±(0.8%+2)AC Voltage 200.0/600 V ±(1.2%+10)600V DC/AC rms.(40~400Hz)DC Current 200.0mA ±(1.5%+2) 250mA/250V Fast Fuse10.00A ±(3.0%+5) Unfused (15 sec. max.)200.0 Ω ±(0.8%+4)Resistance 2.000/20.00/200.0 kΩ ±(0.8%+2) 250V DC/AC rms.20.00MΩ ±(3.0%+3)Diode Check Test current : 1mA and then open circuit voltage is 2.8VDC typical. 250V DC/AC rms.Continuity The buzzer sounds with less than 30Ω.Temperature*-4~1382°F ±(2.5%+19) @ -4~59°F ; ±(1.0%+9) @ 60~750°F±(2.5%+19) @ 751~1382°F —-20~750°C ±(2.5%+10) @ -20~16°C ; ±(1.0%+5) @ 17~400°C±(2.5%+10) @ 401~750°CBattery Test Test current: 1.5V/120mA ; 9V/9mA approx. —*Accuracy is stated for meter only.
