AC Voltage (V~)#61-340#61-342Digital MultimeterInstruction ManualRegister your product and access more information atwww.idealindustries.comRead First: Safety InformationUnderstand and follow operating instructions carefully.Use the meter, test leads and all accessories only asspecified in this manual; otherwise, the protectionprovided by the meter can be impaired.WARNINGTo avoid possible electric shock, personal injury ordeath, follow these guidelines:• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspectthe meter to ensure case and jaws are not cracked.• Inspect and replace test leads if insulation is damaged,metal is exposed, or probes are cracked. Pay particularattention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.• Always ensure the meter, test leads and all accessoriesmeet or exceed the measurement category requiredin the working environment. (i.e. CAT rating)• Note that the measurement category and voltagerating of combinations of the meter, the test leads,and the accessories is the lowest of the individualcomponents.• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally asprotection maybe impaired.• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, vapor,amperage or in damp or wet environments.• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.• Remove the test leads from the input jacks beforemeasuring current.• Replace battery as soon as battery indicatorappears to avoid false readings.• Remove the test leads from the meter prior toremoving battery cover.• Do not use without the battery and battery coverproperly installed.• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.• Use the proper terminals, functions and range foryour measurements.• Never ground yourself when taking electricalmeasurements.• Connect the black common lead to ground or neutralbefore applying the red test lead to potential voltage.Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.• Keep fingers behind the guard rings of the probe tips.• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shockhazard so use caution.CAUTIONTo protect yourself, think “Safety First”:• Comply with local and national safety codes.• Use appropriate personal protective equipment suchas face shields, insulating gloves, insulating boots,and/or insulating mats.• Before each use:- Perform a continuity test by touching the test leadstogether to verify the functionality of the batteryand test leads.- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meteroperation by measuring a known voltage. (2) Applymeter to circuit under test. (3) Return to the knownlive voltage again to ensure proper operation.• Always work with a partner.AC Converter: 61-340 model is averaging sensing, rms calibrated; 61-342 model is true rms sensing.Accuracy: Accuracy is specified as +/-(a percentage of the reading + a fixed amount) at 23°C±5°C (73.4°F ± 9°F), less than 75% relative humidity.Temperature Coefficient: 0.1 times the applicable accuracy specification from 32°F to 64°F and 82°F to 122°F (0°C to 18°C ; 28°C to 50°C).Ranges & AccuraciesTest LeadsDCDCDC Voltage (V )Toggle forFrequency(>20% ofrange)Function Range & Resolution Accuracy Overload ProtectionDC Voltage 400.0m/4.000/40.00/400.0 V ±(0.5%+5)600.0V ±(1.0%+3)AC Voltage 400.0m/4.000/40.00/400.0/600 V ±(1.5%+5)(40~400Hz)DC Current 400.0/4000 μA ; 40.00/400.0 mA ±(0.5%+5) 500mA/600V Fast Fuse4.000/10.00 A ±(1.5%+5) 10A/1000V Fast FuseAC Current 400.0/4000 μA ±(1.5%+5) 500mA/600V Fast Fuse(40~400Hz) 40.00/400.0 mA ±(2.0%+5)4.000/10.00 A ±(2.5%+5) 10A/1000V Fast Fuse400.0Ω ±(1.2%+5)Resistance 4.000k/40.00k/400.0k Ω ±(1.0%+2) 600V DC/AC rms4.000MΩ ±(1.2%+2)40.00MΩ ±(2.0%+5)40.00nF ±(3.0%+10)Capacitance* 400.0n/4.000μ/40.00μ F ±(3.0%+5) 600V DC/AC rms400.0μ/4000μ F ±(20%+5)Frequency 10.00/100.0/1.000k/10.00k/100.0k/1.000M/10.00M Hz ±(0.1%+3) 600V DC/AC rmsSensitivity: <1MHz: 0.7Vrms ; >1MHz: 5VrmsDuty Cycle 0.1 - 99.9% ±(2.5%+5) (<10kHz)Diode Check Test current : (1±0.6) mA and then open circuit voltage is 2.5VDC typical. 600V DC/AC rmsContinuity The beeper turns on <25Ω and turns off at >120Ω. 600V DC/AC rmsTemperature** -58~1500°F ±(3.0%+5) —-50~800°C ±(3.0%+3)*Accuracy not available for <10nF capacitance. **Accuracy is stated for meter only.
