    Safety InformationThis Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: inpollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 600V,CAT IV 300V) and double insulation.

    CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltages than CAT. IVCAT.IV: Primary supply level, overhead lines, cablesystems etc.

    Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may beimpaired.

    In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions andactions that pose hazards to the user, or may damagethe Meter or the equipment under test.

    A Note identifies the information that user should payattention to.

    Rules For Safe Operation

    Warning

    To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to theequipment under test, adhere to the following rules:

    Before using the Meter inspect the case. Donot use the Meter if it is damaged or the case(or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracksor missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulationaround the connectors.Inspect the test leads for damaged insulationor exposed metal. Replace damaged test leadswith identical model number or electricalspecifications before using the Meter.Do not apply more that the rated voltage, asmarked on the Meter.When measurement has been completed,disconnect the connection between the testleads and the circuit under test, remove the

    testing leads away from the input terminals of the Meter and turn the Meter power off.Do not carry out the measurement when theMeters back case and / or battery door is openedto avoid electric shock.When the Meter working at an effective voltageover 30V in AC, special care should be taken.Use the proper terminals and function for your measurements.Do not use or store the Meter in an environmentof high temperature, humidity, explosive,inflammable and strong magnetic field. Theperformance of the Meter may deteriorate after dampened.Do not use the Meter if the surface of it is wetor the users hands are wet.When using the test leads, keep your fingersbehind the finger guards.Replace the battery as soon as the batteryindicator appears. With a low battery, theMeter might produce false readings that canlead to electric shock and personal injury.

    5. MAX/ and MIN/ are not valid when measuring active energy.6. Press CLEAR to reset the time.

    Note

    When there is no input signal, it cannot carry outactive energy measurement.When there is input signal, the maximum waitingtime is around 10s before timing.When testing has been completed, disconnect theconnection between the testing leads and the circuitunder test and remove testing leads from the inputterminals.

    True RMS Measurement and Average ValueMeasurement

    The True RMS measurement method can measureaccurately the effective value of non-sine wave inputsignal.

    Average value measurement method can measure themean value of one sine wave input signal, and thendisplays it as RMS value

    When the input waveform has distortion, measuringtolerance will be included. The total tolerance dependson the total distortion. Below table 1 shows the waveformcoefficient and the relationship and the requestedchanging factor of sine wave, square wave, pulserectangle wave, sawtooth triangle wave, RMS valueand average value.

    B. Replacing the Battery (see figure 24)To avoid false readings, which could lead to possibleelectric shock or personal injury, replace the batteryas soon as the battery indicator appears.

    Make sure the transformer jaw and the tests leadsare disconected from the circuit being tested beforeopening the case bottom.
