Extended Product Information
FAQs
How do I measure AC voltage?
Select the AC voltage function on the touchscreen (usually indicated by a 'V' with a wavy line). Place the test leads on the circuit you want to measure.
How do I measure resistance?
Select the resistance function (Ω) on the touchscreen. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measuring. Place the test leads across the component.
How do I use the data hold function?
Press the 'Hold' button on the multimeter to freeze the current reading on the screen. Press it again to release the hold.
What is the purpose of the built-in flashlight?
The flashlight provides illumination in dark or dimly lit environments, making it easier to see the circuit or components you are testing.
How do I charge the multimeter?
Use the provided USB-C charging cable and connect it to a USB power source. The device will indicate when it is charging.
What is the maximum voltage this multimeter can measure?
Refer to the specifications section of the user manual. Do not exceed the maximum voltage rating to avoid damage to the device.
What is the warranty?
Warranty information is generally found within the packaging or the included documentation. It is also usually available on the Draper Tools website.
Troubleshooting
Multimeter doesn't turn on.
Ensure the device is charged. Connect to a USB-C power source using the provided cable. If the issue persists, check the power button and consult the user manual.
Inaccurate readings.
Verify the correct measurement function is selected. Check the test leads for damage and ensure they are properly connected. If measuring AC voltage, make sure you are not measuring DC voltage and vice versa.
Continuity buzzer not working.
Ensure the device is set to the continuity setting (often indicated by a diode symbol or a symbol that looks like a speaker). Verify the circuit being tested is complete.
Display is dim or unreadable.
Charge the device. Adjust the display brightness in the settings menu. If the problem persists, the display may need to be replaced.
