FAQs
What is True RMS?
True RMS (Root Mean Square) allows for accurate measurement of AC voltage and current, especially with non-sinusoidal waveforms.
How do I measure voltage?
Connect the black (COM) lead to the COM jack and the red lead to the VΩmA jack. Set the dial to the appropriate ACV or DCV range. Place the test probes across the circuit or component you want to measure.
How do I measure resistance?
Disconnect power from the circuit. Connect the black (COM) lead to the COM jack and the red lead to the VΩmA jack. Set the dial to the Ω (Ohms) range. Place the test probes across the component.
What does the Data Hold function do?
The Data Hold function freezes the current reading on the display, allowing you to easily view it after removing the probes or in a hard-to-reach area.
What type of fuse does this multimeter use?
It uses double ceramic fuses for overload protection: F400mA/600V and F10A/600V.
Where can I get help if I have questions?
Our California-based support team is available to assist with any questions within 24 hours. Contact information can be found in the included manual or on the product packaging.
Troubleshooting
