Quick Start TRUE RMS AUTO OFF 03 TYPE K COM Safety Information Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential, while taking measurements. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any approved insulating material. Disconnect the test leads before opening the case. Inspect the test leads for damage to the insulation or exposed wire. Replace if suspect. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes while taking measurements. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect the“RED”lead first, then the common“BLACK” lead. Use one handed testing when possible. Work with others. Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Do not measure resistance (ohms) when circuit is powered. Isolate load by disconnecting from circuit. Disconnect the meter from circuit before turning any inductor off, including motors, transformers, and solenoids. High voltage transients can damage the meter beyond repair. 06 Specifications Display: 4000 count Do not use during electrical storms. Do not apply more than rated voltages between input and ground. Isolate capacitors from system and discharge them safely before testing. Temperature switch prevents leaving thermocouple plugged in while measuring voltage. When measuring high frequency AC current, do not exceed the rated 400AAC of the clamp. Failure to adhere may cause the clamp to heat up dangerously. All voltage tests: All voltage ranges will withstand up to 600V. Do not apply more than 600VDC or AC rms. Symbols used: Caution, risk of electric shock ! Caution, refer to manual.

Included test leads are gold-plated and have removeable safety caps. WARNINGS ! DISCONNECT AND UNPLUG TEST LEADS before opening case. TEST NCV FUNCTION ON KNOWN LIVE WIRE before using. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE greater than 30VAC or 60VDC to the thermocouple or the jacks when the rotary dial is on °F°C. (Use only Type K thermocouples) DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO THE JACKS when the rotary dial is on microamps. Even low voltages can cause a current overload and potentially harm the meter. 04 TEMP COM CAT III 600V Plug 30V any Type K thermocouple directly into the meter to measure MAX temperature. Cold junction is located inside the meter and allows for TEMP CAT III extremely accurate measurements even in rapidly changing ambient 600V temperatures (going from rooftop to freezer).

Stir the ice with the water until temperature stays at a stable value. 5. Immerse the thermocouple probe and let it stabilize. Keep stirring water to prevent microenvironments. 6. Do not let the thermocouple come in direct contact with ice. 7. Use a small screwdriver to adjust calibration pot C below the battery as close to 32°F (0°C) as you would like.
