Mastercraft Digital Multimeter TR H JANUAL 52-0060-2 WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING YOUR MULTIMETER. FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND AND COMPLY WITH WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. MASTERCRAFT CANADA TORONTO, CANADA M4S 2B8 [Ma ThHPepaoeDIGITAL MULTIMETER _- » Before operating your multimeter, become familiar with each control. A clear understanding of how your multimeter works will help to avoid mistakes and minimize measurement errors, instrument damage and the possibility of injury. The following section, in conjunction with Fig.1, will describe the proper functions of your multimeter. 1. Function/Range switch This rotary control is located ‘in the centre of your multimeter, and is used to select the function, as well as the desired range. Your Digital Multimeter also comes equipped with an “OFF” position, which should be engaged at all times when the multimeter is not in use; this will help to extend the life of your battery. 2. Display 3-1/2 digit, 7-segment, 16 mm figure high LCD. 3. Common Jack Plug-in connection for black (negative) test lead. 4. “VIG? Jack Plug-in connection for red (positive) test lead for ail voltage and resistance measurements. 5. 10 A” Jack (use for 10 seconds only) Plug-in connection for red (positive) test lead for DC 10 A measurements.Specifications: General Display: 3-1/2 digit LCD. 16 mm figure height with automatic polarity.

Equipped with 5 functions and 9 ranges, each test position is easily selected by tuming the Function/Range rotary switch. WARNINGS: 1. To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to your multimeter, do not measure voltage that exceeds 500 AC V above earth ground. 2. Before-using your multimeter inspect test leads, connectors and prods for cracks or breaks. DC Voltage Measurement (DC V) 1. Connect the red (positive) test lead to the “VQmA" jack and the biack (negative) test lead to the “COM” jack. 2. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired DC V position. !f the magnitude of value is unknown, set the Function/Range switch to the highest range and reduce until desired reading is obtained. 3. Touch the test prods to the circuit or device being measured, and read the voltage value, along with the voltage polarity on the LCD display. DC Current Measurement (DC A) 1. Connect the red (positive) test lead to the “VOQmA" jack. For measurements as high as 200 mA, connect the black (negative) test (ead into the "COM" jack NOTE: For measurements between 200 mA and 10 A. connect the red (positive) test tead to the “10 A” jack for 10 seconds only. 2. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired DC A position. 3. Open the circuit to be measured, and touch the test prods IN SERIES with the load in which the current is to be measured, and read the current vaiue on LCD display. Signal Injection Function This function allows the injection of a square wave about 2V peak ata frequency of 30 to 40 HZ into an audio device such as amplifier to test if the product is functioning. 1. Set the function switch to +L- 2. Touch the black test probe tip to the circuit ground. 3. Touch the red test probe tip to the point in the circuit where you wish to inject the test signal. 4. A low frequency humming sound will be heard if the audio device is working. 6
