Accuracy specification: ± ([…% of reading] + [… number of least significant digits]) at
18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F) at less than 80% RH
True RMS accuracy for ACV and ACA are specified from 5% to
100% of range. Add 1% of reading for crest factor between 1.4
and 3 at full scale, or less than 6 at half scale.

6.0 Battery and Fuse Replacement:
WARNING
To prevent electrical hazard or shock, turn multimeter off and disconnect test leads before removing back cover.
6.1 Opening the Instrument Case
When the low battery indicator
shows in the display or when a
fuse blows due to an overload
condition, the case must be
opened to replace the battery
or fuse(s).
Set the Function Selector
switch to the OFF position.
Turn the unit over and remove
the five screws from the back
as shown in Figure 1.
Turn the unit face up and
carefully separate the case
halves as shown in Figure 2.
6.2 Battery Replacement
This instrument uses a single 9V, NEDA 1604 or IEC6F22 or JIS006P battery. When
installing a new battery, be careful to route the battery leads through the slot in the
battery enclosure. Failure to do so could result in damage to the leads upon replacement
of the top half of the instrument case.
6.3 Fuse Replacement
WARNING
To avoid damage to the instrument or potential electrical hazard or shock, replace fuses with exact
replacements. Do not use higher rated fuses in either location.
Remove and replace the defective fuse with an exact replacement.
Fuse ratings are as follows:
Fuse 1: F0.5A/600V 10

³

× 38mm Fast Blow
Fuse 2:F15A/600V 10

³

× 38mm Fast Blow
6.4 Closin g the Instrument Case
Ensure the Function Selector switch has not been rotated from the position when it was
removed. Check to be certain that the battery leads are safely routed through the slot
provided for this purpose. Replace the top half of the instrument case, turn the
instrument over, and replace the five screws in the back.
Note: Do not over tighten screws. Excessive tightening could strip the threads in the
plastic case.
