OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Built-in magnetic

hanger.

For your safety...

General: Disconnect the test leads before opening

the case. Inspect the test leads for damage to the

insulation or exposed metal. Replace if suspect.

Never ground yourself when taking electrical meas-

urements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets,

fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential.

Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry

clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any approved

insulating material. When disconnecting from a cir-

cuit, disconnect the "RED" lead first, then the com-

mon lead. Work with others. Use one hand for test-

ing. Turn off power to the circuit under test before cut-

ting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Keep your

fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. Do

not measure resistance when circuit is powered. Do

not apply more than rated voltage between input and

ground.

All voltage tests: All voltage ranges will withstand

up to 600V. Do not apply more than 600VDC or

600VAC.

AC tests: Disconnect the meter from the circuit

before turning any inductor off, including motors,

transformers, and solenoids. High voltage transients

can damage the meter beyond repair. Do not use

during electrical storms.

Maintenance

Clean the exterior with clean dry cloth. Do not use

liquid.

Battery replacement: When the multimeter dis-

plays " " the battery must be replaced. Disconnect

and unplug leads, turn meter off, and remove the bat-

tery cover. Replace the battery with a NEDA type

1604 9V battery.

Limited warranty

This meter is warranted against defects in materi-

al or workmanship for one years from date of pur-

chase. Fieldpiece will replace or repair the defective

unit, at its option, subject to verification of the defect.

This warranty does not apply to defects resulting

from abuse, neglect, accident, unauthorized repair,

alteration, or unreasonable use of the instrument.

Any implied warranties arising from the sale of a

Fieldpiece product, including but not limited to

implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a

particular purpose, are limited to the above.

Fieldpiece shall not be liable for loss of use of the

instrument or other incidental or consequential dam-

ages, expenses, or economic loss, or for any claim of

such damage, expenses, or economic loss.

State laws vary. The above limitations or exclu-

sions may not apply to you.

Service

Call Fieldpiece Instruments for one-price-fix-all war-

ranty service pricing. Send check or money order for

the amount quoted. Send the meter freight prepaid to

Fieldpiece Instruments. Send proof of date and loca-

tion of purchase for in-warranty service. The meter

will be repaired or replaced, at the option of

Fieldpiece, and returned via least cost transportation.

Non-contact voltage

With the red NCV tab on the tip of the meter close

to an AC voltage, press and hold the NCV button.

The NCV LED will light and the beeper will beep. The

closer you get to AC voltage, the louder the beep.

The NCV function is sensitive enough to detect

24VAC on thermostats.

Hi voltage indicator

In any VAC/VDC range, when you touch a voltage

greater than 30V, the beeper will beep and the red Hi-

V LED will blink. BE CAREFUL!

Capacitance

For motor-start and motor-run capacitors.

Disconnect the capacitor from power first. Short the

terminals to discharge the capacitors. Disconnect

any resistors that might be between the terminals of

the capacitor.

MIN/MAX and data HOLD

Press MIN/MAX once to begin recording MIN and

MAX. Press MIN/MAX to select current reading’s MIN

or MAX. Hold down for 2 seconds to exit MIN/MAX

function. Press HOLD to hold data.

Temperature (HS33)

Plug any K-type thermocouple directly into the

meter to measure temperature. Temperature meas-

urement will be accurate even in fast changing envi-

ronments because of excellent temperature compen-

sation. One thermocouple is included. No adapter is

required.

Attach to Fieldpiece accessory head

Connect your Fieldpiece accessory head directly

to the top of HS series and switch to range indicated

by head.

Field

F calibration (HS33)

For accuracies of ±°F, calibrate the HS33 to a

known temperature. A glass of stabilized ice water is

very close to 32°F (0°C) and is usually very conven-

ient but any known temperature can be used.

1. Select the 200°F range.

2. Remove back case and hold the battery in place

with a rubber band so terminals are touching.

3. Stabilize a large cup of ice water.

4. Immerse the thermocouple probe and let it stabi-

lize.

5. Adjust VR3 (below battery) to get close to 32°F

(0°C) then adjust VR1 (right of battery) to get

within 0.1°F (0.1°C) of 32.0°F (0.0°C).

6. To calibrate in °C, close the jumper that is just

below VR1.

Easily detect the live wire

The non-contact voltage feature

can be used in conjuction with one

probe tip to find which wire is live.

With meter set to OFF, place

probe tip in red plug as shown

below. Hold down NCV while

touching each wire, a notica-

bly louder buzz will sound

when you’ve touched a live

wire.

Symbols used:

Caution, risk of electric shock

Caution, refer to manual.

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 OF.

REMOVE

THE THERMOCOUPLE when tak-

ing voltage measurements.

DISCONNECT

THE TEST LEADS when taking

temperature measurements.

DO NOT

APPLY VOLTAGE TO THE JACKS

when the rotary dial is on microamps. Even low

voltages can cause a current overload and blow

the fuse. Replace blown fuse to regain function.
