How to use

Switch the meter on and set the rotary selector to the required measurement mode (voltage, current or resistance). Connect the test leads to the appropriate input terminals and place the probes on the circuit points to be measured, observing correct polarity for DC measurements. Read the measurement value on the digital display and, after completing the measurement, turn the selector to the off position and disconnect the test leads. Follow basic safety precautions such as ensuring the meter is set to a higher range when unsure of expected values and avoiding measurement on live circuits beyond the meter's rated limits.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW17545 for routine diagnostics and non-specialized measurement tasks. Verify probe connections and battery condition before critical measurements, and avoid exposing the meter to excessive moisture or mechanical shock. For measurements near the upper limits of the meter's ranges, consider using appropriate protective equipment and, where necessary, a higher-rated instrument.
