Overview
This Operating Manual covers information on safety and
cautions. Please read the relevant information carefully
and observe all the Warnings and Notes strictly.
Warning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the
"Safety Information" and "Rules for Safe Operation"
carefully before using the Meter.
Digital Multimeter Model UT60A (hereafter referred to
as "the Meter") has autorange and manual range options
with maximum reading 3999. The enclosure structure
design adopted advanced "co-injection" technique in
order to provide sufficient insulation.
In addition to the conventional measuring functions, it
is equipped with a RS232C standard serial port for easy
connection with computer to realize macro recording and
monitoring and capture of transient dynamic data,
displaying change of waveform during the measurement,
providing data and evidence to engineering technicians
for scientific research. This is also a highly applied digital
multimeter of good performance with full overload
protection.
Unpacking Inspection
Open the package case and take out the Meter. Check
the following items carefully to see any missing or
damaged part:

Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: in
pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 1000V,
CAT. IV 600V) and double insulation.
CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller
transient overvoltages than CAT. IV
CAT IV:Primary supply level, overhead lines, cable
systems etc.
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be
impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and
actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage
the Meter or the equipment under test.
A Note identifies the information that user should pay
attention on.
International electrical symbols used on the Meter and
in this Operating Manual are explained on page 8.

If the range is too low for the input, the Meter displays
to indicate an overload.
If the range is too high, the Meter will not display
the most accurate measurement.

Press RANGE.
The Meter enters the manual range mode and
turns off.
Each presses of RANGE increments the range.
When the highest range is reached, the Meter wraps
to the lowest range.
To exit the manual range mode, press and hold
RANGE for over 2 seconds.
The Meter returns to the autorange mode and
is displayed.
Note
l If you manually change the measurement range
after entering the REL or Hold modes, the Meter
exits these modes.
l Under frequency/duty cycle and capacitance
measurement, only autorange mode is available.

Note
l The test leads can add 0.1 to 0.2 of error to
resistance measurement. To obtain precision
readings in low-resistance measurement, that is the
range of 400.0 , short-circuit the input terminals
beforehand, using the relative value function button
REL to automatically subtract the value measured
when the testing leads are short-circuited from the
reading.
l For high-resistance measurement (>1M ), it is
normal taking several seconds to obtain a stable
reading.
l If reading with shorted test leads is not 0.5 ,
check for loose test leads, incorrect function selection,
or enabled Data Hold function.
l The LCD displays
indicating open-circuit for the
tested resistor or the resistor value is higher than
the maximum range of the Meter.
l When resistance measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing leads
and the circuit under test.

Note
l For testing the capacitor with polarity, connect the
red test lead to anode & black test lead to cathode
instead.
l To increase the accuracy of capacitance
measurement especially when measuring under
400nF, use REL mode to automatically subtract the
Meter built-in equalized capacitance and residual
capacitance of test leads from the result.
l It takes a longer time when testing a high capacitor
value, the testing time is around 15 seconds in
100F range.
l When capacitance measurement has been
completed, disconnect the connection between the
testing leads and the circuit under test.

Set the rotary switch to Hz%; frequency
measurement (Hz) is default or press Hz% button
to select Hz measurement mode.
Connect the test leads across with the object being
measured.
The measured value shows on the display.
Note
l To obtain a stable reading when measuring:
Input scope > 30V rms & 1 kHz frequency signal:
Set the rotary switch to Hz V, A Hz,
mA Hz or Hz A.
Then press Hz% to select Hz measurement
mode to obtain frequency value.
Input scope 30V rms frequency signal:
Follow the above step 2 carrying out the
measurement.

Warning
Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement
where the open-circuit voltage between the circuit
and ground is greater than 250V.
If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter
may be damaged or the operator himself may be
hurt. Use proper terminals, function, and range for
the measurement. When the testing leads are
connected to the current terminals, do not parallel
them across any circuit.
The current measurement has 3 measurement positions
on the rotary switch: A Hz, mA Hz and Hz A.
The A Hz has a 400.0A and 4000A range, with
auto ranging; the mA Hz has a 40.00mA and 400.0mA
range, with auto ranging; Hz A position has a 4.000A
and 10.00A range, with auto ranging.
To measure current, do the following:
1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all highvoltage capacitors.
2. Insert the red test lead into the AmA or 10A or
terminal and the black test lead into the COM
terminal.
3. Set the rotary switch to A Hz, mA Hz or Hz A.
Use the 10A terminal and Hz A measurement
position if the current value to be tested is an
unknown.

Note
l For safety sake, the measuring time for high current
should be 10 seconds for each measurement and
the interval time between 2 measurements should
be greater than 15 minutes.
l When current measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing leads
and the circuit under test.
