Introduction
Overview
The KPS-PA440 is a portable, hand-held professional meter that measures AC/DC
voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, capacitance, diodes, continuity, frequency, duty cycle,
temperature and non-contact voltage. This meter is easy to use with one hand, suitable for
professional users or amateurs, and ideal for school or home use.
Precautions:
Users must follow standard safety instructions while using the meter:
• Once the meter is out of the package, check for any damage to the meter before using.
• Double check the meter to make sure all the components are in good condition.
• Check the test leads before operation. Check the test leads for damage to the insulation
or wires before use.
• Use the original test leads included in the package for best performance and safety. If
necessary,usecompatibleleadswithsamespecicationsastheoriginals.
• Make sure to set the meter to the correct functions and measuring range before taking
measurement.
• Do not use the meter on a circuit where the measuring range is over the capable range
speciedintheuser’smanual.
• Do not touch the tips of the test leads when performing measurement.

• Do not use the meter on a circuit if the voltage is above 600V.
• In manual mode, if the value to be measured is unknown, start the meter in the maximum
range and then adjust accordingly.
• Removetheleadsfromthecircuitrstbeforeswitchingbetweenfunctions.
• Disconnect power and discharge all capacitors before measuring resistance, capacitance,
continuity or diodes.
• Do not measure capacitance before the capacitors are discharged.
• Do not operate the meter near explosive gas, vapor or dust.
• Stop using the meter if the meter or test leads appear damaged or do not function properly.
• Do not use the meter unless the battery case is securely fastened to the back of the meter.
• Do not expose the meter to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.
Measurement Preparation
• Make sure that when measuring current, the current being measured does not exceed the
maximum rated current. This can cause overheating and damage the meter.
• When measuring in manual range and the value to be measured is unknown, start in the
highest range and adjust the range as needed.
• Make sure to turn the rotary switch to the proper position before connecting the leads to
a circuit.

Maintenance
General Maintenance
• To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, repairs or servicing not covered in this
manualshouldbeperformedonlybyqualiedpersonnel.
• Before opening the meter, remove test leads from all circuits to avoid damage to the meter
or personal injury.
• To avoid electrical shock, remove test leads from input jacks before cleaning.
• To avoid false readings that could lead to possible electric shock, replace the batteries as
soon as the low battery indicator “ ” appears.
• Clean the instrument case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives
or chemical solvents.
• Keep in mind the internal capacitors may retain dangerous voltages even when the
instrumentisturnedo.
• Remove the batteries if the meter is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
Battery Replacement
WARNING:
Remove the test leads from the meter before removing the battery case to avoid
electrical shock and injury.
• Replace the batteries once the display shows “ ” to avoid false readings.
• Remove test leads and unscrew the battery cover and remove the cover.
• Replace the used battery with a new one.
• Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw.
Note:
Double check the polarity of the battery before replacing.
Test Leads Replacement
WARNING:
Replace the test leads with identical or compatible leads. Lead specs: 1000V 10A.
Replace test leads if leads become damaged or worn.
WARNING:
Use meet EN 61010-031 standard, rated CAT III 600V, or better test leads.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock,make sure the probes are disconnected from the measured
circuit before removingthe rear cover.Make sure the rear cover is tightly screwed
before using the instrument.
Out of the Box
Check the meter and accessories thoroughly before using the meter. Contact your local
distributor if the meter or any components are damaged or malfunction.
