Introduction
Maintenance
The HS26 is smaller, simpler and more rugged
than it’s bigger brothers, and still works with all
Fieldpiece accessory heads. All Fieldpiece accessory heads slide on the top, enabling the user to test a
wide variety of parameters. All this plus the removable tip test leads make safe one-handed testing a
snap.
Clean the exterior with clean dry cloth. Do not use
liquid.
Battery replacement: When the multimeter displays "
" the battery must be replaced. Disconnect
and unplug leads, turn meter off, and remove the battery cover. Replace the battery with a NEDA type 1604
9V battery.

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 measurements. 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 circuit, disconnect the "RED" lead first, then the common lead. Work with others. Use one hand for testing. Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, 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.
Voltage tests: Do not apply more than 600VDC or
600VAC to V ranges.
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.

Limited Warranty
This meter is warranted against defects in material or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. 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 damages, expenses, or economic loss, or for any claim of
such damage, expenses, or economic loss.
State laws vary. The above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
Obtaining Service
Call Fieldpiece Instruments for one-price-fix-all
warranty service pricing. Send check or money order
for the amount quoted. Send the meter freight prepaid to Fieldpiece Instruments. Send proof of date
and location of purchase for in-warranty service. The
meter will be repaired or replaced, at the option of
Fieldpiece, and returned via least cost transportation.
Selecting Ranges
For DC voltage, set the meter to the VDC parameter instead of VAC (shown below).
For all ranges choose a range just above the value
you expect. If display reads “OL” (overload), select a
higher range. If display shows less than three numbers, select a lower range for better resolution.

Connect to Fieldpiece accessory heads by simply
attaching them to the top of meter (1) or attach
remotely through leads (2). For most heads, move
dial to mVDC range shown (1). For the AAC clamp
(ACH4), move dial to VAC range (2).
Hi Voltage Indicator
Modular Expandability
In any VAC/VDC range, when you touch a voltage
greater than 30V, the beeper will beep and the red HiV LED will blink. BE CAREFUL!
Modular expandability is the ability for accessory
heads and meters to change configurations to match
the various needs of an HVAC/R technician.
Capacitance
For motor-start and motor-run capacitors.
Disconnect the capacitor from power first. Short the
terminals to discharge the capacitor. Disconnect any
resistors that might be between the terminals of the
capacitor.

Accessory heads, like the included ACH4, are the
sensors of multiple parameters measured by technicians every day. They plug into a mV range (depending on the head) of a multimeter. The multimeter will
display whatever the head is measuring. Instead of
having to purchase and carry a separate instrument
for each parameter, a technician can use multiple
heads and a single multimeter to do the job.
Here are four of the many heads available:

Press MAX to store highest reading on the display.
Press MAX again to return display to real-time reading. Press HOLD to hold current data on the display.
When testing electrical circuits with two hands,
there is a risk that a careless mistake may complete a circuit
through your body and potentially
cause death or injury.
First disconnect the top half of
red test lead and plug tip directly
into Volts jack. Plug alligator clip
lead into the COM jack (you may
need to use a lead with tip
removed as an extension). Then
clip the alligator lead to one test
point.
With the black alligator lead
secured, you’re now free to hold
the meter with one hand and
touch other test points with the
probe tip.

P1
Accessory heads (the sensors) send a mV signal,
which represents the value of the parameter being
tested. Heads can attach directly to the top of a Stick
meter, DL3 data logger, or EHDL1. They can also
plug into any meter with mV ranges using ADLS2
leads.
