never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit •
elements or test probe tips.
Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
•
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or •
moisture.
The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard,
•
observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60
VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the
user.
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on
•
a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the
•
test leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held part during
measurement.
inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed
•
metal before using the instrument. if any defects are found, replace them
immediately.
This Clamp-on meter is designed to apply around or remove from uninsulated
•
hazardous live conductors. individual protective equipment must be used if
hazardous live parts of the installation could be accessible.
exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10 mA //
•
AC power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical storms //
current, when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >1000 V //
servicing CRT equipment.
Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing •
resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal
•
injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (
�
) appears.
