SAFETY WARNINGS
The following safety information must be observed to insure maximum personal safety during the
operation at this meter:
•
Measurements beyond the maximum selected range must not
be attempted.
•
Extreme care must be taken when measuring above 50 V, especially on live bus-bars.
•
To measure voltage, the instrument must
not
be switched to a current or resistance range, or to
the diode check or buzzer position.
•
Circuits must
be de-energised and isolated before carrying out resistance tests.
•
The rotary selector switch must only be turned after removing test connections.
•
All external voltages must
be disconnected from the instrument before removing the battery.
•
Test leads and prods must
be in good order, clean, and with no broken or cracked insulation.
•
UK Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when measuring voltage on high
energy systems.
•
Replacement fuses must
be of the correct type and rating.
•
The instrument must not
be used if any part of it is damaged.
•
Warnings and precautions must be read and understood
before an instrument is used. They must
