3-2. Using the Test Probes
Use only the type of test probes supplied with your meter. These test
probes are rated for 1200 volts.
Cautions:
•
Although the replacement test probes are rated for 1200 volts, the
maximum rating of your meter is 1000 volts DC and 750 volts AC.
If you try to measure DC voltages above 1000 volts or AC
voltages above 750 volts rms, you might damage your meter and
expose yourself to a serious shock hazard. Use extreme care
when you measure high voltages.
•
Never connect the probe you plug into the COM terminal to a
source of voltage greater than 500 volts with respect to earth
ground. This creates a serious shock hazard.
3-3. Using the Stand
Use your meter’s stand to prop up or hang the meter.
Propping Up the Meter
If you prop your meter on a benchtop, the stand helps provide a better
viewing angle. To use the stand as a prop, just open it away from the meter
and set it on a flat surface.
Hanging the Meter
To hang the meter, remove the stand by pressing the lower parts of the
stand together. Then insert the stand into top 2 holes.
