This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the
meter safely and maintaining the meter in a safe operating condition. If the meter is
used in a manner not spe cified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
meter may be impaired.

identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even
death to the user.
identifies conditions and actions tha t could cause damage or malfunction
in the instrument.

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.

Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barrie

rs (of the meter and the test

probe assembly, where applicable) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand ­
held  parts  during  measurements.  Inspect  lead  wires,  connectors,  and  probes  for
damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the meter. I f any defects are found,
replace them immediately. Only use the probe assembly provided with the meter or a
UL Listed Probe Assembly to the same meter ratings or better.

IEC 61010­031 requires exposed conductive test probe tips to be

4mm for CAT III &

CAT IV ratings. Refer to the category markings on your probe assemblies as well as on
the add­on accessories (like detachable Caps or Alligator Clips), if any, for applicable
rating changes.

Observe proper safety precautions when working with voltages abov e 33 Vrms, 46.7
Vpeak or 70 VDC. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, check the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.

Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing functions.
