If  the  instrument  voltage-resistance  input  terminal  has  subjected  to  high  voltage 
transient  (caused  by  lightning  or  switching  surge  to  the  system)  by  accident  or 
abnormal conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will be blown off (become 
high  impedance)  like  fuses  to  protect  the  user  and  the  instrument.  Most  measuring 
functions through this terminal will then be open circuit. The series fusible resistors and 
the spark gaps should then be replaced by qualified technician. Refer to the LIMITED 
WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service. 
 

Battery and Fuse replacement 

Battery use:  

Single 9V battery NEDA1604, JIS006P or IEC6F22;  
or 9V alkaline battery NEDA1604A, JIS6AM6 or IEC6LF22 

Fuses: 

Fuse (FS1) for 

AmA current input:  

0.44A/1000V, IR 10kA or better, F fuse; Dimension: 10 x 38 mm 

Fuse (FS2) for A current input:  

11A/1000V, IR 20kA or better, F fuse; Dimension: 10 x 38 mm 

Battery replacement for models with battery access door: 

Loosen the 2 screws from the battery access door of the case bottom. Lift the battery 
access door and thus the battery compartment up. Replace the battery. Re-fasten the 
screws. 

 

 Fuse replacement (and also Battery 
replacement for splash proof version 
without battery access door): 

Loosen the 4 screws from the  case 
bottom.  Lift  the  end  of  the  case 
bottom nearest the input jacks until it 
unsnaps from the case top. Replace 
the blown fuse(s) and/or the battery. 
Replace  the  case  bottom,  and 
ensure  that  all  the  gaskets  are 
properly  seated  and  the  two  snaps 
on the case top (near the LCD side) 
are engaged. Re-fasten the screws.
