SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with
caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe
operation.
1.
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
Input Protection Limits
Function
Maximum Input
V DC or V AC
1000VDC/AC rms
mA AC/DC
500mA 1000V fast acting fuse
A AC/DC
10A 1000V fast acting fuse (20A
for 30 seconds max every 15
minutes)
Frequency, Resistance,
Capacitance, Duty Cycle,
Diode Test, Continuity
1000VDC/AC rms
Temperature
1000VDC/AC rms
Surge Protection: 8kV peak per IEC 61010
2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
3.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack
exceeds 1000V above earth ground.
4.
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source while
the function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode.
Doing so can damage the meter.
5.
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and
disconnect the power when making resistance or diode tests.
