RS-232 PC Interface 

This instrument is equipped with an optically isolated interface port 
(located on the rear of the meter). An optional Windows

TM

 software 

(part no. SW800) and interface package is available for data 
acquisition applications. This optional kit is required to connect the 
meter to a PC. The software provides digital, analog, and graphical 
data displays. Refer to the README file in the interface kit for further 
details. 

Maintenance 

WARNING

 

To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove 
the test leads from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening 
the case. Do not operate with open case. Install only the same type of 
fuse or equivalent 

 
Cleaning and Storage 

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not 
use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of 
longer than 60 days, remove the battery and store it separately
