Safety Information
Arc Flash and Shock Hazard, Proper PPE Required. Follow all safety procedures,
wear proper PPE in accordance to NFPA 70E and follow the guidelines below and the
instructions in this manual when operating the meter. Failure to comply can result in
serious injury or death.
• Choking Hazard, Small Parts. Keep Away from Children. Sharp Objects
Hazard, This is not a toy. It is not for use or play by children. Keep Away
from Children. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
• Only experienced or technically competent consumers should use this
equipment.
• When in doubt, call an experienced electrician to make any and all necessary
repairs or installations. At all times, perform any necessary work on a de-
energized circuit that has had its circuit breaker turned off and has been
locked out.
• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or protection provided by the
Meter can be compromised.
• Before using or connecting the Meter, visually inspect it to ensure the cases are
not cracked and the back case is securely in place. Do not use if the Meter
appears damaged.
• Before using the test leads, inspect carefully for damaged insulation, exposed
metal or cracked probes. Check test leads for continuity. Do not use leads if they
appear damaged.
• Use only approved test leads. Do not use improvised connections that could
present a safety hazard.
• Never measure ac current while the test leads are inserted into the input jacks.
• When using the probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead. When
disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
• This Meter is intended for use by qualified electricians. Follow NFPA 70E
Standards for Electrical Safety in the Workplace when using this Meter.
• Do not use without the batteries correctly in place and the battery door closed
and secured.
• Do not use Meter if it operates incorrectly as protection may be compromised.
• When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
• When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
Arc Flash and Shock Hazard, Proper PPE Required. Follow all safety procedures,
wear proper PPE in accordance to NFPA 70E and follow the guidelines below and
the instructions in this manual when operating the meter. Failure to comply can
result in serious injury or death.
• Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, dust, or vapor, or during electrical
storms, or in wet environments.
• When measuring, keep fingers behind the Tactile Barrier. See “The Meter” on
pg. 8 and 9.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the
batteries as soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.
• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing the battery door.
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC RMS or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.
• Always ensure that test leads are secured so that they cannot be accidentally
snagged or tripped over.
• Do not work alone so that assistance can be rendered in an emergency.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact
with the conductor could result in electric shock.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must
be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors
are exposed.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you
measure resistance, continuity, or capacitance.
• Do not measure current in circuits carrying more than 600V or 400A with the
Meter Jaw.
• Never operate the Meter with the back cover removed or the case open.
• Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Meter damage, equipment under test damage or data loss can occur
if the following guidelines are not adhered to.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement application.
• Clean the case and accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergents only. Do
not use abrasives or solvents. Make sure the meter is completely dry before use.
