Safety Information
Read and understand this Instruction Manual completely
before using this instrument. Failure to observe the warnings
and cautions in this Instruction Manual may result in injury or
death, or damage to the instrument and other equipment or
property.
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified in these
instructions, the protection provided by the instrument may be
impaired.
WARNING
-
Examine the instrument and probes and leads before use.
Do not use the instrument if it is wet or damaged, or if you
suspect it is not operating correctly.
-
When using the instrument, test leads or probes, keep your
fingers behind the finger guards.
-
Remove the test lead from the instrument before opening the
battery cover or instrument case.
-
Always use the correct terminals, switch position and range
for measurements.
-
Verify the instrument is operating correctly by measuring a
known voltage before use. If in doubt, have the instrument
serviced.
-
Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the
instrument between terminals, or between any terminal and
earth ground.
-
Use caution when measuring voltages above 30 Vac rms or
60 Vdc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
-
To avoid incorrect readings that can lead to electric shock,
replace the battery as soon as low battery indicator
appears in the display.
-
Disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before making resistance, continuity, or diode
measurements.
-
Do not use the instrument in a Hazardous Area or around
explosive gasses or vapours.
-
Wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment when working
around or near hazardous Live conductors which could be
accessible.
-
Do not use the thermocouple to measure the temperature of
Hazardous Live conductors or equipment.
Caution
-
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing
the position of the function rotary switch.
-
Never connect the instrument to a source of voltage with the
function rotary switch in
