Warmup time
After the Model DMM7510 is turned on, it must be allowed to warm up for at least 1½ hours to allow
the internal temperature to stabilize. If the instrument has been exposed to extreme temperatures,
allow extra warmup time.
High-energy circuit safety precautions
To optimize safety when measuring voltage in high-energy distribution circuits, read and use the
directions in the following warning.
Dangerous arcs of an explosive nature in a high-energy circuit can cause severe personal
injury or death. If the Model DMM7510 is connected to a high-energy circuit when set to a
current range or low resistance range, the circuit is virtually shorted. Dangerous arcing can
result even when the Model DMM7510 is set to a voltage range if the minimum voltage
spacing is reduced in the external connections.
The front and rear terminals of the instrument are rated for connection to circuits rated
Measurement Category II up to 300 V, as described in International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) Standard IEC 60664. This range must not be exceeded. Do not connect
the instrument terminals to CAT III or CAT IV circuits. Connection of the instrument
terminals to circuits higher than CAT II can cause damage to the equipment and severe
personal injury.
