5. Preparation for Operation
5.1. Using the test leads
Use only the identical type of test leads supplied with your
meter. These test leads are rated for 1200 V.
Cautions!
* Although the replacement probes are rated for 1200 V,
the maximum rating of your meter is 1000 V DC and 700
V AC. If you try to measure DC voltages above 1000 V or
AC voltages 700 Vrms, you might damage your meter
and expose yourself to a serious shock hazard. Use
extreme care when you measure high voltages.
*
Never connect the probe you plug into the COM terminal
to a source of voltage greater than 1000 V DC/700 V
ACrms with respect to earth/ground. This creates a
serious shock hazard.
5.2. Using the stand
Use your meter’s stand to prop up the meter. If you prop your
meter on a bench-top, the stand helps provide a better
viewing angle.
To use the stand as a prop, just open it away from the meter
and set it on a flat surface.
