be attempted.
Extreme
care
must
be taken when measuring
above 50 V, especially on live bus-bars.
To measure voltage, the instrument must
not
be
switched to a current or resistance range, or to the
diode check or buzzer position.
Circuits
must
be de-energised and isolated before
carrying out resistance tests.
The rotary selector switch must only be turned
