Safety Information
Read and understand this Instruction Manual completely before using this
instrument. Failure to observe the warnings and cautions in this Instruc-
tion 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 before use. Do not use the
instrument if it is wet or damaged.
-
When using 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.
-
Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test leads inserted
into the A input terminals.
-
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.
-
Do not attempt a current measurement when the open-circuit
voltage is above the fuse protection rating.
-
Only replace a blown fuse with the correct type and rating as specified
in this Instruction Manual.
-
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, current, continuity, diode or capacitance
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.
