•
Inspect the test leads before using to make sure there are
no breaks or shorts.
•
Double check all connections before testing.
•
Have someone check on you periodically if
working alone.
•
Have a complete understanding of the circuit
being measured.
•
Disconnect power to circuit, then connect test leads to
the EEDM575D, then to circuit being measured.
NEVER
•
Attempt to measure unknown high voltages.
•
Attempt to measure DC microamps with the meter in
parallel to the circuit.
•
Connect the test leads to a live circuit before
setting up the instrument.
•
Touch any exposed metal part of the
test lead assembly.
