DANGER!
DO NOT
exceed 700 volts AC or DC. Exceeding this value may result in
serious injury or equipment damage!
DANGER!
Voltage measured from phase to phase may be much higher than the
specified voltage. Some multi-phase systems are specified relative to
the voltage measured from ground to a single phase.
DANGER!
DO NOT
remove the ECT600A from its protective boot or use when
wet. The boot provides insulation from measured voltage. Moisture
reduces insulation’s properties.
WARNING!
Inspect this instrument prior to use for cracks or damage to the housing,
f rayed or cut insulation, modification, or any other discre p a n cy to the unit.
DO NOT
use your ECT600A if any of these conditions exist! Replace the
instrument or have it re p a i red at a qualified facility.
WARNING!
Probe tips are extremely sharp! Store and transport this instrument in
a manner that reduces risk of contact with the probes tips.
DO NOT
attempt to catch the unit if it is dropped.
Verify your instrument is functioning properly:
Each time you
use your ECT600A, verify it is functioning properly by following the
instructions below on a know good voltage source. This is particularly
important when using this instrument to ensure wiring is safe to touch.
Introduction
The ECT600A detects both voltage and continuity. The bright panel of
Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators provides a quick and sure display of
measured voltage, ranging from 12 to 600 volts AC or DC. A loud, clear
audio tone sounds to give you a quick indication that voltage or continuity
is present even if you can’t see the display.
The continuity feature sounds at a distinctive tone when the ECT600A finds
a path for current to flow between two wires or other probed points.
With no batteries to replace, your ECT600A is ready to go when you are.
Features include
• Quick single-probe AC checks
• LED indication of voltage level
• Loud audible tone
• Continuity tester
• AC and DC voltage measurement
• No battery needed
Safety Notes
Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully. In
this manual the word
"WARNING"
is used to indicate conditions
or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word
"CAUTION"
is used to indicate conditions or actions that may
damage this instrument.
WARNING!
Exceeding the specified limits of this meter is dangerous and can
expose the user to serious or possibly fatal injury.
• Read the safety precautions associated with the equipment being
tested and seek assistance or advice when performing
unfamiliar tasks.
• Keep your fingers away from the test lead metal probe contacts
and bus-bars when making measurements. Always grip the
instrument and test-lead behind the hand guards (molded into
the probe).
• In the event of electrical shock, ALWAYS bring the victim to
the emergency room for evaluation, regardless of the victim’s
apparent recovery. Electrical shock can cause an unstable heart
rhythm that may need medical attention.
