Ground the equipment:
For Safety class 1 equipment (equipment having a protective earth terminal),
an interrupted safety earth ground must be provided from the main power source to the product input
wiring terminals or supplied power cable.
DO NOT
operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in presence of flammable gases or fumes.
For continued protection
, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the same voltage and current
rating and type. DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders.
Keep away from live circuits:
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or shields.
Procedures involving the removal of covers or shields are for use service trained personnel only. Under
certain conditions, dangerous voltage may exist even with the equipment switched off. To avoid
dangerous electrical shock, DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless you

DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment:
Because of the danger of introducing additional
hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return
the product to Valhalla Scientific for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Measuring high voltage is always hazardous:
ALL multimeters input terminals (both front and rear)
must be considered hazardous whenever inputs greater than 42V (dc or peak) are connected to ANY
input terminal.
Permanent wiring of hazardous voltage
or sources capable of delivering greater than 150VA should be
labeled, fused, or in some other way protected against accidental bridging or equipment failure.
DO NOT
leave measurement terminals energized when not in use.
