1.2 Safety Precautions
This multi-meter is designed to ensure the safest operation possible.
Nevertheless, safe operation depends on you, the operator. Follow these simple
safety rules:
•
Never apply a voltage to the multi-meter that exceeds 500VDC or 500VAC
rms between an input jack and ground.
•
Use extreme caution when working with voltages above 60VDC or 30VAC
rms.
•
Always discharge the filter capacitors in the power supply circuit under test
before attaching the test leads.
•
Never connect a voltage source to the DVM830L when the device is in the
DCA, ACA, resistance or continuity mode.
•
Always turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before replacing the
battery or fuse.
•
Never operate the multi-meter unless the battery cover is in place and fully
closed.
•
When carrying out measurements on TV's or switching power circuits, always
remember that there may be high amplitude voltage pulses at test points
which may damage the meter.
