Digital Multimeter
Instruction Manual
Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. Use the meter
only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by
the meter may be impaired.
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death, follow these
guidelines:
• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to
ensure case is not cracked and back case is securely in place.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed,
or probes are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.
• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.
• Replace battery as soon as battery indicator appears to avoid false
readings.
• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing battery cover.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.
CAUTION
To protect yourself, think “Safety First”:
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use
caution.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses,
face shields, insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating
mats.
• Before each use:
- Perform a continuity test by touching the test leads together to
verify the functionality of the battery and test leads.
- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter operation by
measuring a known voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under
test. (3) Return to the known live voltage again to ensure proper
operation.
• Use the proper terminals, functions and range for your measurements.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to ground or neutral before applying
the red test lead to potential voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from
the voltage first.
• Always work with a partner.
• When using the probes, keep fingers as far behind the probe tips as
possible.
