SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated
with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for
safe operation.
1.
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
Input Limits
Function
Maximum Input
V DC, V AC, Frequency, Duty Cycle 600V DC/AC
A AC, A DC
400A AC
Resistance
250V DC/AC
Capacitance
250V DC/AC
Temperature
60V DC/, 24V AC
Diode test
250V DC/AC
2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages
3.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input
jack exceeds 240V above earth ground
4.
DO NOT
measure current of circuits whose voltage is greater
than 240V above earth ground
5.
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source
while the function switch is in the resistance or diode mode.
Doing so can damage the meter
6.
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads
before opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries
7.
NEVER
operate the meter unless the back cover is in place
