Maintenance

 

WARNING

:  To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the 

back cover or the battery or fuse covers. 

 

WARNING: 

To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery and fuse covers are in place and 

fastened securely. 

This Instrument is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care instructions 
are performed: 

1. 

KEEP THE METER DRY

. If it gets wet, wipe it off. 

2. 

USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

 Temperature extremes can 

shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts. 

3. 

HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY.

 Dropping it can damage the electronic parts 

or the case. 

4. 

KEEP THE METER CLEAN.

 Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT use 

chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents. 

5. 

USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE. 

Remove old or 

weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit. 

6. 

IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

, the batteries should be 

removed to prevent damage to the unit. 

9.1 BATTERY INSTALLATION 

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the 

battery cover. 

1. Turn power off and disconnect the test leads from the meter. 
2. Open the rear battery cover by removing three screws using a Phillips 

screwdriver. 

3. Insert the six (6) 1.5V AA batteries into battery holder, observing the 

correct polarity. 

4. Put the battery cover back in place. Secure with the screws.

 

 

 

You, as the end user, are legally bound (

EU Battery ordinance

) to return all used batteries, 

disposal 

in the household garbage is prohibited! 

You can hand over your used batteries / accumulators at 

collection points in your community or wherever batteries / accumulators are sold! 

Disposal: 

Follow the valid legal stipulations in respect of the disposal of the device at the end of its 

lifecycle 

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, do not operate meter until the battery cover is in place and fastened securely. 

9.2 REPLACING THE FUSE 

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the 

meter cover. 

1.  Disconnect the test leads from the meter. 
2.  To replace the 500mA/600V fuse, remove the battery cover (three Phillips screws); the fuse will 

be visible to the right of the batteries (recessed). 

3.  Gently remove the old fuse and install the new fuse into the holder. 
4.  Always use a fuse of the proper size and value (500mA/600V fast blow). 
5.  Replace and secure the rear battery cover. 

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, do not operate meter until the fuse cover is in place and fastened securely.
