Warning: -
Incorrect battery cell polarity can cause electrolyte leakage,
resulting in damage to the instrument. If the battery condition indicator
does not show a full charge when battery cells are new, a cell may be
reversed.
Note:
Battery cells should not be left in an instrument which may remain
unused for extended periods.
Fuse replacement (user replaceable)
To check fuse, select Ω range.
Short circuit the test leads. If the fuse is good, the display will show approx.
0Ω.
Display of the fuse symbol
f
indicates a ruptured fuse.
The fuse is located behind the rear cover. The rear cover must not be
opened if test leads are connected.
To avoid the possibility of shock, disconnect the battery before touching the
fuse.
A replacement fuse must be of the correct type and rating.
Fuse:
500 mA (F) H.B.C. 50 kA min 600 V (32 mm x 6 mm)
The MIT series instruments require very little maintenance.
Test leads should be checked before use to ensure there is no damage.
Ensure batteries are removed if left unused for extended periods.
When necessary, the instrument can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Do not use alcohol based cleaners as these may leave a residue.
