MAINTENANCE  

 

 

Changing Input Power Configuration  

This meter was shipped with power cords and fuses for 117V (USA) and 230V (European) operation.  
The initial configuration is for 230V. 
 

Fuse Replacement  

This DMM has two fuses. The main power fuse is 0.08A or 0.125A, 250V for line protection. The current 
measurement fuse is 2A / 250V for below 2A current measurements (unscrew the mA – 2A input jack).

MAINTENANCE 

If there appears to be a malfunction during the operation of the Multimeter, the following steps should be 
performed in order to isolate the cause of the problem: 

Review the operating instructions for possible 

mistakes in operating procedure. 

Inspect and test the Test Cables for a broken or intermittent 

connection. 

 Inspect and test the fuse. See Fuse Replacement.  

 
CLEANING 

CAUTION 

DO NOT USE AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS OR CHLORINATED SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING. 
THESE SOLUTIONS WILL REACT WITH THE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED IN THE INSTRUMENT.  
Clean the front panel and case with a mild solution of detergent and water. Clean dust from the circuit 
board with clean, dry, low pressure air (20 psi or less). Contaminants can be removed from the pcb using 
demineralized water and a soft brush (remove the display assembly before washing the Main PCB and 
avoid getting excess amounts of water on the switches). Dry with clean, dry, low pressure air and then 
bake at 50 to 60°C (122 to 140°F) for 24 hours. 

 
REPAIR 

All test tools returned for warranty or non-warranty repair or for calibration should be accompanied by the 
following: your name, company’s name, address, telephone number, and proof of purchase.  Additionally, 
please include a brief description of the problem or the service requested and include the test leads with 
the meter. Non-warranty repair or replacement charges should be remitted in the form of a check, a 
money order, credit card with expiration date, or a purchase order made payable to Meterman Test Tools.
