Intended Use
•
Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in the specifications for
each range of measurement.
•
When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit, do not touch unused
terminals.
•
Never use the meter to measure voltages that might exceed 600v above
earth ground in category II installations.
•
When the value scale to be measured in unknown beforehand, set the range
selector at the highest position.
•
Before rotating the range selector to change functions, disconnect test leads
form the circuit under test.
•
When carrying out measurements on TV’s or switching power circuits
always remember that there may be high amplitude voltages pulses at test
points, which can damage the meter.
•
Always be careful when working with voltages above 60V dc or 30Vac rms.
Keep fingers be hide the probe barriers while measuring.
•
Before attempting to insert transistors for testing, always be sure that test
leads have been disconnected from any measurement circuits.
Components should not be connected to the hFE socket when making
voltage measurements with test leads.
•
Never perform resistance measurements on a live circuit.
