replacement. The battery is replaced as follows:
a.
Disconnect and remove all test leads
from live circuits and from the 296.
b.
Loosen the screw from the back of the
296 battery cover.
c.
Remove the battery compartment cover.
d.
Remove old battery and replace with new battery,
observing the correct polarity.
e.

3. EC Declaration of Conformity
This is to certify that TPI Model 296 conforms to the
protection requirements of the council directive
89/336/EEC, in the approximation of laws of the member
states relating to Electromagnetic compatibility and
73/23/EEC. The Low Voltage Directive by application of
the following standards:
EN 50081-1
1992 Emissions Standard
EN 50082-1
1992 Immunity Standard
EN 61010-1
1993 Safety Standard
EN 61010-2-031
1995 Safety Standard
EN 61010-2-032
1995 Safety Standard
To ensure conformity with these standard, this instru-
ment must be operated in accordance with the instruc-
tions and specifications given in this manual.
CAUTION: Even though this instrument complies with
the immunity standards, it’s accuracy can be affected
by strong radio emissions not covered in the above
standards. Sources such as hand-held radio trans-
ceivers, radio and TV transmitters, vehicle radios and
cellular phones generate electromagnetic radiation
that could be induced into the test leads of this instru-
ment. Care should be taken to avoid such situations or
alternatively, check to make sure that the instrument is
not being influence by these emissions.
CAUTION: Please follow manufacturers test proce-
dures whenever possible. Do not attempt to measure
unknown voltages or components until a complete
understanding of the circuit is obtained.
