Safety Instructions
•
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with
caution.
•
The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe operation.
•
Never apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum:
Input Protection Limits
Function
Maximum Input
V DC or V AC
600V DC/AC RMS
Frequency, Resistance,
Capacitance, Duty Cycle,
DiodeTest, Continuity
600V DC/AC RMS
Surge Protection: 6kV peak per IEC 61010
•
Use extreme caution when working with high voltages.
•
Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the “COM” input jack exceeds
600V above earth ground.
•
Never connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function
switch is in the current, resistance or diode mode, doing so can damage
the meter.
•
Always discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the
power when making resistance or diode tests.
•
Always turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening
the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
•
Never operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse
covers are in place and fastened securely.
•
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
