Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe warnings can result in severe injury or death.
„ If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
„ Always use the proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
„ Ensure hands are kept behind the barrier / hand guard when making
measurements
„ To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this product around explosive
gas or in damp locations.
„ Verify the Meter operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the
meter calibrated.
„ Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on meter, between terminals
or between any terminal and earth.
„ Avoid working alone.
„ Do not use the tester if the tester is not operating properly or if it is wet.
„ Personal protective equipment must be used if hazardous live parts in the
installation where the measurement is to be carried out could be accessible.
„ Use caution with voltages above 30 VAC rms, 42 VAC peak, or 60 VDC. These
voltages pose a shock hazard.
„ DO NOT USE the test leads if the internal white insulation layer becomes exposed.
„ DO NOT USE the test leads for voltage or current measurement in any environment
above the safety CAT rating printed on the probe or probe tip guard cap
„ DO NOT USE the test leads without the probe tip guard cap in CAT III or CAT IV
environments.
„ Probe assemblies to be used for mains measurements shall be rated as appropriate
for measurement Category III or IV according to IEC 61010-031 and shall have a
voltage rating of at least the voltage of the circuit to be measured.
„ Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity.
