plug.
Do not use and disable the Product if it
is damaged.
Do not use the Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42
V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
Measure a known voltage first to make
sure that the Product operates correctly.
Do not apply more than the rated
voltage, between the terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
Remove the null post adapter from the /Null jack after a test lead zero is
performed. The /Null jack becomes potentially hazardous during some of the test conditions. Use only cables with correct voltage ratings.
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories that are not necessary for the measurement.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
Use only current probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the Product.
Do not use the 15-20 A adapter to supply power to devices rated more than 15 A. This can overload the installation.

How to Access the Product Functions
The self-test measures the ac mains input for correct polarity, ground integrity and voltage level. The high voltage indicator illuminates briefly during the self test. If the polarity is reversed, the Product shows this condition and sets the polarity to be reversed internally. If the ground is open, the Product shows this fault. If the mains voltage is too high or too low, the Product shows this fault and does not continue until the supply voltage is corrected and the Product power turned off and then on again.

How to Access the Product Functions

For each test and setup function, the Product uses a series of menus to access different Product tests and setup variables. The example shown in Figure , the Product shows different leakage current tests along the bottom of the display. A More softkey lets you access more menus related to the test. When you push a softkey (F1 through F4) below a test name, the Product sets up for or does the selected test.
For some tests, it will be necessary to set parameters with the navigation buttons. In the example above, the leakage parameter has next to it. This icon shows you must push or  to set its value. In this example, the leakage current measurement changes between AC+DC, AC only, or DC only. The applied parts indicator has on the left end and on the right end. These icons show that you must push and to set an applied part.
