SAFETY

Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use the product only as specified.

CAUTION.

These statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment or other property.

WARNING.

These statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or loss of life.

Specific precautions:

Do not operate without covers. To avoid personal injury, do not apply any voltage or current to the product without the covers in place.

Electric overload. Never apply a voltage to a connector on the product that is outside the range specified for that connector.

Avoid electric shock. To avoid injury or loss of life, do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions.

Indicator Functions:

•Hi-V: In ACV, DCV, Resistance, and Continuity/Diode test, the end user will get an audible warning and the Hi-V light will blink if there is Voltage Greater that 30V present at the input terminals.

o In addition to the LED and audible beep, the 61-702 and 61-704 has a tactile vibration when voltage is present.

•NCV: When the NCV button is pressed, the analog to digital circuit is turned off and the NCV circuit is activated. Sensing for the NCV is at the tip of the Clamp Jaw or by the Red Test Lead in the red (+) input terminal. Follow the operation instructions giving in the operator’s manual for proper use of this function. The NCV function is on Ideal Models 61-701,61-702, and 61-704.

•CP: When the 60Hz AC power is clean, with less than 5% Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) on AC voltage, the green CP light will be energized. If there is greater that 5% THD on the line, the green CP light will be de-energized.
