WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.

• Before each use verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage.

• Never use the tester on a circuit with voltages that exceed the
category based rating of this tester.

• Do not use the tester during electrical storms or in wet weather.

• Do not use the tester or test leads if they appear to be damaged.

• Keep fingers behind the finger guards and away from the metal probe
contacts when making measurements.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS or 60V
DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.

• Tester is IP44 dust & water resistant. Following any contact with
water, thoroughly dry tester prior to subsequent use.

CAUTION

• DO NOT attempt to repair this tester. It contains no serviceable parts.

•

DO NOT expose tester to extremes in temperature or high humidity.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use the
CATIII / CATIV shield increases arc-flash risk.

0.13" – 0.15" (3.3 mm – 3.9 mm)

TESTING IN CAT II MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

CAT III / CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This will
allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall outlets. Take
care not to lose the shields.

0.5" (13 mm)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Apply test leads 1 to the system under test to measure AC or DC
voltage; the voltage level indicators 3 will light up indicating the
magnitude of the voltage present.

NOTE: Test-leads seated in the lead holders

2

on the back of the

unit are spaced correctly to test tamper-resistant US-style outlets.

DO NOT attempt to measure voltages in excess of 240V AC
or 330V DC. Voltages in excess of 240V AC or 330V DC will
illuminate the 240V AC / 330V DC indicator. No other warnings

will be delivered for voltages above 240V AC or 330V DC.

CLEANING

Wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.

Do not use abrasive

cleaners or solvents.

STORAGE

Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period
of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned
in the General Specifications section, allow the tester to return
to normal operating conditions before using.

DISPOSAL / RECYCLE

Do not place equipment and its accessories in the trash.
Items must be properly disposed of in accordance
with local regulations. Please see www.epa.gov or
www.erecycle.org for additional information.
