Safety Information
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.

Safety Information
CATIV: Measurement category IV: Equipment connected between the origin of the lowvoltage mains supply outside the building and the consumer unit.
CATIII: Measurement category III: Equipment connected between the consumer unit and
the electrical outlets.
CATII: Measurement category II: Equipment connected between the electrical outlets
and the user’s equipment.
Making Basic Measurements
Observe all Warnings and Cautions before measurements.
G CAUTION
When connecting the test leads to the device under test connect the common test
leads before connecting the live test lead. When removing the test leads, remove
the live test lead before removing the common test lead.
Make sure that the buzzer sound is perceptible before using it under high
background noise environment.

G Warning
When batteries are not fitted or are exhausted, the tester is capable of measuring
>45 VAC and/or >35 VDC.
Timing Rating (tr): 30 seconds, Recovery Time (rt): 240 seconds, when measuring
>300 V, recovery time is necessary.
L/R LED may light up when measuring AC voltage.
Due to the high internal resistance, capacitive and inductive voltage (ghost voltage)
may be indicated.

Grip firmly
Detach lead
G Warning
The MET1000 Single Pole Check feature consists of using only one test lead
connected to the MET1000, remove second test lead if fitted.
To carry out Single Pole Check test, while firmly holding the MET1000 connect the
test lead into a live circuit, this will cause the MET1000 to repeatedly beep and the
hazard symbol to illuminate without any voltage being displayed on the screen.
If a voltage appears on the screen then use 2 Pole method to prove the circuit live.
