Safety Information
T h i s Me t e r co m p l ies with the stand ards
IE C61 01 0 -1 for pol lut io n d egr ee 2, ove r vo l ta ge
category (CAT II 1000V) and double insulation. Please
follow these operating instructions while using the
meter to reduce the chance of damage or possible
injury.
1. Inspect both the Meter and the Test Leads before
use. Do not use the Meter and Test Leads
if either is damaged, if the protective housing is
removed or the display is blank while in use. Do not
use the meter with the housing removed;;;;;;;;;;;. Damage
to the case or insulation could cause electric shock
or cause further damage to the meter and any attached
equipment being tested.
2. If test leads are damaged, use only the same
model num ber or identical electrical specification
replacement parts.
3. Do not touch any cable, connector, terminal or
other circuit being tested with your bare skin or hands.
4. When the meter is being used with voltages over
60V DC or 30V rms AC RMS, additional care should
be taken for added danger of electric shock.
5. Select the correct terminal input and turn the
rotary switch to sele ct the meas uring fu nction. If you
are not sure of the current range, simply start with a high
value and adjust down until you get a a reading.
1 piece
6. Do not overload voltage or current between the
terminals or between the terminals and a ground;;;;;;,
which the meter will indicate the overload.
7. Once the rotary switch is placed in the correct
range position, do not change the range during the
measurement function.
8. Do not use or store the meter in a high temperat u re , high hum idi t y, f lam mab l e, or highly
electromagnetic environment. The performance of
the meter may deteriorate after this type of use.
9. Do not alter the interna l circuit of the meter
for any reason. Doing so will cause damage to the
meter, and possibly cause injury or death.
10. Replace the ba ttery a s soon as the batt ery
indicator “ ”appears. With a low battery, the
meter might produce false readings that can lead to
electric shock and even personal injury.
11. Turn the meter off when it is not is use. Take out
the batteries when not used for extended period of time.
