SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
WARNING: Please follow manufacturers test procedures whenever possible. Do not attempt to measure unknown voltages or components until a complete understanding of the circuit is obtained.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
ALWAYS
• Test the 100 before using it to make sure it is operating properly.
• Inspect the test leads before using to make sure there are no breaks or shorts.
• Double check all connections before testing.
• Have someone check on you periodically if working alone.
• Have a complete understanding of the circuit being measured.
• Disconnect power to circuit, then connect test leads to the 100, then to circuit being measured.
NEVER
• Attempt to measure unknown high voltages.
• Connect the test leads to a live circuit before setting up the instrument.
• Touch any exposed metal part of the test lead assembly.

Over Voltage:
CAT II - 1000V Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) II: Includes voltages encountered on the step
down side of the transformer on the building and at a distance of 10 meters from the CAT III source.
CAT III - 600V Installation Category (Overvoltage Category III: Includes voltage encountered on the distri-
bution level with short distance to the main service con­nection. Pollution Degree 2 Normally only nonconductive pol­lution occurs. Occasionally temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug the red test lead into the V/Winput jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the “ON” position.
5. Connect test leads to circuit to be mea­sured.
6. Reconnect power to circuit to be mea­sured.

MAINTENANCE
1. Battery Replacement: The 265 will display a battery
symbol when the internal 9 Volt battery needs replacement. The battery is replaced as follows:
a. Disconnect and remove all test leads
from live circuits and from the 265.
b. Loosen the screw from the back of the 265 bat-
tery cover. c. Remove the battery compartment cover. d. Remove old battery and replace with new bat-
tery. Observe the correct polarity on the battery. e. Reassemble the instrument in reverse
order from above.
2. Cleaning your 265:
Use a mild detergent and slightly damp cloth to clean the surfaces of the 265.
