III. Rules for Safe Operation

Please note the Warning symbol. Warnings indicate the conditions and actions which pose hazards to users or may damage the meter or equipment under test. This Meter is designed to comply with several safety standards, This meter conforms to UL STD. 61010-1,

61010-2-030, 61010-2-032, 61010-2-033, Certied to CSA

SID. C22.2 NO. 61010-1,61010-2-030, IEC STD 610102-032, 61010-2-033 in pollution degree 2, measurement category (CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V), double insulation as well as with IP65 standards for water resistance and dustproong. Use of the meter without following the operating instructions can reduce or circumvent the protection provided by the meter.

Measurement Category Ill (CAT Ill) is intended for measurements performed in building installation. Examples may include measurements on distribution boards, circuitbreakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes,

switches, socket-outlets in xed installations, and equipment

for industrial use and some other equipment, for example,

stationary motors with permanent connection to the xed

installation.

Measurement Category IV (CAT IV) is intended for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation. Examples include electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.

1. Never use a damaged meter. Before using the meter, check the meter case for visible cracks or any missing plastic parts. Pay special attention to the insulation areas around the connectors.

2. Before using the meter, ensure the battery cover is closed and secured. Before opening the battery cover, remove the test leads from the meter.

3. Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. If any test lead is damaged, replace it before using the meter.

4. Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and ground.

5. Do not have the meter turned on when removing the cover or opening the case.

6. When working with a voltage >30V AC (RMS), >42VAC (peak), or over 60V DC, special care should be taken to avoid electric shock.

7. Replacement fuses must comply with the specications in

this Operating Manual.

8. Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurement.

9. When measuring current, shut off the power to the circuit,

then connect the meter to the circuit. Remember: the meter and the circuit must be connected in series.

10. When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the main test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the main test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

Page 5

11. If the meter works improperly, do not use it. The protection measures of the meter may have failed. If in doubt, contact your distributor or Triplett Customer Service.

12. Do not store or use the meter in an environment with high temperature, humidity, strong magnetic elds, or with inammable or explosive materials.

13. When using the probes, keep your ngers behind the nger guards.

14. Do not use the low-pass lter to verify hazardous voltage,

as there may be an AC voltage over the indicated value. First,

measure the voltage without a lter to check whether it is hazardous, then select low-pass ltering.

15. Before testing resistance, continuity, conductance, diode or capacitance, shut off the power to the circuit and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.

17. Do not measure a voltage or current higher than the allowed input values. When the range of measured values cannot be determined, set the functional range switch at the maximum-range position.

18. When the symbol shows on the LCD display, the battery should be promptly charged to ensure measurement accuracy.

19. Do not change the wiring within the meter to avoid injury

and damaging the meter.

20. A soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the meter when servicing. No abrasive cleaners or solvents should be used on the product.

21.Test a known voltage before use to conrm the meter is

functioning correctly.

22. If you want to replace the test lead, you need to replace it with a test lead of the same or higher grade of CAT Ill 1000V/CAT IV 600V.
