A Caution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the installation tester or
cause permanent loss of data.
WWarnings: Read Before Using
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Use the product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the product can be
compromised.
• Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapor or in damp or wet environments.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged
insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
• Use only probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the product operates correctly.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the Product.
• Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals.
• Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent battery leakage.
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
• Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the case open. Hazardous voltage
exposure is possible.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between the terminals or between each
terminal and earth ground.
• Do not use the product if it is damaged.
• Have an approved technician repair the product.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between the terminals or between each
terminal and earth ground.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before opening the battery door and the
product case.
• Do not operate the product with covers removed or the case open. Hazardous voltage
exposure is possible.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Use only specified replacement fuses.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove the live test lead
before the common test lead.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect
measurements.
• Use only specified replacement parts.
• Do not use the tester in distribution systems with voltages higher than 550 V.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment
(approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
