Insulation Tester
Safety Information
3
Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments without the protective
cap installed on test probe. The protective cap decreases the
exposed probe metal to <4 mm. This decreases the possibility of
arc flash from short circuits.
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.
Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or
missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation around the
terminals.
Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads
for damaged insulation and measure a known voltage.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60Vdc.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or
between each terminal and earth ground.
Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product
operates correctly.
Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate
the Product.
Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove
the live test lead before the common test lead.
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the battery
door is opened.
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories that are not
necessary for the measurement.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to
prevent incorrect measurements.
Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.
Place test leads in proper input terminals.
Do not work alone.
