Safety Information
A Warning identifies hazardous conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution
identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment under test.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
•
Read all safety information before you use the Product.
•
Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can
be compromised.
•
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.
•
Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged or if the insulation
shows signs of wear.
•
Use Product-approved measurement category (CAT), voltage, and amperage
rated accessories (probes, test leads, and adapters) for all measurements.
•
Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged
insulation and measure a known voltage.
•
Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
•
The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the Product.
•
Do not work alone.
•
Use this Product indoors only.
•
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
•
Use only the external mains power supply included with the Product.
•
Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated
individual component of a Product, probe, or accessory.
•
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
•
Do not use a current measurement as an indication that a circuit is safe to
touch. A voltage measurement is necessary to know if a circuit is hazardous.
•
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
•
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.
•
De-energize the circuit or wear personal protective equipment in compliance
with local requirements before you apply or remove the flexible current probe.
•
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the battery door is
opened.
•
Do not use USB accessories when the Product is installed in environment with
wires or exposed metal parts with hazardous live voltage such as in cabinets.
•
Do not operate the touch screen with sharp objects
•
Do not use the Product if the protection film on the touch panel is damaged.
•
Do not touch the metal parts of one test lead when the other is still connected to
hazardous voltage.
