Safety Information
This meter complies with EN 61010-1:1993, ANSI/ISA S82.01-1994 and CAN/CSA
C22.2 No. 1010.1-92 Overvoltage Category II. Use the meter only as specified in the
Users Manual, otherwise the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user; a Caution
identifies conditions and actions that might damage the meter. International electrical
symbols used on the meter are shown below.
W Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
• Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before use, inspect the
case for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Always turn off power to the circuit before cutting, unsoldering,
or breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be
dangerous.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal.
Check test lead continuity. Replace damaged leads.
• To avoid damage or injury, never use the meter on unprotected
circuits that exceed 4800 volt-amps.
• Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be
impaired. When in doubt, have the meter serviced.
• Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
• Do not apply more than 300 V dc or ac rms (sine) between
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Before each use, verify the meter’s operation by measuring a
known voltage.
• When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
• Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60
V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probe when
making measurements.
• Connect the common test lead before connecting the live test
lead. Disconnect the live test lead first.
• Remove test leads from the meter before opening the case.
• Use only a single 9 V battery, properly installed in the meter case,
to power the meter.
• Follow all equipment safety procedures.
• Before measuring current, check the meter’s fuses (see “How to
Test the Fuse”).
• Never touch the probe to a voltage source when the test leads are
plugged into the 10 A input jack.
