SAFETY
INFORMATION
This meter has been designed
and
tested according
to
I EC Publication
348. Follow
all safety
and operating instructions
to ensure that
the meter is
used
safely and is
kept in
good
operating condition.
•
Never
use
the
meter if the meter
or
test leads look damaged.
•
Always turn off power
to
the circuit
before cutting,
unsoldering, or breaking
the circuit. Small
amounts of current can
be dangerous.
•
Never
measure resistance in
a circuit when
power is applied
to the circuit.
•
Never
touch the probes
to a voltage source when
the
test
leads are plugged into
the 10A or
300
mA input
jack.
•
To avoid damage or injury, never
use the
meter on unprotected circuits
that exceed 4800
volt-amps.
•
Never apply more than 1000V
dc
or
750V ac rms (sine) between any
input jack
and earth
ground.
•
Always
be
careful when
working with
voltages
above
60V
dc
or
30V
ac rms. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
•
Always keep your fingers
behind
the finger guards on
the probe
when
making
measurements.
•
Always
use a
high
voltage probe
to measure voltage if
the peak voltage might
exceed
1000V.
