Instruction Manual

WARNING

Read First: Safety Information

Understand and follow operating instructions carefully.

Use the meter only as specified in this manual; other-

wise, the protection provided by the meter may be

impaired.

WARNING

To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death follow these guidelines:

• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to ensure

case is not cracked and back case is securely in place.

• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or

probes are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the

connectors.

• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.

• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.

• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.

• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.

• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing battery cap.

• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.

CAUTION

To protect yourself, think "Safety First":

• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, face

shields, insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.

• Before each use:

- Perform a continuity test by touching the test leads together to verify the

functionality of the battery and test leads.

- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter operation by measuring a

known voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to the

known live voltage again to ensure proper operation.

• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.

• Connect the black common lead to ground before applying the red test lead to

voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.

• Always work with a partner.

• When using the probes, keep fingers as far behind the probe tips as possible.
