MEASURING CABLES
Important Safety Information
• The cable to be tested should be evaluated for the presence
of voltage with a voltage measurement device by a qualified
professional before beginning work with the Cable Length Meter.
The cable should be disconnected from any voltage source before
beginning work.
• The Cable Length Meter should NOT be used on energized cable
systems.
NOTE: It is important that the included accessories be used
correctly in order to ensure quick and accurate testing. The length
of the included test leads is automatically excluded from the length
measurement. If alternate test leads are used, the length must be
manually deducted from the length displayed on the Cable Length
Meter. See SETTING PREFERENCES section to disable this option.
