WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
• Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring a known voltage.
• DO NOT use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the category
based rating of this meter.
• DO NOT use the meter during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• DO NOT use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.
• Use ONLY with CAT IV rated test leads.
• Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep fingers away from the metal
probe contacts when making measurements.
• DO NOT open the meter to replace batteries while the probes are connected.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS or 60V DC.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock, replace batteries
when a low battery indicator appears.
• DO NOT attempt to measure resistance or continuity on a live circuit.
• Make sure the circuit under test does not include components that can
be damaged by 1000VDC; such devices include power factor correction
capacitors, low voltage mineral insulated cables, electronic light dimmers,
and ballast/starters for fluorescent lamps.
• DO NOT perform insulation resistance testing or earth-bond resistance
testing if voltage is present on parts of an installation or equipment under
test. Circuits under test (except for voltage measurements) must be
de-energized and isolated before connections are made.
• Circuit connections must not be touched during a test. Accidental contact
with conductors could result in electrical shock.
• After insulation resistance testing, make sure the circuit is fully discharged
before removing test leads. LCD should read close to zero volts.
• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal protective
equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
• Meter is IP40 dust & water resistant, except for the test lead jacks.
Following any contact with water, thoroughly dry meter and test lead jacks
prior to subsequent use.
