1. SAFETY INFORMATION

Read the following safety information carefully before

attempting to operate or service the meter.

To avoid damages to the instrument do not exceed the

maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical

specification tables.

Do not use the meter or test leads if they look damaged.

Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors

or bus bars. Accidental contact with the conductor could

result in electric shock.

Use the meter only as specified in this manual; otherwise,

the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.

Read the operating instructions before use and follow all

safety information.

Caution when working with voltages above 60VDC or

30VAC RMS. Such voltages cause a shock hazard.

Before taking resistance measurements or testing acoustic

continuity, disconnect circuit from main power supply and

all loads from circuit.

Safety symbols

Caution refer to this manual before using the meter.
