REPLACEMENT
OF BATTERY/FUSE
WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DISCONNECT MEAS-
URING TERMINALS
BEFORE REMOVING BATTERY OR FUSE.
ONLY
WITH SAME
TYPE
BATTERY OR FUSE. OPEN
OR FUSE. DO NOT
USE.
EE, RE-
Note: The fuse
will
blow when voltage
is
applied in resistance
or
current
mode. In this case, there will be no meter movement.
(Replace the fuse.)
To install
or replace the battery or fuse:
1. Disconnect
the test
leads.
2. Open the cabinet
by
loosening the three screws.
3.
Replace
the battery if necessary.
4.
If the fuse has
blown,
remove
it.
5. Insert
a
new
fuse, using only one of the same type/rating
(0.75A, 250V).
6. Close the cabinet and replace the
screws.
GOOD METER
MEASUREMENT PRACTICES
There
are some good general rules that apply
to the use of electrical meters.
Some are common-sense;
others are important safety precautions.
1.
CAUTION:
There is always the
possibility of
dangerous
voltages being
present
in any
piece of
electrical/electronic
equipment.
Always use
extreme caution
when making measurements
—
high voltage
may appear
at
unexpected
points in a suspected defective circuit.
2. When
making
measurements,
never stand on a wet or
damp floor. Do
not work on
or even near any grounded metal
object
—
for
example, a
metal work table, metal water or
gas pipes,
metal
electrical
conduit.
Accidental
contact between the grounded metal
object and the circuit
under test can
be lethal.
