Special markings have been added to the panel to remind
you of safety.
a. Add the appropriate number in this chart to the dB scale
reading. See “Decibel Measurements.”
b. Be extra careful when making measurements for high
voltage; do not touch terminals or probe ends.
c.
To
avoid
electrical
shock
and/or
instrument
damage,
do
not
connect
the
common
input
terminal
(-jack)
to
any source
of
more
than
500
volts
with
respect
to
earth/ground.
d.
The
maximum
voltage
or
current
that
can
be
measured
between
these
terminals
is
1O0OV
AC, 250V
DC
and
500mA
OC.
e. Refer to the following complete operating instructions.
f. The inner resistance of this tester is 50 kohm (DC) or 10
kohm (AC) per volt with the Range Doubler Switch in the V-
A/2 position; 25 kohm (DC) or 5 kohm (AC) per volt with the
Range Doubler Switch in the V-2Q-A position.
g. 0 dB means that 1 milliwatt is dissipated in a 600 ohm
impedance.
‘ SETTING UP YOUR
Battery Installation METE
You will need to install one 9-volt battery for the 20
Megohm (R X 10K) range and continuity range, and one AA
1.5V penlight battery for other resistance ranges. We
recommend our 23-583/553 for 9V, 23-582/552 for AA.
Be sure that the test leads are disconnected.
Open the cabinet by removing the 3 screws from the back
and install the batteries in the correct compartments.
Observe proper polarity. Close the cabinet and tighten the
screws.
Remember:
Never
leave
weak
or
dead
batteries
in
your
unit.
Even
“leak-proof”
ones
may
leak
damaging
chemicals.
Also,
if
you
are
not
going
to
use
your
unit
for
a
week
or
more,
remove
the
batteries.
