1.Safety Information
Measurement Limits
The protection circuitry of the multimeter can prevent damage to the instrument
and protect against the danger of electric shock, when the Measurement Limits
are not exceeded. To ensure safe operation of the instrument, do not exceed the
Measurement Limits shown on the front panel, it is dened as follows:
Main Input Terminals Measurement Limits
The Input and COM Input terminals are used for voltage, resistance,
continuity, frequency (period), capacitance, diode, and temperature test
measurements. The Measurement Limit is dened for these terminals:
Input to COM Input Measurement Limit
The measurement limit from Input to COM Input is 1000 VDC or
750 VAC, which is also the maximum voltage measurement. This limit can
also be expressed as 1000 Vpk maximum.
Current Input Terminal Measurement Limits
The measurement limit from 10A input terminal to COM Input terminal is 10A
(DC or AC).
The measurement limit from μA mA input terminal to COM Input terminal is
600mA (DC or AC).
Note that the current input terminals will always be at approximately the same
voltage as the COM Input terminal.
Measurement Category
The safety rating of the multimeter:
1000 V, CAT I
IEC Measurement Category I. The maximum measurable voltage is 1000 Vpk in
the HI -LO terminal.
600 V, CAT II
IEC Measurement Category II. Inputs may be connected to AC mains power (up
to 600 VAC) under Category II overvoltage conditions.
