Maintenance
Fuse and Battery Replacement
WARNING:
Avoid electrical shock; remove test leads before opening case.
Do
not operate the meter or rotate the meter switch when the case
is open.
1.
To replace a battery or fuse, loosen the three screws in the case
back and remove the case by lifting up and forward.
Replace the battery with an
9
Volt alkaline battery.
2. To replace a fuse, firmly grasp the printed circuit boards (PC boards)
by the edges and lift up and out of the case.
Important:
To prevent contamination of the circuits, your hands must be clean
and the printed circuit board must be held by the edges.
Replace the fuses with the same type of fuse.
20A is a F20A, 600V high energy, fast acting fuse.
mA is a F500mA. 600V high energy, fast acting fuse.
Make sure the replacement fuse is centered in the fuse holder.
3.
Carefully re-insert the PC boards into the case. Re-assemble the
case, then fasten the three screws.
