Introduction and Specifications
General Safety Summary 1
1-5
• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms,
42 V ac peak, or 42 V dc. These voltages pose a shock
hazard.
• Use only the replacement fuse(s) specified by the manual.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your
measurements.
• Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor, or
dust.
• When using probes, keep your fingers behind the finger
guards.
• When making electrical connections, connect the common
test lead before connecting the live test lead; when
disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before
disconnecting the common test lead.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or
capacitance.
• Before measuring current, check the Meter's fuses and turn
OFF power to the circuit before connecting the Meter to the
circuit.
• When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement
parts.
• To prevent damage to the Meter, do not change the position
of the Front/Rear switch while signals are applied to either
the front or rear input terminals.
