1: INTRODUCTION
The Triplett Model 9005-A is a 3 1/2 digit, high reliability, handheld Digital Mul-
timeter with a large 1.15" high Liquid Crystal Display. At its core is an LSI (Large
Scale Integration) integrated circuit which uses dual slope A/D conversion for
stability and accuracy. The meter can measure AC and DC Voltage and Current,
Resistance, Transistor gain, Diode voltage drop, and Continuity. Auto Power Off
and Hold features enhance convenience, and Overload protection makes the meter
resistant to damage from accidental overloads.
2: SAFETY RULES & WARNINGS
WARNING!!!
This meter is NOT to be used to measure High Energy circuits (power
circuitry fused at greater than 4KW, such as distribution circuits, power
entrance circuits, etc.) or circuits classified by CE as CATEGORY III (CAT III).
2.1 Read all instructions in this manual before using this meter. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
2.2 Prior to using the meter in any situation which could result in injury to the
user, in order to verify that the meter is functional and producing a valid
reading, test the meter on a circuit(s) known to have potentials equivalent to
the potential that is to be measured. For example, before using the meter to
determine if an AC power line is energized with 120VAC, test the meter on a
line known to be energized with 120VAC. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the meter or injury to the user.
