SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution.
The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe operation.
1. NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum:
Input Limits
Function
Maximum Input
V DC or V AC
1000VDC/AC rms
mA AC/DC
400mA AC/DC
A AC/DC
10A AC/DC (20A for 30 seconds
maximum every 15 minutes)
Frequency, Resistance, Capacitance,
Diode Test, Continuity
600VDC/AC RMS
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
3.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack ex-
ceeds 600V above earth ground.
4.
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the
function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so
can damage the meter.
5.
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
6.
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before open-
ing the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
7.
NEVER
operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and
fuse covers are in place and fastened securely.
