Safety
Terms in this manual
WARNING identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even
death to the user.
CAUTION identifies conditions and actions that could cause damage or malfunction in
the instrument.
This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the
instrument safely and maintaining the instrument in a safe operating condition. If the
instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by the instrument may be impaired. The meter is intended only for indoor use.
The meter protection rating, against the users, is double insulation per IEC61010-1 2nd Ed., EN61010-1 2nd
Ed., UL61010-1 2nd Ed. and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010.1-0.92 to Category II 1000V AC & DC.
Terminals (to COM) measurement category:
V :
Category II 1000V AC & DC
A & mA
µ
A : Category II 450V AC & DC
Per IEC61010-1 2nd Ed. (2001) Measurement Category
Measurement Category II (CAT II) is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with
voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock
hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being tested while power is
applied to the circuit being measured. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards of the
test leads during measurement. Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged
insulation or exposed metal before using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace
them immediately. Do not measure any current that exceeds the current rating of the
protection fuse. Do not attempt a current measurement to any circuit where the open
circuit voltage is above the protection fuse voltage rating. Suspected open circuit voltage
should be checked with voltage functions. Never attempt a voltage measurement with the
test lead inserted into the
µ
A/mA or A input jack. Only replace the blown fuse with the
proper rating as specified in this manual.
