This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating
the meter safely and maintaining the meter in a safe operating condition.
I f the meter is not used in a manner specified in this manual, the protection
provided by the meter may be impaired.
The Model 703 and Model 701 comply with IEC 1010-1 (1995), UL 3111-1 (6. 1994),
EN 61010-1 (1995), CSA C 22.2 No, 1010.1 - 92 ; Overvoltage 1000V Category III.
TERMS IN THIS MANUAL
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that could pose serious hazards to the
user. A Caution identifies conditions and act ions that could cause damage the
meter or the equipment under test.
Warning
Do not expose the meter to rain or moisture in order to reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock. To avoid any electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety
precautions when working with voltages above 60 V dc or 30V ac rms, t hese
voltage lev els pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Inspect tes t leads,
connectors and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the
meter. If any defects are found, replace them immediately. Do not touch test lead
t ips or t he circuit being test ed while power is applied to the circuit under test .
A lway s keep your fingers behind the f inger guards of the test leads during
measurement. Do not measure any circuit that draws more t han the protection
f use’s current rating. Do not attempt the protection fuse’s voltage rating. Never
attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead insert ed int o the mA µA or A
input terminal. When servicing t he meter, use only specified replacement parts.
Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door. Do not operate
t he meter wit h the batt ery door removed or loosened. To avoid f alse readings,
which could result in possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery
as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Avoid working alone.
Caution
Dis connect the t es t l eads f rom the test point s before changing funct ions .
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before test ing
resistance, continuity, capacitance or diodes. Always set the meter to the highest
range and work downward for an unknown value in t he manual ranging mode.
B efore measuring current , check the meter’s fuses and turn power OFF to the
circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
