Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech MN15 MultiMeter. The MN15 offers AC/DC
Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Diode, and Continuity testing plus Type K thermocouple
temperature measurements. Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of
reliable service.
Safety
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device
indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating
Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to the meter.
This
WARNING
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This
CAUTION
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which
if not avoided, may result damage to the product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be
connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth
ground exceeds 600V.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being
associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to
particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its
test leads should not be handled when these terminals are energized.
This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by double
insulation or reinforced insulation.
•
Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and
understand this user manual before operating the meter.
•
Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
•
Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before
operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.
•
Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC
rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.
•
Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before
performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
•
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the
uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should
be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".
•
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
•
Disposal: Follow all legal stipulations regarding disposal of this device at the end of
its lifecycle
•
This device is not a toy and is not intended for children. It contains hazardous
objects as well as small parts that the children could swallow. Should a child
swallow any part, contact a physician immediately.
•
Do not leave batteries or packing material lying around, they can be dangerous for
children if they use them as toys.
•
In the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the
batteries.
•
Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with skin. Always,
use gloves when handling damaged batteries.
•
See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into fire.
