Warnings
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with
caution. The warnings listed below must be carefully followed for safe
operation.
1.
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum Input Protection Limits:
Function
Maximum Input
V DC or V AC
1000VDC/AC RMS
mA AC/DC
500mA 1000V fast acting fuse
A AC/DC
10A 1000V fast acting fuse (20A for 30
seconds max every 15 minutes)
Frequency, Resistance, Capacitance,
Duty Cycle, Diode Test, Continuity
1000VDC/AC RMS
Temperature
1000VDC/AC RMS
Surge Protection: 8kV peak per IEC 61010
2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages
3.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the “COM” input jack
exceeds 1000V 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
opening 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
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired
