B. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
WARNING
: Please follow manufacturers test
procedures whenever possible. Do not attempt to
measure unknown voltages or components until a
complete understanding of the circuit is obtained.
Read instructions before operating:
Be sure these instructions accompany the tool when
passed from one user to a new or inexperienced user.
Equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
ALWAYS
•
Test the EEDM504D before using it to make sure
it is operating properly.
•
Inspect the test leads before using to make sure
there are no breaks or shorts.
•
Double check all connections before testing.
•
Have someone check on you periodically if
working alone.
•
Have complete understanding of circuit being
measured.
•
Disconnect power to circuit then, connect test
leads to the EEDM504D, then to circuit being
measured.
NEVER
•
Attempt to measure unknown high voltages.
•
Attempt to measure current with the meter in
parallel to the circuit.
•
Connect the test leads to a live circuit before
setting up the instrument.
•
Touch any exposed metal part of the test lead
assembly.

EC Declaration of Conformity
This is to certify that model EEDM504D conforms to the
protection requirements of the council directive
89/336/EEC, in the approximation of laws of the member
states relating to Electromagnetic compatibility and
73/23/EEC, The Low Voltage Directive by application of the
following standards:
EN61326 : 1997 + A1 + A2 : 2001
EN61010-1 :2001 Safety Standard
To ensure conformity with these standards, this instrument
must be operated in accordance with the instructions and
specifications given in this manual.
CAUTION:
Even though this instrument complies with the
immunity standards, the accuracy can be affect-
ed by strong radio emissions not covered in the
above standards. Sources such as hand held
radio transceivers, radio and TV transmitters,
vehicle radios and cellular phones generate
electromagnetic radiation that could be induced
into the test leads of this instrument. Care
should be taken to avoid such situations or
alternatively, check to make sure that the
instrument is not being influenced by these
emissions.
