1.4 Maintenance 

 

  Before  opening  the  meter,  always  disconnect  test  leads  from  all  sources  of 

electric current. 

  For  continue  protection  against  fire,  replace  fuse  only  with  the  specified 

voltage and current ratings : 

 

     F : F 200mA/250V 

  If  any  faults  or  abnormalities  are  observed,  the  meter  can  not  be  used  any 

more and it has to be checked out. 

  Never use the meter unless the back cover is in place and fastened fully. 

  To  clean  the  meter,  use  a  damp  cloth  and  mild  detergent  only,  do  not  use 

abrasives or solvents on it.
