Safety Information
Use of instrument in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair
safety features/protection provided by the equipment. Read the following safety
information carefully before using or servicing the instrument. To avoid electric
shock or fire, do the following:
• Avoid working alone.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test
lead continuity. Damaged leads must be replaced. Do not use the Meter if it
looks damaged.
• Be careful when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and
60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers away from probe contacts. Keep
your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of additional
operating circuits connected in parallel or by transient currents.
• Verify operation prior to measuring hazardous voltages (voltages above 30 V
ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc).
