W Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Carefully read all instructions. Read safety information before using or
servicing the tester.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective
equipment (approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame resistant
clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
• Use the product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the
product can be compromised.
• Do not work alone.
• Consider mechanical risks and risks of rotating mechanical parts. Comply
with local and national safety codes.
• Do not use the tester or test leads if they appear damaged. Examine the
tester and test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check
test lead continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the tester.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V AC RMS, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC. These
voltages pose electrical shock hazards. Keep fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes and alligator clips.
• To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or
personal injury, check the battery and verify operation beforehand on a
known source.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest
rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory.
• If the tester is used in a manner not specified in the users manual, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of additional
operating circuits connected in parallel or by transient currents.
• Do not use the PRM-6 with any of the parts removed.
• Disconnect the test leads from energized circuits and from the tester
before opening the battery cover.
• Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
• Have the tester serviced only by qualified service personnel.
• Only use the test lead sets provided with the tester. Alternative test
leads may not fulfill the requirements of EN 61557-7.
