Warnings; Cautions - Ideal 61-737 Manual De Operación Y Seguridad

Arc Flash and Shock Hazard, Proper PPE Required. Follow all safety procedures,
wear proper PPE in accordance to NFPA 70E and follow the guidelines below and
the instructions in this manual when operating the meter. Failure to comply can
result in serious injury or death.
• Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, dust, or vapor, or during electrical
storms, or in wet environments.
• When measuring, keep fingers behind the Tactile Barrier. See "The Meter" on
pg. 8 and 9.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the
batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (
• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing the battery door.
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC RMS or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.
• Always ensure that test leads are secured so that they cannot be accidentally
snagged or tripped over.
• Do not work alone so that assistance can be rendered in an emergency.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact
with the conductor could result in electric shock.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must
be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors
are exposed.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you
measure resistance, continuity, or capacitance.
• Do not measure current in circuits carrying more than 600V or 400A with the
Meter Jaw.
• Never operate the Meter with the back cover removed or the case open.
• Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Meter damage, equipment under test damage or data loss can occur
if the following guidelines are not adhered to.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement application.
• Clean the case and accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergents only. Do
not use abrasives or solvents. Make sure the meter is completely dry before use.
