SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety precautions must be observed to ensure maximum personal
safety during the operation, service and repair of this meter:
▪
Read these operating instructions thoroughly and completely be- fore
operating your meter. Pay particular attention to WARNINGS which will
inform you of potentially dangerous procedures. The instructions in these
warnings must be followed.
▪
Always inspect your meter, test leads and accessories for any sign of
damage or abnormality before every use. If any abnormal conditions exist
(eg-broken test leads, cracked cases, display not reading, etc.), do not
attempt to take any measurements.
▪
Do not expose the instrument to direct sun light, extreme temperature or
moisture.
▪
Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch
exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground
potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber
shoes, rubber mats, or any approved insulating material.
▪
To avoid electric shock use CAUTION when working with voltages above 40
Vdc or 20 Vac. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
▪
Never exceed the maximum allowable input value of any function when
taking a measurement. Refer to the specifications for maxi- mum inputs.
▪
Never touch exposed wiring, connections or any live circuit when attempting
to take measurements.
▪
Do not attempt to operate this instrument in an explosive atmosphere (i.e. in
the presence of flammable gases or fumes, vapor or dust).
▪
When testing for the presence of voltage, make sure the voltage function is
operating properly by reading a known voltage in that function before
assuming that a zero reading indicates a no- voltage condition. Always test
your meter before and after taking measurements on a known live circuit.
▪
Calibration and repair of any instrument should only be performed by qualified
and trained service technicians.
▪
Do not attempt calibration or service unless trained and another person
capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
▪
Remember: Think Safety, Act Safely.
