G Safety Information
Understand and follow the operating instructions carefully.
G WARNING
Identify hazardous conditions and actions that could cause BODILY HARM or DEATH
■ When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
■ Personal protective equipment should be used if there are ACCESSIBLE HAZARDOUS
LIVE PARTS in the installation where measurement is to be carried out.
■ Remove test leads from meter before opening the battery door or meter case.
■ Use the meter only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by
the meter may be impaired.
■ Always use the proper input terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
■ Verify the meters operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the meter
calibrated.
■ Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between terminals
or between any terminal and earth.
■ Use caution with voltages above 30 V AC rms, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC. These voltages
pose a shock hazard.
■ To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace the battery as
soon as the low battery indicator blinks.
■ Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
■ Do not use the meter around explosive gas or vapour.
■ To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
■ Probe assemblies to be used for MAINS measurements shall be RATED as appropriate
for MEASUREMENT CATEGORY III or IV according to EN 61010-031 and shall have a
voltage RATING of at least the voltage of the circuit to be measured.
■ DO NOT USE the test leads if the internal white insulation layer is exposed.
■ DO NOT USE the test leads above maximum ratings of CAT Environment or voltage and
current that are indicated on the probe and probe tip guard.
■ Do not apply a current with a frequency that is higher than the frequency response
range specified in the Electrical Specifications section.
■ Do not apply or remove the clamp or test leads on or around uninsulated hazardous live
conductors where a potential to cause electric shock, electrical burns or arc flash exists.
