  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION The Triplett 9055 6-in-1 Digital Multi-Tester is an autoranging ruggedized 3-3/4 digit (4000 count) precision Digital Multimeter with a large backlit high contrast LCD display and expanded measurement capabilities. In addition to the measurements performed by conventional multimeters, the 9055 also measures Sound Level, Light Level, Humidity, and Temperature.
  • Page 5 The 9055 is well suited for use in all test environments, from occasional use in residential applications, to everyday use by installers, home theater technicians, security technicians, electricians, HVAC technicians, and other professionals in the electrical and electronics industry.

    S AFETY INSTRUCTIONS ． ． ． ． This meter has been designed with safety in mind, but like all products of this type, must be operated carefully to obtain the best performance and avoid injury. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the following specified limits: Input Protection Limits Function...
  • Page 7 Read all instructions in this manual before using this meter. Failure to do so may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. Prior to using the meter in any situation which could result in injury to the user, in order to verify that the meter is functional and producing a valid reading, test the meter on a circuit(s) known to have potentials equivalent to the potential that is to be...
  • Page 8 Follow recommendations Trade Organizations or Regulatory Agencies whose scope encompasses the use of this meter. Failure to do so may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. Do not open this meter for maintenance without first disconnecting the test leads from all external circuitry.
  • Page 9 Check the condition of the test leads before making a measurement. Do not use the test leads if there is damaged insulation or exposed metal. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.10 Make sure test leads are properly inserted and seated in the meter's input jacks.
  • Page 10 Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.13 Insert the test leads in the jacks specified in the instructions performing particular tests. Inserting the test leads in incorrect jacks can damage the meter and/or injure the user.
  • Page 11 2.17 Do not attempt to measure a voltage source with the test leads plugged into the meter's uAmA or 10A jacks. Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure the user. 2.18 Do not rotate the Function switch with the test leads connected to the circuitry to be tested.
  • Page 12 hazard exists, when in fact, dangerous voltages or currents may be present. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.22 Use caution when working with voltages above 25 volts AC or 35 volts DC. Such voltages may cause a life threatening electrical shock.
  • Page 13 2.26 Do not use the meter if either the meter or the test leads are wet, either from exposure to the weather, or after cleaning the case of the meter. Doing so may cause injury to the user. 2.27 Do not attempt immediate use of the meter when bringing it from a cold environment to a warm environment.
  • Page 14 2.30 Do not touch the metallic portion of one test lead if the other test lead is connected to a live circuit. The current from the live circuit may pass through the meter and appear on the unconnected test lead. Failure to observe this warning may result in user injury.
  • Page 15 2.34 Do not use this meter to measure current in circuits whose open circuit voltage exceeds 600V AC/DC. The meter's fuses are rated at 600V max. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.35 When you use the meter to check a high-voltage circuit, do not try to connect both test leads at once.
  • Page 16 2.37 Do not use the meter if it does not appear to work correctly on all ranges and in all modes. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.38 Do not use the meter if it has undergone long-term storage under unfavorable conditions.
  • Page 17 2.41 To avoid damage to the meter and possible user injury, disconnect test leads from test points before changing the function/range. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.42 Avoid usage near strong magnetic fields (magnets, loudspeakers, transformers, motors, coils, relays, contactors, electromagnets, etc.).
  • Page 18 2.44 Avoid usage near strong RF fields (radio or television transmitters, walkie talkies, cellular phones, etc.). The meter may display readings that are in error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present. For example, the meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are actually present.
  • Page 19 2.47 The Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector in the 9055 may not detect the presence of AC voltage in all situations. In particular, a twisted 3 phase cable tends to cancel out its electrostatic field, which can make the cable appear to be "dead". Use caution and good work practices at all times, even when the 9055 indicates that AC voltage is not present.
