Safety
A "XW Warning" identifies conditions or actions that pose hazards to the user.
A "W Caution" identifies conditions and hazards that may damage the Calibrator
or equipment under test.
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the Calibrator:
• Use the Calibrator only as described in this Instruction Sheet.
• Using the Calibrator in a manner not specified by the manufacturer might
impair the protection provided by the Calibrator.
• Do not use the Calibrator to make measurements in a CAT II, CAT III, or
CAT IV environment.
CAT I equipment is designed to protect against transient from high-
voltage, low-energy sources, such as electronic circuits or a copy
machine.
• Do not use the Calibrator around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
• Inspect the Calibrator before use. Do not use it if appears damaged.
• Check the test leads for continuity, damaged insulation, or exposed metal.
Replace damaged test leads.
• Never apply more than 30 V between any two terminals, or between any
terminal and earth ground.
• Use the proper terminals, mode, and range for your measuring or sourcing
application.
• To prevent damage to the unit under test, put the Calibrator in the correct
mode before connecting the test leads.
• When making connections, connect the COM test lead before the live lead;
when disconnecting, disconnect the live lead before the COM lead.
• Never use the Calibrator with the case open.
• Make sure the battery door is closed before you use the Calibrator.
• Replace the battery as soon as the M (low battery) symbol appears to
avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock.
• Remove test leads from the Calibrator before opening the case or battery
door.
• To avoid a violent release of pressure in a pressurized system, shut off the
valve and slowly bleed off the pressure before you attach or detach the
pressure sensor or Pressure Module fitting to the pressure line.
When servicing the Calibrator, use only specified replacement parts.
When using pressure pressure modules, to avoid damage to the
Calibrator module connections, follow all procedures in the pressure
module instruction sheet.
When using pressure sensor connections, to avoid damage to the
Calibrator or equipment to which it is attached:
• To avoid overpressure damage, do not apply pressures that exceed
ranges listed under "Pressure Specifications".
