1. Introduction This meter has been designed and tested in accordance with the CE safety requirements for electronic measuring apparatus, EN61010-1, EN61326-1, and other safety standards. Follow all warnings to ensure safe operation. 2. Safety Notes ● Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the meter.
● Observe the International Electrical Symbols listed below. Meter is protected throughout by double insulation or reinforced insulation. Warning! Risk of electric shock. Caution! Refer to this manual before using the meter. Alternating current. 3. Feature ● 3½ digital LCD (2000 counts). ●...
4. Measuring Methods OPERATION CAUTION Observe all safety precautions when the FUNCTION switch is set to either the 200MΩ(250,500V) or the 2000MΩ(1000V) position. Connect the meter test leads to the circuit under test before operating the TEST switch. Do not touch the clip ends of the test leads when the TEST switch is pressed.

● TEST switch: The TEST switch is normally OFF, spring loaded, momentary action switch which "turns on" the meter. The momentary action is a safety feature. The test voltage generated by the meter is automatically discharged when the TEST switch is released. Always check the following before testing: The "Battery Low"...

1. Select the required test voltage (250V, 500V or 1000V) by rotating the FUNCTION switch. 2. Connect the test leads to the instrument and to the circuit to be tested.(See connect diagram) If the "LIVE CIRCUIT" is light, do not press the TEST button and disconnect the instrument from the circuit.

When testing is complete ensure that the TEST switch is released before the test leads are disconnected. This is because the system may be charged up and it must be allowed to discharge through the instrument's internal discharge resistor. ● Continuity discharge (Resistance test) Warning Ensure circuit is not live before commencing testing.

6. Maintenance Caution Always disconnect the test leads from instrument before batteries or fuse replacement. ● Batteries Replacement: Please replace batteries when the "Battery Low" indicator was shown on the LCD. Disconnect the test leads from the instrument, remove the battery compartment lid and the batteries.
● Cleaning and Storage Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the batteries and store them separately.
