Measurement Considerations

1. Do not apply voltage to the meter input terminals. Meter damage may result.
2. Always insure that the circuit to be measured is switched OFF, isolated and
completely de-energized before connecting the test leads.
3. If the Over Temperature LED (NO TEST) indicator is lit, allow the instrument to
cool down before proceeding further.
4. The R led indicates when the test current falls out of regulation. Selecting a higher
C
range may eliminate the condition.
5. The R led indicates when the voltage on the device under test is too high.
P
Selecting a lower range may eliminate the condition.
6. If either the R
7. The current terminals are fuse protected.
8. Keep the potential test leads as short as possible. Long leads may introduce noise.
9. When using the four separate alligator clip leads always place the current leads
outside the potential leads.
