GW Instek GDM-452 Operating Manual

GDM-452
Ⅰ．Introduction
The GDM-452 is a 20000-count handheld digital multimeter
with remarkably stable and reliable operation. It is mainly
supported with a dual integral A/D converter based on CMOS technology
and also offers overload protection for all ranges. This model can
measure DC&AC voltage, DC&AC current, resistance, capacitance,
diode, transistor, frequency and continuity.
Ⅱ．Safety Information
The GDM-452 is designed and manufactured in compliance with:
IEC61010-1, CATⅠ1000V, CATⅡ600V and CATⅢ300V overvoltage
standards.
Warnings
Use the meter as specified in the manual , otherwise the protection
offered by the multimeter may be impaired.
● Do not use the multimeter with back cover opened, it may cause
electric shock.
● Set to a proper range for your measurement.
● Check the test leads for any damaged insulation or broken wires.
● Insert red and black test leads into proper input terminals and ensure
good contact between them.
● Do not input signal beyond the rated values of the multimeter,
otherwise it may cause electric shock or damage to the multimeter.
● Prohibit switching the range during the voltage or current
measurement, for it may cause damage to the multimeter.
● Please use replacement parts with the same model or similar electrical
specifications.
● To avoid electric shock, Do not apply any voltage above 1000V
between COM and grounding.
● Please take caution when working voltage goes above 60VDC or
30VAC RMS.
● To ensure the accuracy, please replace the batteries as soon as
appears.
● Shut off the power timely after the measurements complete. Take out
the batteries if not used for a long time.
● Do not use the multimeter in places exposed to high temperature, high
moisture. The performance of the multimeter may be compromised if
moisture-affected.
● To prevent damage to the multimeter or personal injury, do not alter
internal wiring randomly.
● Clean the multimeter casing with slightly damped soft cloth and mild
agent. Do not use any abrasives and corrosives.
