Input Terminal Protection Limitation Protection limitation is defined for the input terminal. 1. Main Input (HI and LO) Terminals HI and LO terminals are used for Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Continuity, Frequency, Diode and Temperature measurement. Two protection limitations are defined: HI-LO protection limitation: 1000 VDC or 750 VAC.

Max. rated input voltage: 1000 Vrms Transient overvoltage: 4000 Vpk WARNING: Voltages above 300 VAC (for T3DMM4-5) or 600 VAC (T3DMM5-5 / T3DMM6-5) can only be measured in circuits that are isolated from mains. However, there may be transient over voltage in circuits that are isolated from mains.
Daily Maintenance and Cleaning Maintenance Protect the liquid crystal display from direct sunlight when storing or using the instrument. NOTE: To avoid damage to the instrument or test leads, please don’t place them in mist, liquid or solvent. Cleaning Regularly clean the instrument and test leads. ●...
It is always good practice to save the shipping container and packaging for use when returning the power supply to Teledyne LeCroy for service or calibration. The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damage to the instrument resulting from shipping.

Measurement Connections The Digital Multimeter is designed with many measurement functions. After selecting the desired measurement function, please connect the signal (device) under test to the multimeter according to the method below. Do not switch the measurement function when measuring as it may cause damage to the multimeter. For example, when the test leads are connected to the related current terminals, AC voltage measurement should not be used.
