Page 10: Test Lead Considerations
CAT III 1000V and CAT III 600V installations. Do not measure voltages > 1000V AC/DC (VT8-1000) or > 600V AC/DC (VT8-600). Remove the storage caps from the meter end of the test leads before connecting the test leads to the meter. -
Page 11: Ac/Dc Current Measurements
5.8 AC/DC Current Measurements WARNING: Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to more than 1000V AC/DC (VT8-1000) or 600V AC/DC (VT8-600). This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons. -
Page 12: Non-Contact Ac Voltage Detector
5.9 Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector WARNING: It is possible for voltage to be present in a circuit even if the meter does not beep or flash the NCV LED lamp. Always verify meter operation on a known live AC current circuit and verify that the batteries are fresh before use. -
Page 13: Resistance Measurements
5.10 Resistance Measurements CAUTION: Switch OFF power to the device under test before measuring. Do not test on circuits or devices where 60VDC or 30VAC is present. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V/Ω) jack. -
Page 14: Continuity Measurements
5.11 Continuity Measurements Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive terminal. Set the function switch to the position. Use the MODE button to select the Continuity mode Touch the test probe tips across the wire or circuit under test. If the resistance is <... -
Page 15: Capacitance Measurements
5.12 Capacitance Measurements WARNING: To avoid electric shock, remove power to the circuit under test and discharge the capacitor under test before measuring. Do not test on circuits or devices where 60VDC or 30VAC is present. Set the function switch to the position. -
