6.Measurement 6-1 Voltage measurement (Mains disconnection check) (1) Connect the Earth probe to the earth of the circuit under test and Line probe to the other side. If the circuit is not earthed, connect Earth probe to any appropriate conductor. (2) Take the reading on the LCD without pressing the Test button or Remote control switch.

(2) Connect the Earth probe to the earth terminal of the circuit under test. If the circuit is not earthed, connect the Earth probe to any appropriate conductor. (3) Connect the Line probe to the circuit under test and press the Test button or Remote control switch.
(6) Set the Range selector switch to the OFF position, and disconnect the probes from the instrument. DANGER N ever touch the circuit under test immediately after testing. Capacitance stored in the circuit may cause electric shock. Leave the test leads connected to the circuit until the LIVE LED and LIVE circuit warning stop flickering.

(3) Always replace all six batteries with new ones at the same time. (4) Screw the battery compartment lid back on before using the instrument. SCREW 8-2 Fuse Replacement (1) Disconnect the test probe from the FUSE instrument. BATTERY (2) Open the battery compartment cover SPARE FUSE by unscrewing the metal captive.
9-2 Neck strap and Cord case This instrument is equipped with a strap to suspend from the neck to allow both hands to be used freely for easy and safe operation. Fig. 15 9-3 Test prods and replacement 1. Types of Test prods MODEL8072: Standard Test prod Used for ordinary measurement.
2. How to replace Adaptors To remove the adaptors, pull them out. Then firmly attach the adaptor as desired to the tip of the Earth cord. Safety alligator clip Fig. 17 Test bar DANGER Disconnect the test leads from the instrument before replacing the test prods of the Line probe or the adaptors of the Earth cord in order to avoid a possible electric hazard.
