SAFETY INFORMATION Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the meter. To avoid damages to the instrument do not apply the signals which exceed the maximum limits shown in the technical specifications tables. Do not use the meter or test leads if they look damaged.
Safety symbols: Caution refer to this manual before using the meter. Dangerous voltages. Meter is protected throughout by double insulation or reinforced insulation. When servicing, use only specified replacement parts. CE Comply with EN-61010-1 1. SPECIFICATIONS 1-1 General Information Environment conditions: ①...

3. INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS a)Turn the function switch from the “OFF” position to the left(4000 MΩ/1000V---4000/ MΩ500V---4000 MΩ/250V---1000 MΩ/125V) ,and chose one of the voltage-block( there are 4 ranges namely, 4 MΩ40 MΩ400 MΩ4000 MΩ, can be switched automatically for every voltage-block.) b)Connect two testing lines to the tested;...
4.LOW RESISTANCE (CONTINUITY) MEASUREMENTS a). Set the range switch to 400Ω/BZ Position b). Connect the red test lead to the V Ω terminal and black to the COM terminal. c). Connect the tips of the test leads to both ends of the circuit under The two test.
6.BATTERY SAVER (SLEEP MODE) The meter will automatically enter the “sleep mode” if there is no function change or button press for 10minutes, but it works as soon as you turn the rotary function switch or push down any button 7.POWER TOOLS AND AMALL APPLIANCES This test would also apply to other similar equipment that has a line cord.

CABLES Disconnect the cable from the line. Also disconnect opposite end to avoid errors due to leakage from other equipment. Check each conductor to ground and /or lead sheath by connecting one megohmmeter lead to a ground and /or lead sheather and the other megohmmeter lead to each of the conductors in turn.
If your model has since been discontinued, an equivalent Sper Scientific product will be substituted if available. This warranty does not cover probes, batteries, battery leakage, or damage resulting from accident, tampering, misuse, or abuse of the product.
