This meter has been d esigned forsafe use, but m ust beoperated with
caution. The rules l isted b elow m ust be carefully followed forsafe o peration.
1. NEVER apply voltage orcurrent tothe meter that e xceeds the
specified maximum:
Input Limits
Function Maximum Input
VAC 600V DC/AC
VDC orVAC 600V DC/AC, 200Vrms on200mV range
mA DC 200mA 250V f ast a cting fuse
ADC 10A 250V f ast a cting fuse(30 seconds max
every
1 5 minutes)
Resistance, Continuity 250Vrms for 15sec max
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack
exceeds 500V above earth ground.
4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the
function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so
can damage the meter.
5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before
opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries.
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and
fuse doors are in place and fastened securely.
