Read First -- Safety Information
Warnings (Continued)
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check for
test lead continuity. Replace damaged test leads as necessary.
Do not use the ProcessMeter or the Calibration Module if either operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the
instruments serviced.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the ProcessMeter
and the Calibration Module, between terminals or between any terminal
and earth ground.
When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
Connect the common lead (COM) before connecting the live test lead.
When disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
Remove test leads from the ProcessMeter before opening the battery
door.
Do not operate the ProcessMeter or Calibration Module around explosive
gas, vapor or dust.
During normal operation, use only a single properly installed 9 V battery
to power the ProcessMeter.
Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before you operate the
ProcessMeter.
During Calibration, use only specified calibration equipment listed in
Table 2. There are no substitutes for the battery eliminator, Calibration
Module, and Calibration Software.
During Calibration, properly connect the Calibration Module to the
ProcessMeter.
When servicing the ProcessMeter or the Calibration Module, use only
specified replacement parts.
Before measuring current, check the ProcessMeter's fuses, see "Testing
the Fuses" in the 787 Users Manual .
To avoid false readings, which can lead to possible electric shock or
personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator
( ) appears.
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the ProcessMeter or to the test instruments:
Disconnect the power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before
testing resistance, diode, or continuity.
Use the proper terminals, rotary switch setting, and range for the
measurement or sourcing application.
