Users Manual
Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact
with the conductor could result in electric shock.
Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must
be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors
are exposed.
When measuring, keep fingers behind the Tactile Barrier. See Figure 2.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you
do diode tests or measure resistance, continuity, or capacitance.
Do not measure ac/dc current in circuits carrying more than 1000 V or 1000 A
with the Meter Jaw.
Never operate the Meter with the back cover removed or the case open.
Do not measure ac current in circuits carrying more than 1000 V or 2500 A with
the Flexible Current Probe.
Do not apply the Flexible Current Probe around or remove from HAZARDOUS
LIVE conductors.
Take special care during fitting and removal of the Flexible Current Probe. De-
energize the installation under test or wear suitable protective clothing.
To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to equipment under test:
Use the proper jacks, function, and range for the measurement application.
