Unpacking And Inspection; Features; Making Measurements - Amprobe AM-420 User Manual

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter,
between the test probe or between any test probe and earth ground.
• Use the Meter with caution for voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or
60 Vdc. These voltages pose electrical shock hazards.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
testing resistance, continuity and diode.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter's case.
• If the meter is used in a manner not specified in the users manual, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• To avoid injury, when the "battery low" indicator is present in the display,
the product should NOT be used. A false measurement may occur. The
battery should be replaced immediately.

MAKING MEASUREMENT
X�
1. Use the proper function and range for measurements.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury or damages to the Meter,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
testing resistance, continuity and diode.
3. Connecting test leads:
• Connect the common (black) test lead to the circuit before connecting the
live lead;
• After measurement, remove live lead before removing the common
(black) test lead from the circuit
4. Over-range indication: "1", "-1", or maximum display reading.
