  • Page 14: Safety

    If the analogue output lead is connected to a hand held oscilloscope, then the maximum working voltage that may be connected to any of the other oscilloscope inputs must be less than 300V RMS to Earth. • Located in the battery compartment is a slide switch, which selects either the instantaneous or RMS analogue output.
  • Page 15: Battery Replacement

    Safe operation of the instrument is the responsibility of the operator who must be suitably qualified and/or authorised. Maximum Safe Voltage Current :- 600V MAXIMUM AC RMS or DC between uninsulated conductor and ground and maximum frequency of 1kHz. This limitation applies to bare conductors only.
