Safety Notices

CAUTION

A CAUTION notice denotes a haz-

ard. It calls attention to an operat-

ing procedure, practice, or the likes

of that, if not correctly performed

or adhered to, could result in dam-

age to the product or loss of impor-

tant data. Do not proceed beyond a

CAUTION notice until the indicated

conditions are fully understood and

met.

WARNING

A WARNING notice denotes a

hazard. It calls attention to an

operating procedure, practice, or

the likes of that, if not correctly

performed or adhered to, could

result in personal injury or death.

Do not proceed beyond a WARN-

ING notice until the indicated

conditions are fully understood

and met.

Safety Considerations

Read the information below before using this multimeter. The descriptions

and instructions in this manual apply to the Agilent U1271A and U1272A

Handheld Digital Multimeters (hereafter referred to as the multimeter).

The model U1272A appears in all illustrations.

CAUTION

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors

before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

•Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your

measurements.

•This device is for use at altitudes of up to 2,000 m.

•Never measure voltage when current measurement is selected.

•Always use the specified battery type.

WARNING

• Do not use the multimeter if it is damaged. Before you use the

multimeter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic.

Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the

connectors.

• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal.

Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads

before you use the multimeter.

• Do not operate the multimeter around explosive gas, vapor, or wet

environments.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage (as marked on the

multimeter) between terminals, or between terminal and earth

ground.

• Never use the multimeter in wet conditions or when there is

water on the surface. If the multimeter is wet, ensure that the

multimeter is dried only by trained personnel.

• Before use, verify the multimeter's operation by measuring a

known voltage.

U1271A/U1272A Service Guide V

WARNING

• When measuring current, turn off the circuit power before

connecting the multimeter in the circuit. Remember to place the

multimeter in series with the circuit.

• When servicing the multimeter, use only the specified

replacement parts.

• Use caution when working above 60 V DC, 30 V AC RMS, or 42.4 V

peak. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• Be aware of the presence of hazardous voltage before using the

Low Pass Filter (LPF) function for voltage measurement. Voltages

measured are usually greater than what indicated on the

multimeter as the voltages with higher frequencies have been

filtered through the LPF function.

• Do not use the ZLOW (low input impedance) function (U1272A

only) to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by

this function’s low input impedance of 2 kΩ.

• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger

guards on the probes.

• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test

lead. When you disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead

first.

• Remove the test leads from the multimeter before you open the

battery cover.

• Do not operate the multimeter with the battery cover or portions

of the cover removed or loosened.

• To avoid false readings, which may lead to possible electric shock

or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery

indicator appears and flashes.
