CAUTIONS

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand

this user manual before operating the meter.

Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating

the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.

Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or

35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before

performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the

uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used

to ensure that the terminals are not "live".

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous objects

as well as small parts that children could swallow. In case a child swallows any of the parts,

please contact a physician immediately

Do not leave batteries and packing material unattended; they can be dangerous for children.

In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the

batteries to prevent them from draining.

Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with skin. Always use

suitable hand protection.

See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not put batteries into fire.

EX430A-en-GB_v6.0 7/16

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III

This meter meets the IEC 61010-1 (EN 61010-1), 2010, 3rd edition standard for OVERVOLTAGE

CATEGORY III. Cat III meters are protected against overvoltage transients in fixed installation at the

distribution level. Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some equipment for

industrial use with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed

below must be carefully followed for safe operation.

1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:

Input Protection Limits

Function Maximum Input

V DC or V AC 600V DC and AC, 200Vrms on 400mV range

mA AC/DC 500mA 600V fast acting fuse

A AC/DC 10A 600V fast acting fuse (30 seconds max every 15

minutes)

Frequency, Resistance, Capacitance,

Duty Cycle, Diode Test, Continuity

250Vrms for 15sec max

Temperature 60V DC/24V AC

2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.

3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 600V above earth

ground.

4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the

current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter.

5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making

resistance or diode tests.

6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace

the fuse or battery.

7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse covers are in place

and fastened securely.
