In this manual, a Warning identifies the conditions and

procedures that cause a dangerous situation to the user.

A Caution identifies the conditions and procedures that

could cause damage to the Meter, equipment under test

damage, or permanent data loss.

The symbols used on the Meter and in this manual are

shown in Table 1.

XWWarning

To prevent possible electrical shock or

personal injury, follow these guidelines:

•Use this Meter only as specified in this

manual or the protection can be

compromised.

•Do not use the Meter if it is damaged.

Before you use the Meter, examine the

case. Look for cracks or missing plastic.

Carefully look at the insulation around

the terminals.

•Make sure the battery door is closed and

locked before you operate the Meter.

•Replace the batteries when the battery

indicator () appears.

True-rms Remote Display Digital Multimeter

Safety Information

•Remove the test leads from the Meter

before the battery door on the Meter

base is opened.

•Examine the test leads for damaged

insulation or exposed metal. Measure the

test leads for continuity. Replace

damaged test leads before you use the

Meter.

•Do not apply more than the rated

voltage, shown on the Meter, between

the terminals or between a terminal and

earth ground.

•Do not operate the Meter with the battery

door removed or the case open.

•Be careful around voltages >30 V ac rms,

42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages

pose a shock hazard.

•Use only the replacement fuse specified

by the manual.

•Use the correct terminals, function, and

range for measurements.

•Do not work alone.

•For current measurements, connect the

Meter to the circuit after you remove

circuit power. Always put the Meter in

series with the circuit.

•Connect the common test lead before

the live test lead and remove the live test

lead before the common test lead.

•Do not use the Meter if it operates

incorrectly. Protection can be

compromised. If you are unsure, have

the Meter examined.

•Do not use the Meter around explosive

gas, vapor or in damp or wet

environments.

233

Getting Started Manual

•Use only specified 1.5-V AA batteries

(three in the Meter base and two in the

display), correctly installed, for Meter

power.

•Comply with local and national safety

requirements when in hazardous

locations.

•Only use test leads that have the same

voltage, category, and amperage ratings

as the Meter and that are approved by a

safety Agency.

•Measure a known voltage first to make

sure that the Meter operates correctly. If

you are unsure, have the Meter

examined.

•Use protective equipment, as directed by

local or national authorities when in

hazardous work areas.

•Measure the test leads for continuity

before use. Do not use if the resistance

is high or noisy.

•Use only specified replacement parts in

the Meter.

•Keep fingers behind the finger

guards on the probes.

WCaution

To prevent damage to the Meter or to the

equipment under test, follow these

guidelines:

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge

all high-voltage capacitors before you do

diode tests or measure resistance,

continuity, or capacitance.

•Use the correct terminals, function, and

range for all measurements.

•Before a current measurement, do the

fuse test.
