Safety Information

Read and understand this Instruction

Manual completely before using this

instrument. Failure to observe the warnings

and cautions in this Instruction Manual may

result in injury or death, or damage to the

instrument and other equipment or

property.

If this instrument is used in a manner not

specified in these instructions, the protec-

tion provided by the instrument may be

impaired.

WARNING

-Examine the instrument and probes and

leads before use. Do not use the instru-

ment if it is wet or damaged, or if you

suspect it is not operating correctly.

-When using the instrument, test leads or

probes, keep your fingers behind the

finger guards.

-Remove the test lead from the instrument

before opening the battery cover or instru-

ment case.

-Always use the correct terminals, switch

position and range for measurements.

-Verify the instrument is operating correctly

by measuring a known voltage before

use. If in doubt, have the instrument

serviced.

-Do not apply more than the rated voltage

as marked on the instrument between

terminals, or between any terminal and

earth ground.

-Use caution when measuring voltages

above 30 Vac rms or 60 Vdc. These

voltages pose a shock hazard.

-To avoid incorrect readings that can lead

to electric shock, replace the battery as

soon as low battery indicator appears

in the display.

-Disconnect the circuit power and

discharge all high-voltage capacitors

before making resistance, continuity, or

diode measurements.

EN - 3

-Do not use the instrument in a Hazardous

Area or around explosive gasses or

vapours.

-Wear suitable Personal Protective

Equipment when working around or near

hazardous Live conductors which could

be accessible.

Caution

-Disconnect the test leads from the test

points before changing the position of the

function rotary switch.

-Never connect the instrument to a source

of voltage with the function rotary switch in

Ω/ ;/Aposition.

- If possible, do not work alone, so

assistance can be given if required.

-Do not expose the instrument to extremes

of temperature or high humidity.

The following symbols may appear on

the instrument and in this Instruction

Maintenance

Do not attempt to repair this Instrument. It

contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair

or servicing should only be performed by

qualified personnel. This instrument

should be calibrated yearly, or more

frequently if used in harsh conditions or if

it is suspected of being inaccurate.

For calibration and repair contact RS

Components - the address is given at the

end of these instructions.

Data Hold

Non-Contact Voltage Sensing:

VoltSenseTM

1. The VoltSense function will operate

irrespective of the position of the

function rotary switch, including the

OFF position.

2. Remove the test leads from the

instrument as they are not used for the

VoltSense test.

3. Press and hold the VoltSense button.

The LCD display will go blank, a tone will

sound and the red LED will illuminate

momentarily to confirm the instrument is

operational.

EN - 7

4. Hold the Volt sense button down and

move the instrument over the area

where detection is required. The buzzer

will sound and the LED will illuminate

when a live conductor is detected.

Release the VoltSense button to return

to normal operation.
