2. SafetyInformation

Toensurethesafeoperationandserviceofthemeter,followtheseinstructionsclosely.Failureto

observewarningscanresultinsevereinjury.



WARNINGS

WARNINGSidentifyhazardousconditionsandactionsthatcouldcauseBODILYHARMorDEATH.

Whenhandlingtestleadsorprobes,keephandsandfingersbehindthefingerguardsatalltimes.

Removetestleadsfromthemeterbeforeopeningthebatterycompartmentormeterhousing.

UsethemeteronlyasspecifiedinthisUserGuideoraccompanyingQuickStarttoavoidcompromising

theprotectionsprovidedbythemeter.

Besuretousetheproperterminals,switchpositions,andrangeswhentakingmeasurements.

Verifythemeter’soperationbymeasuringaknownvoltage.Havethemeterservicedifthemeter

respondsunusuallyoriftherearequestionsregardingthemeter’sfunctionalintegrity.

Donotapplymorethantheratedvoltage,asmarkedonthemeter,betweenterminalsorbetweenany

terminalandearthground.

ReplaceblownfuseswithfusesofthesametypeandratingasspecifiedinthisUserGuide.

Usecautionworkingwithvoltagesabove30VACRMS,42VACpeak,or60VDC.Thesevoltagesposea

shockhazard.

Toavoidmisleadingreadingsthatcouldleadtoelectricshockandinjury,replacethebatteriesassoonas

thelowbatteryindicatorisdisplayed.

Disconnectpowertothecircuitundertestanddischargeallhigh‐voltagecapacitorsbeforetesting

resistance,continuity,diodes,orcapacitance.

Donotusethemeterinthepresenceofexplosivegasorvapor.

Toreduceriskoffireorelectricshock,donotusethemeterifitiswetanddonotexposethemeterto

moisture.

IndividualprotectiveequipmentshouldbeusedifHAZARDOUSLIVEpartsintheinstallationwhere

measurementsaretobecarriedoutcouldbeaccessible.

CAUTIONS

CAUTIONSidentifyconditionsandactionsthatcouldcauseDAMAGEtothemeterorequipment

undertest.Donotexposethemetertoextremesintemperatureorhighhumidity.

Disconnectthetestleadsfromthetestpointsbeforechangingthepositionofthefunction(rotary)

switch.

Donotexposethemetertoextremesintemperatureortohighhumidity.

Neversetthemetertotheresistance,diode,capacitance,micro‐amp,orampfunctionswhen

measuringthevoltageofapowersupplycircuit;thiscouldresultinmeterdamageanddamagetothe

4. Operation

CAUTION:ReadandunderstandalloftheSafetystatementslistedinthesafetysection

ofthismanualpriortouse.

PoweringtheMeter

1. Turntherotaryfunctionswitchtoanypositiontopowerthemeter.Checkthebatteriesifthe

unitfailstopowerON.RefertotheMaintenancesectionforbatteryandfusereplacements.

2. TurnthefunctionswitchtotheOFFpositiontopowerOFFthemeter.

3. ThemeterhasanAutoPowerOFFfeature(APO)wherethemeterswitchesOFFafter20

minutesofinactivity.WhenAPOisenabled,theAPOiconwillshowonthedisplaywhenthe

meterispoweredON.TodisableAPO,refertothenextsection.

Note:Themeterdisplaysthebatterycapacitywhenpoweringup.Thedisplaywilleithershowthe

wordFULL(batteryfullycharged)orapercentagerepresentingremainingbatterypower.The

internationalsegmentedbatterystrengthsymbolisalsoshownonthedisplayatalltimeswhen

themeterisONandwhenthereissufficientbatterypowertopowerthemeter.

DisableAutoPowerOFF

ThemeterwillautopowerOFFafter20minutesofinactivity.Todefeatthisfeature,followthe

stepsbelow.
