1. Safety Information
With proper use and care, this digital multimeter will give
you years of satisfactory service.
1.1 Preliminary
1.1.1 When using the meter, the user must observe all
normal safety rules concerning:
- General protection against electric shock
- Protection of the meter against misuse.
1.1.2 When the meter is delivered, check whether it has
been damaged in transit.
1.1.3 After being stored and delivered under harsh
conditions, the meter should be checked and confirmed
whether any damages have been incurred.
1.1.4 Test leads must be kept in good condition. Before
using check whether the insulation on test leads has been
damaged and any wire has been exposed.
1.1.5 Use the test leads supplied to ensure operation
safety. If required, they must be replaced with test leads
of the same model or class.
1.2 During Use
1.2.1 Use the right input jack, function and range.
1.2.2 Do not take measurements that exceed the
protection limit values indicated in the specifications.
1.2.3 Do not touch the metal tips of the test leads when
the meter is connected to the circuit to be measured.
1.2.4 Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers when
taking a measurement with an effective voltage above
60V DC or 30V rms AC.
1.2.5 Do not take voltage measurement if the value
between the terminals and earth ground exceeds 600V.
1.2.6 Select the highest range if the value scale to be
measured in the manual range is unknown.
1.2.7 Disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test
before turning the rotary selector to change functions.
1.2.8 Do not measure the resistance, capacitance, diode
or continuity of live circuits.
1.2.9 Do not connect the meter to any voltage source
while the rotary selector is in the current, resistance,
capacitance, diode or continuity range.
1.2.10 Do not take capacitance measurements until the
capacitor to be measured has been fully discharged.
Be extremely careful when using this meter. Improper use of this device
can result in electric shock or destruction of the meter. Take all normal
safety precautions and follow the safeguards suggested in this manual.
To exploit full functionality of the meter and ensure safe operation,
please read carefully and follow the directions in this manual. If the
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
