o Read the following
safety
information
carefully
before
attempting
tooperate
orservice
themeter.
o The circuit
under
test must be de-energized
and isolated
before
connections
aremade
except
for
voltage
measurement.
o Circuit connections
mustnotbetouched
during
atest'
o After insulationtest, capacitatecircuits must be allowed to
discharge
before
disconnecting
the
testleads'
o To avoiddamageto the instrument
do not applysignals,
which
exceed
the maximum
Iimitsshowninthe
technical
specification
tables.
r Do not use the meteror test leadsif they look damaged.
Use
extremecaution
when workingaround bare conductors
or bus
bars.
o Use the meter only as specified
in this manual;
otherwise,
the
protectionprovided
bythemeter
maybeimpaired.
r Caution
whenworking
withvoltages
above60V DC or 30 V AC
RMS.Such
voltages
pose
ashock
hazard.
o Before taking resistance measurements
or testing acoustic
continuity,
disconnect
circuitfrom mains power supply and all
loads
from
thecircuit.
