[WARNING ]
Pay attention when testing conditions exceed 60V DC, 30V AC rms or 42.4V AC Peak that can
cause an electric shock. Do not connect the Ground wire to voltage higher than 0V DC, 30V
AC rms or 42.4V AC Peak.
Use only the proper accessories supplied with the meter. Rechargeable Battery Pack, AC
Power Adapter and Internal Charger, Test Lead, Probe, Logic/Signal Cable set. Warranty
will not cover Meter Measurement failure or damage from improper accessories other than
supplied by manufacturer of the Meter.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect Test Leads, Probes or Cables to the Meter before
connecting to the active circuit to be tested. Disconnect Leads, Probes or Cables from the test
circuit prior to disconnecting them from the meter.
Testing Probe always connected with Testing Circuit in series.
Replace the Ni-MH Battery Pack only with an equivalent from the Manufacturer. Remove
AC Power Adapter, Test Lead, Probe and Cable from Meter when replace the Battery.
When the Battery Warning Symbol is blinking on the display, the measurement may display
in error. Recharge the battery or replace.
Observe all terminal ratings. Observe all rating and marking oin the Meter. Refer to
Operator manual for detailed information.

General Maintenance
Wet or Dusty Input Terminals can cause incorrect measurement readings.
Cleaning procedure is as follows.
① Power off the Meter and separate Test Lead/Probe from Meter.
② Reverse the Meter Top Side and Bottom Side and remove the dust in the terminal by
shaking the meter.
③ Clean the Exterior Cases with soft detergent or wet cloth. Do not use Solvent or an
abrasive.
④ Clean cotton swab wet with Alcohol may be used to clean out the surface of Input
Terminals.
To ensure proper measurements, make sure to use the correct input terminals for that type of
measurement..
Do not test voltages above the ratings of the meter inputs..
 Battery Replacement
Do not short or reverse the polarity to discharge Battery.
Do not attempt to recharge, non-rechargeable batteries.

 When Battery low signal is blinking, In the model SBS-600, replace with New AA Alkaline
battery cell as soon as possible. In the model SBS-700, recharge the battery pack as soon as
possible.
 If Battery is completely depleted, and needs to be replace with a new battery, please replace
battery using the following procedure.
① Remove the Holster Case from the Meter.
② Remove Battery Cover from the Rear Case of the meter.
③ Replace Battery and be sure to connect correct polarity inside the battery compartment.
④ Close Battery Cover and assembly in reverse order of above when opening Battery
Compartment
 Battery Charge (model SBS-700 only).
 Do not discharge battery with reverse polarity.
 Do not use any other Rechargeable Battery. Use only the 7.2 V NiMH battery pack supplied
from original manufacturer.
 Connect the Battery with the proper polarity.
When charging the battery, use only the AC Adapter and Internal charger supplied from the
original manufacturer.
 Please follow Battery Charging procedure.
① Connect the DC Power adapter to Power Outlet.
② Plug charging connector into the SBS-700.
③ When Charging is completed, “FULLY CHARGED” message is displayed on the screen.
④ If Battery is fully charged, disconnect DC Power Adapter.
⑤ Do not charge Battery while meter is being use
 Fuse Replacement
If the Fuses open due to fault, Replace fuses using the procedure below ;
① Power off the Meter. Disconnect Test Lead from Meter.
② If DC power adapter is connected, disconnect the adapter from the meter.
③ Separate Battery Cover from meter.
④ Pull out one end of defect Fuse from Fuse Clip.
⑤ Replace with same size and rating Fuse. Fuse should be placed in center of Fuse Clip.
⑥ Do not touch any other component besides Fuse.
⑦ Assemble the Battery Cover to the meter
⑧ Fuse Ratings and Dimensions are as below ;
