DocumentDocumentANALOG MULTITESTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL KF-20 FOR SAFETY MEASUREMENTS!! To prevent an electrical shock hazard to the operator and/or damage to the instruments, read this instruction manual carefully before using the Multitester. WARNINGS with the symbol on the Multitester and this instruction manual are highly important. Important Symbols The symbol listed in IEC 61010-1 and ISO 3864 means "Caution (refer to instruction manual)". WARNING : The symbol in this manual advises the user of an electrical shock hazard that could result in serious injury or even death. CAUTION : The symbol in this manual advises the user of an electrical shock hazard that could cause injury or material damages. WARNING Do not measure High Power Line that might exceed 2kVA. Measurement on High Power Line is very dangerous. It sometimes includes High Surge Voltage that could cause dangerous arcs of explosive short in the instrument and could result in serious injury to the operator. When measuring high voltage, even for Low Power Line (Low Energy Circuit), take extra care to avoid electrical shock hazard and/or damage to the instrument.
