SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Correct knowledge of electric measurements is essential to prevent unexpected danger such as operator's injury or damage to the instrument. Read the following precautions carefully for safety measurements. 3-1. WARNINGS WARNING 1. Checks of the Instrument and Test Leads Before measurement, check if there are no damage to the instrument and the test leads. Dust, grease and moisture must be removed. WARNING 2. Prohibition of High Power Line Measurement Do not measure High Power Line (High Energy Circuits) such as Distribution Transformers, Bus Bars and Large Motors. High Power Line sometimes includes High Surge Voltage that could cause explosive short in the instrument and could result in shock hazard. Generally, shock hazard could occur when the current between the circuit, that involves more than 30V AC or 42.4V DC, and ground goes up to 0.5mA or more. WARNING 3. Warning for High Voltage Measurement Even for Low Power Circuits of electric/electronic appliances, such as heating elements, small motors, line cords and plugs, High Voltage Measurements are very dangerous. To prevent electric shock hazard, pay careful attention not to touch any part of the circuit. WARNING 4. Warning for Dangerous Voltage Measurement For dangerous high voltage measurement, strictly observe the warnings below (see Fig. 1). Do not hold the instrument in your hands. Keep safety distance from the circuit to be measured and the test leads not to touch the dangerous voltage. Attach black and red alligator clips to the test lead pins. Shut down the power of the circuit when connecting test leads to the circuit to be measured. After measurement, shut down the power of the circuit again and discharge the all capacitors. Then, detach alligator clips (test leads) from the circuit. Alligator Black Clips Red Fig. 1 In case of live-line measurement, strictly observe the warnings below : (see Fig. 2) Do not hold the instrument in your hands. Keep safety distance from the circuit to be measured not to touch the dangerous voltage. Black test lead : Attach black alligator clip and connect to (earth) side of the circuit. Red test lead : Connect to (positive) side of the circuit. Red Black Fig. 2 WARNING 5. Warning for 12A DC Measurement 1. Set RANGE Switch to 600/12A position and insert red test lead to 12A terminal. (Insert black test lead to COM terminal.) 2. 12A DC range is not fuse-protected. Do not measure any current that might exceed 12A to prevent electric shock hazard and serious damage to the instrument. - 2 - 3. Do not measure any voltage in 12A DC range such as / terminals of car battery directly (fig. 3), or household wall socket (fig. 4). Red Black Car Battery Fig. 3 Household Wall Socket Black Red Fig. 4 WARNING 6. Correct Selection of Range Switch Always confirm that RANGE Switch is set to the correct position. Do not measure any voltage except in the DC.V and AC.V ranges. WARNING 7. Maximum Input Observance Do not measure any elements that might exceed the specified maximum input values of each measurement ranges. WARNING 8. Test Lead Detachment Detach test leads from the measuring circuit before changing RANGE Switch to another position or removing rear case for battery or fuse replacement. 3-2. GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WARNING 1. Children and the persons who do not have enough knowledge about electric measurements must not use this instrument. WARNING 2. Do not measure the electricity in naked of barefooted to protect yourself from electrical shock hazard. WARNING 3. Be careful not to get hurt with the sharp test lead pins. CAUTION 1.
