Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment can expose users to electrical shock, particularly when testing in areas with exposed high voltage. An electrical shock with 10 milliamps of current passing through the heart can be fatal, and voltages as low as 35 volts DC or AC RMS should be considered dangerous. Users should follow accepted practices to prevent contact with high voltage and steer current away from the heart in case of accidental contact. Specific precautions include:
1. The DC output of the power supply generally poses little shock risk, but certain test conditions can create hazards:
a. A serious shock hazard exists with “hot chassis” equipment unless it is unplugged or specific precautions are observed.
b. If the equipment under test is powered and uses high voltage, the power supply outputs may float to the potential at the connection point. High voltage may appear unexpectedly in defective equipment. Do not float the power supply output to more than 100 volts peak with respect to chassis or earth ground.
c. Discharge high-voltage capacitors before making connections or tests, as some circuits retain high voltage even when turned off.
2. Use a polarized 3-wire AC outlet to ensure the power supply chassis, case, and ground terminal are connected to a good earth ground, reducing shock risk.
3. Avoid unnecessary exposure to high voltage. Remove housings and covers only when necessary, turn off equipment while making test connections in high-voltage circuits, and discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.

Basic Usage and Operation Tips
Before using the Bk-precision-1651, ensure the device is properly calibrated and the battery is fully charged. Select the desired measurement mode using the rotary switch. Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks and the circuit under test. For voltage measurements, connect the leads in parallel with the component; for current, connect in series. Use the Data Hold button to freeze the displayed value for easier recording. Always start with the highest range if unsure of the measurement level to prevent damage to the meter.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
If the display shows erratic readings or no response, check the test leads for damage and replace the battery if the display dims. Clean the device regularly with a dry cloth and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. If the meter fails to operate correctly after troubleshooting, consult the authorized service center for repair or calibration. Never attempt to open the device casing to avoid voiding the warranty.
Safety Reminder
Always observe safety precautions when working with electrical equipment. Do not exceed the maximum input limits specified in the manual. Avoid measuring live circuits with damaged test leads or if the device shows signs of malfunction. Use personal protective equipment as necessary and ensure the working environment is dry and free from hazards. Proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines will help prevent injury and equipment damage.
