Safety & Warnings
An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current to pass through the heart will stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as low as 35 volts DC or AC rms should be considered dangerous and hazardous since it can produce a fatal current under certain conditions. Higher voltages are even more dangerous. Observe the following safety precautions:
1. Do not exceed the following input ratings. Personal injury or damage to the instrument may result:
– DC VOLTS: 1500 V (DC + AC peak)
– AC VOLTS: 1000 V rms
– OHMS: 500 VDC or AC rms
– mA: 200mA (fuse protected)
– 20A: 10A continuous, 20A up to 30 seconds (no fuse protection)
– COM: Float voltage plus measured voltage must not exceed 1500 V (DC + AC peak).
2. Never use the multimeter unless the case is closed.
3. Remove test leads before replacing batteries or fuses, and before performing any servicing on the multimeter.
4. Use only safety type test leads like those supplied with the multimeter.
5. Turn off equipment while making test connections in high-voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.
6. For voltage or current measurements in high voltage equipment, do not touch equipment, meter, or test leads while power is applied.
7. If possible, familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points.
