Installation Instructions

• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, vapor,
amperage or in damp or wet environments.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to
the tester.
• Remove the test leads from the input jacks
before measuring current.
• Remove the test leads from the meter prior to
removing battery cover. (61-076, 61-080)
• Do not use without the battery and battery
cover properly installed. (61-076, 61-080)
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no
user-serviceable parts.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to ground
or neutral before applying the red test lead to
potential voltage. Disconnect the red test lead
from the voltage first.
• Keep fingers behind the guard rings of the
probe tips.
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a
shock hazard so use caution.
CAUTION
To protect yourself, think “Safety First”:
• Comply with local and national safety codes.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as face shields,
insulating gloves, insulating boots,
and/or insulating mats.
• Before each use:
- Perform a continuity test by touching the
test leads together to verify the functionality
of the battery and test leads.
- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify
meter operation by measuring a known
voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under test.
(3) Return to the known live voltage again to
ensure proper operation.
• Always work with a partner.
