WARNING

Read First: Safety Information

Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. Use the meter only as

specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by the meter may be

impaired.

WARNING

To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death, follow these

guidelines:

• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to ensure

case is not cracked and back case is securely in place.

• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or probes

are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the

connectors.

• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.

• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.

• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.

• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.

• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing battery cap.

• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.

• Replace batteries as soon as low battery indicator appears to avoid false

readings.

• Comply with local and national safety requirements, including the use of

appropriate personal protective equipment.

CAUTION To protect yourself, think "Safety First": • Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution. • Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, 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.

OPERATION: Non-contact voltage (NCV) With the NCV tab on the tip of the clamp close to an AC voltage, press the NCV button. The NCV LED will light and the beeper will sound. The closer the NCV tab is to AC voltage, the louder the beep. To differentiate between hot and neutral in an outlet, insert the NCV tab into each slot in the outlet. The beeper will be much louder on the hot side of the outlet than the neutral. The test lead can also be used to differentiate between the hot and neutral.

Battery Replacement: • Ensure test leads are disconnected from circuit or components. • Remove test leads from input jacks on meter. • Remove the two screws from the battery cap. • Remove the battery cap. • Replace batteries with two "AAA" batteries. • Assemble the battery cap to the meter and re-tighten the screws. Measuring Resistance (Ohms): • Verify the circuit is de-energized to obtain accurate measurements. 61-746 Ω V V CLAMP CAT.
