SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and
understood before the instrument is used. They must be
observed during use.
•
The circuit under test must be de-energised and isolated
before connections are made except for voltage measurement.
•
Circuit connections must not be touched during a test.
•
After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to
discharge before disconnecting the test leads.
•
The Live Circuit Warning and Automatic Discharge are additional
safety features and should not be regarded as a substitute for
normal safe working practice.
•
Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating.
Failure to fit the correctly rated fuse will result in damage to the
instrument in the event of an overload.

Test leads, including crocodile clips, must be in good order,
clean and have no broken or cracked insulation.
•
Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when
testing.
•
U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads
when measuring voltage on high energy systems.
