Safety InformationThis Meter complies with the standards IEC61010 safetymeasurement requirement: in pollution degree 2,overvoltage category (CAT. III 600V) and doubleinsulation.

CAT II: Local level, appliance, PORTABLE EQUIPMENTetc., with smaller transient voltage overvoltages thanCAT. III

Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may beimpaired.

Danger identifies conditions and actions that posehazard(s) to the user.Warning identifies avoiding electric shock.Caution identifies conditions and actions that maydamage the Meter and carrying out accuratemeasurement.

Danger

Use of instrument in a manual not specifed by themanufactuer may impair safety features/protectionprovided by the equipment. Read the followingsafety information carefully before using orservicing the instrument.

Do not apply more than 600V.Do not use the Meter around explosive gas,vapor or dust.Do not use the Meter in a wet environment.When using the test leads, keep your figuresaway from the lead contacts. Keep yourfigures behind the finger guards on the leads.Do not use the Meter with any parts or coverremoved.

International electrical symbols used on the Meter andin this Operating Manual are explained on page 8.

Operating Caution identifies conditions that userneeds to take extra care during operating the Meter

Warning

Do not use the Meter if it is damaged or metalpart is exposed. Look for cracks or missingplastic.Be careful when working above 33V rms, 46.7Vac rms or 70V DC. Such voltages pose a shockhazard.Discharge all loading of circuit under test aftermeasuring high voltage.Do not change battery when the Meter is inwet environment.Place test leads in proper input terminals.Make sure all the test leads are firmlyconnected to the Meterís input terminals.Make sure the Meter is turned off whenopening the battery compartment.

Caution

When performing resistance tests, remove allpower from the circuit to be measured anddischarge all the power.When servicing the Meter, use only the samemodel number or identical electricalspecifications of test leads and power adaptor.Do not use the Meter if the battery indicator( ) shows a battery empty condition. Takethe battery out from the Meter if it is not usedfor a long time.Do not use or store the Meter in anenvironment of high temperature, humidity,explosive, inflammable and strong magneticfield. The performance of the Meter maydeteriorate after dampened.Soft cloth and mild detergent should be usedto clean the surface of the Meter whenservicing. No abrasive and solvent should beused to prevent the surface of the Meter fromcorrosion, damage and accident.Dry the Meter before storing if it is wet.

When carrying out insulation measurement,do not contact the circuit under test.

Battery Saver (Sleep Mode)The Meter enters the Sleep Mode and blanks the displayif there is no button press for 15 minutes. This is doneto conserve battery power. The Meter comes out ofSleep Mode when ON/OFF button is pressed and holdfor 1 second.

Battery IndicationThere is a battery indicator shows on the display upperleft hand corner. Below Table 3 is the explanation:

Battery Voltage

10V or less. It means the battery isempty, donít use the Meter as it cannotguarantee accuracy.10V~10.5V. It means the battery isnearly empty, replacing battery isnecessary. At this status, the Meter canstill do 500V and 1000V outputmeasurement, accuracy will not beaffected.10.6V~11.5V11.6V or more

Operating Caution

When performing insulation resistance tests,remove all power from the circuit to bemeasured and discharge all the power.Operating the Meter must be very careful as itoutputs dangerous voltage duringmeasurement. Must make sure the tested objectis firmed clipped, hands are away from theclips, then press TEST button to put highvoltage.Do not short circuit the testing leads duringhigh voltages output or test insulationresistance after high voltages output. This kindof incorrect operating may cause sparking andfire, which damages the Meter and harms toyou.Do not measure over 10 seconds when:500V measure resistance lower than 2M1000V measure resistance lower than 5M2500V measure resistance lower than 10M5000V measure resistance lower than 20M

MaintenanceThis section provides basic maintenance informationincluding battery replacement instruction.

Warning

Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unlessyou are qualified to do so and have the relevantcalibration, performance test, and serviceinformation.

A. General Service

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth andmild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.To clean the terminals with cotton bar with detergent,as dirt or moisture in the terminals can affectreadings.Turn the Meter to OFF when it is not in use.Take out the battery when it is not using for a longtime.Do not use or store the Meter in a place of humidity,high temperature, explosive, inflammable and strongmagnetic field.

If the Meter is wet, dry it before use.

26


B. Replacing the Battery

Warning

To avoid electric shock, remove all the test leadsfrom the Meter when replacing the batteries.

Operating Caution

Donít mix to use old and new batteries.Be careful the polarity is correct when installingbatteries.Do not use the Meter if the battery indicator( ) shows a battery empty condition.Do you carry out measuring during the batterycompartment is open.

Figure 8. Battery Replacement

Follow Figure 8 and proceed as follows to replace thebattery:

Turn the Meter to OFF and remove all connectionsfrom the terminals.Remove the screw from the battery compartment,and separate the battery compartment from the casebottom.Replace with 8pcs of new 1.5V (LR14) batteries.Rejoin the case bottom and battery compartment,and reinstall the screw.
