fumes or moisture. Also, the fingers should never touch the metal parts of the test probes since body resistance can
cause erroneous readings - particularly on the high ohmmeter ranges.
Care:
Although this instrument is portable and rugged it should be treated with care. Do not drop it or handle It roughly.
Avoid placing it on a bench where machine tools are used or severe vibration is encountered.
When possible keep it in a place of moderate temperature. Avoid subjecting it to extreme temperatures and severe
temperature changes.
If the tester has not been used for a long period of time, rotate the switch in both directions several times to wipe the
switch contacts for good contact.
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
0-3 thru 0-300 Volts:
1.
Insert test leads in VOM and COM lacks
2
Set switch to appropriate DCV range
3
Connect probes across voltage to be measured
4
Read voltage on the black AC-DC scale
0-1200 Volts
1
Insert test leads in COM and 1200 VDC jacks
2
Set switch to 3 DCV position
3
Connect probes across voltage to be measured
4
Read voltage on the black AC-DC scale
DO NOT TOUCH THE VOM while it is connected to high voltage!
BE CAREFUL around high voltage!
