User Manual

iv
Do not clean the instrument, its switches, or its terminals with contact cleaners, abrasives,
lubricants, solvents, acids/bases, or other such chemicals. Clean the instrument only with a clean
dry lint-free cloth or as instructed in this manual.
Not for critical applications.
This instrument is not authorized for use in contact with the human body or for use as a component
in a life-support device or system.
Do not touch live circuits
Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified service-trained maintenance personnel who are
aware of the hazards involved when the instrument's covers and shields are removed. Under
certain conditions, even with the power cord removed, dangerous voltages may exist when the
covers are removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect the power cord from the instrument,
disconnect all other connections (for example, test leads, computer interface cables, etc.),
discharge all circuits, and verify there are no hazardous voltages present on any conductors by
measurements with a properly-operating voltage-sensing device before touching any internal parts.
Verify the voltage-sensing device is working properly before and after making the measurements
by testing with known-operating voltage sources and test for both DC and AC voltages. Do not
attempt any service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering first aid and
resuscitation is present.
Do not insert any object into an instrument's ventilation openings or other openings.
Hazardous voltages may be present in unexpected locations in circuitry being tested when a fault
condition in the circuit exists.
Servicing
Do not substitute parts that are not approved by B&K Precision or modify this instrument. Return
the instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure that safety and performance
features are maintained.
