Operation Manual

Elma 6700 side 41
DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the “COM” input jack exceeds 1000V above
earth ground.
NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the
current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter.
ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when
making resistance or diode tests.
ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to
replace the fuse or batteries.
NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse covers are in
place and fastened securely.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
