CAUTION
Make sure that the function selector switch is set to an
appropriate position before making measurement.
Be sure to set the function selector switch to the OFF
position after use. When the instrument will not be use for a long
period of time, place it in storage after removing the battery.
This is to avoid damage to the instrument by possible leakage
from the battery.
Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme
temperatures or dew fall.
Placing the instrument in temperatures of 50 or higher can
cause the instrument's case to deform and result in operation
failures.
Never apply voltage to the OUTPUT terminal. the terminal is not
electrically isolated from the internal circuits of the instrument.
Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CAT to CAT, and called measurement
categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring
instrument designed for CAT environments can endure greater
momentary energy than one designed for CAT.
CAT : Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical
outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT : Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an
AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
CAT : Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected
directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the
distribution panel to outlets.
CAT :The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,
and to the power meter and primary over-current
protection device (distribution panel).
