To be on the safe side,treat all two-wireac poweredequipmentas "hot chassis"unlessyou are sure it has an isolatedor eanh groundchassis.

1 3 On inslrumentsor any equipmentwith a three-wireac powerplug,only use a 3-wireoutlet.This is a safetyfeatureto keep the housingor other exposed elementsat eanh ground.

CAUTION 4. Connect black test lead to point of reference (common), red test lead to desired measuring point. The common should never exceed 600 V (DC + AC peak) with respect to earth ground. 5. Read voltage at related scale. For best accuracy, try to get a reading of al least 1/3 scale deflection.

Never apply a voltage to the input terminals when the reslslance function is selected to avoid damage to the meter. Before taking a resisfance measurement, make sure circuit under test is elect"cold", power rically off and any capacitors discharged.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS 3.

Shonleads together firmly and verify that pointer rests on exact zelo ohms lf needed, adjust the 0c, ADJ control to assure poinler rests on zero Repeal this check each time range is changed. lf pointer cannot be zeroed, one or both batteries may be weak See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual to check and/or replace the batteries.

4.

Connect test leads across component or circuit being measured. Obtain correct resistancevalue by multiplyingscale reading by X lactor (X1/X1o/etc) of range selected For besl accuracy, select a range that gives a reading as close as possible to the zero end of the scale.

CAUTION Never try to measure voltages greater than 12OOV. Higher voltages could damage the meter and/or increase the risk of electrical shock. To prevent instrument damage, always set the Function/Range selector to a range higher than the maximum voltage you expect to measure. lf the voltage is unknown, staft with the highest range. 1.
