Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. If this tester is not used
in a manner specified by IDEAL, protection provided by the product may be
impaired.
WARNINGS
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death follow these
instructions:
• Do not use if meter appears damaged.
• Visually inspect the meter to ensure case is not cracked and back case is
securely in place.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or
probes are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding
the connector.
• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.
• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.
• Remove the test leads from the meter before removing battery cap.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.
• Disconnect power and discharge capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity or insulation.
• Replace battery as soon as low battery indicator
false readings.
• Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurements.
• Use care as this tester outputs a high voltage to measure insulation
resistance.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements, including the use of
appropriate personal protective equipment.
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, face
shields, insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.
• Before each use:
- Perform a continuity test by touching the test leads together to
verify the functionality of the battery and test leads.
- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter operation by measur-
ing a known voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to
the known live voltage again to ensure proper operation.
