Facom 715 Manuel D'utilisation page 17

When in Relative Mode or in MIN mode, the symbol «REL» or «MIN» is displayed. Caution must be used because hazardous voltage
●
may be present.
Before you do insulation resistance test, make sure that the object to be tested is without power. To avoid electric shock, do not
●
touch the object under test and any naked conductor with your hand or skin.
Comply with local and national safety requirements when you work in hazardous locations. Use correct protective equipment, as
●
required by local or national authorities when you work in hazardous areas.
Do not work alone.
●
Do not use the meter in a manner not specified by this manual or the safety features of the Meter may be impaired.
●
Remaining endangerment: When an input terminal is connected to dangerous live potential it is to be noted that this potential can
●
occur at all other terminals!
CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients in equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution
●
panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and lighting systems in large buildings.
Do not use the meter for measurements within Measurement Categories IV.
●
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, follow these guidelines:
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before testing resistance, diode, continuity and insulation resistance.
●
Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurements.
●
Before measuring current, check the meter's fuse and turn off the power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
●
Before rotating the range switch to change functions, disconnect test leads from the circuit under test.
●
Remove test leads from the meter before opening the meter case or the battery cover.

INSTRUCTION
Function/Range Switch
Turn on the meter by selecting a measurement function. The meter provides
a standard display for the function (range, measurement units, etc.).
Use the relevant buttons to select other functions, such as Data Hold, range
selection, Relative mode and so on.
For more detailed information about the functionrrange switch, see Figure 1 and
Table 1.
