Tools – SPDM1 Autoranging pocket digital multimeter

Inspect the test leads for damage to the insulation or exposed metal. Do not use if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the meter is not operating properly. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any approved insulating material. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect the “RED” lead first, then the common lead. Work with others. Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. Do not measure resistance when circuit is powered. Do not apply more than rated voltage between input and ground. All voltage tests: All voltage ranges will withstand up to 600V. Do not apply more than 600VDC or 600VAC. AC tests: Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning any inductor off, including motors, transformers, and solenoids. High voltage transients can damage the meter beyond repair. Do not use during electrical storms. Maintenance Clean the exterior with clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid. Battery replacement: When the multimeter displays ” ” the battery must be replaced. Disconnect leads from test points, turn meter off, and remove the battery cover. Replace the battery with 2 NEDA # 1166A 1.5V batteries.
