Multimeter maintenance
Any internal intervention can only be performed outside the danger zone.
3.5.1. Fuse self-test
When the intrinsically safe F1 fuse (0.500 A ; 125 V) is blown, the display shows "FUSE"
accordingly.
Replace the fuse.
"
Fuse F1 cannot be tested unless the switch is set to the µ µ µ µ A mA position.
