Safety Information - Amprobe AC75B Manual De Uso

To ensure safe operation and usage of the meter, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe warnings can result in severe injury or death.
•
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
•
Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter,
inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular
attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
•
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal.
Check the test leads for continuity.
•
Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.
•
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
•
Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be
impaired. When in doubt, have the meter serviced.
•
Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter,
between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Before use, verify the meter's operation by measuring a known
voltage.
•
When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting
the meter in the circuit. Remember to place the meter in series with
the circuit.
•
Do not attempt to repair this meter. There are no user serviceable
parts.
•
Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V peak, or 60 V
dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards
on the probes.
•
Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead.
When you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
•
Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door.
•
Do not operate the meter with the battery door removed or
loosened.
•
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock
or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery
indicator (N) appears.
•
Only use a 9 Volt battery, properly installed in the meter case, to
power the meter.
•
To avoid the potential for fire or electrical shock, do not connect the
thermocouple to electrically live circuits.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
