Introduction; Safety Instructions; Precautions - KPS PA420 Manual De Instrucciones

1.Introduction

WARNING
Make sure to read and follow all safety procedures
to avoid electric shock and/or injury.
The MS2030 is a safe, reliable, yet small handheld 3 ½
digit digital clamp meter. Capable of measuring AC
current, AC/DC voltage, resistance, diode's forward
voltage drop, and continuity, it's ideal for both home
users and professionals.

2.Safety Instructions

The MS2030 meets EN61010-1 safety requirements for
electrical testing instruments and handheld digital
multimeters. It's designed to comply with EN61010-1
with a CAT III 600V safety rating and pollution degree of 2.
• All safety guidelines outlined should be followed
otherwise the protection provided by the instrument
may be impaired.
• Warning symbols in the manual alert users of potential
dangerous situations.
• Precautions are to prevent the user from damaging
the instrument or the test object.

2.1 Precautions

To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or
damage to the meter, please observe the following:
1. Before using the meter, check the meter for damage
during transport.
2. Check the test leads for damage to the insulation or
wires before use.
01
3. Ensure the meter works properly by testing a known
voltage first. If not working properly, have the meter
serviced before using.
4. Never exceed the protection limit values indicated
in the specifications for each range of measurement.
5. Always use caution when making voltage
measurements above 60V dc or 30V ac rms.
6. Make sure to use the correct input jack, function and
range when measuring.
7. Do not place the meter in any environment with dust,
explosive gas or vapor.
8. Always keep fingers behind the probe barriers.
9. Connect the common test lead first, then the hot lead.
Disconnect in reverse order.
10. Turn off power and discharge capacitors before
measuring resistance, diodes or continuity.
11. Failure to follow safety guidelines may prevent the
meter's built in protection from working properly.
12. To avoid damage or incorrect readings, check for AC
voltage present before making DC voltage
measurements.
13. Do not use the meter with the battery cover not
securely in place.
14. When the " "symbol appears, replace the batteries
to avoid incorrect readings
15. Before opening the case, always disconnect test
leads from all energized circuits.
16. Only use the test leads provided with the meter.
Replace only with similar leads with matching
specifications.
17. Do not touch input jacks during measurement to
avoid electric shock.
18. Before switching functions, remove test leads from
an circuit.
