WARNING
Read First: Safety Information
This tester complies with UL3111-1, Cat
III-600 overvoltage protection, Pollution
Degree 2. Use the tester only as specified
in this manual; otherwise, the protection
provided by the tester may be impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies con-
ditions and actions that pose hazards to the
user. A Caution identifies conditions and
actions that may damage the meter or the
equipment under test.
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or person-
al injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use tester if it is damaged.
Visually inspect tester to ensure case is
not cracked and battery cap is in place.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is
damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are
cracked. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Do not use tester if it operates abnor-
mally as protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or
in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust,
or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated volt-
age to the tester. Voltage is not to
exceed 600V.
• Always operate this solenoid-type tester
within the specified duty cycle on the
front of the tester. Duty cycle ratio is:
• 1:15 ON:OFF time.
• Maximum ON time is 15 seconds.
• Do not use without batteries and cap
properly installed.
• Remove test leads prior to removing
battery cap.
Caution
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC
pose a shock hazard so use caution.
• Never ground yourself when taking
electrical measurements.
• Use appropriate personal protective
equipment such as safety glasses, face
shields, insulating gloves, insulating
boots, and/or insulating mats.
• Use the 3-Step Testing Method. Before
each use:
• Perform a continuity test by touching
the probe tips together, an audible
sound should be heard and the con-
tinuity LED should light. This test
verifies the functionality of the batter-
ies and test leads (61-086 only).
