- Before any measurement check that there is no voltage present on the circuit to be tested.

- Use the appropriate leads supplied with the instrument.

- At rest, the needle must indicate 0 on the voltmeter scale. If not, adjust it by means of the

central (6) zero reset screw.

- When the insulation measurement is finished, leave the instrument connected for a few

seconds to allow automatic discharge of the high tension of the device tested.

- During measurement of continuity or resistance, the voltage should be measured first.

The presence of a voltage van activate protection and necessitate changing the fuses.

ranges, the instrument is protected by an HBC fuse. On the

other ranges the instrument is statically protected on all the ranges from a voltage of
600V rms applied permanently between the terminals and from a voltage of 1000V rms
accidentally applied for less than 15 seconds between the terminals.

- Position the switch in the OFF position when the instrument is not used.
