MegOhmMeter Safety Information 3 Safety Information Warning Before and after testing, confirm that the Meter does not indicate the presence of a hazardous voltage. (See Figure 3.) If the Meter beeps continuously and a ha zardous voltage is shown on the display, disconnect test leads and remove power from the circuit under test. Warning: Read Before Using the Meter • To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury: • Use the Meter only as specified in this manual. Otherwise the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired. • Do not disconnect the test leads be fore the test has been completed and the test voltage at the terminals has returned to zero. This ensures that any charged cap acitance is fully discharged. • Ensure there is no power to the circ uit under test and that all circuit capacitances are fully discharged prior to testing with this instrument. • Avoid working alone or around exp losive gas, vapor or dust. • Do not use the Meter in a wet environment. • Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test lead continuity. Replace damaged leads. Do not use the Meter if it looks damaged. • Use care when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. • When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards. • Impedances of additional operating ci rcuits connected in parallel can adversely affect measurements. • Place test leads in proper input terminals. • Do not use the Meter with an y parts or cover removed. • Use only Fluke approved repl acement parts, and accessories as specified in this manual. • Do not use the Meter if the safety s hutter is impaired in any way. The safety shutter (see Frontispiece) prevents access to the test terminals and charger termi nals at the same time. • There are no user replaceable parts inside the instrument. • Use the guard terminal only as specified in this manual. Do not allow other accessories or foreign objects to come into contact with the guard terminal as safety may be compromised. • Do not use in distribution system s with voltages higher than 660 V.
