MegOhmMeter Safety Information Safety Information XW 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 hazardous voltage is shown on the display, disconnect test leads and remove power from the circuit under test. XW 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 before the test has been completed and the test voltage at the terminals has returned to zero. This ensures that any charged capacitance is fully discharged. • Ensure there is no power to the circuit under test and that all circuit capacitances are fully discharged prior to testing with this instrument. • Avoid working alone or around explosive 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 circuits connected in parallel can adversely affect measurements. • Place test leads in proper input terminals. • Do not use the Meter with any parts or cover removed. • Use only Fluke approved replacement parts, and accessories as specified in this manual. • Do not use the Meter if the safety shutter is impaired in any way. The safety shutter (see Frontispiece) prevents access to the test terminals and charger terminals 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 systems with voltages higher than 660 V. 3

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 hazardous 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 before the test has been completed
and the test voltage at the terminals has returned to zero. This
ensures that any charged capacitance is fully discharged.
•
Ensure there is no power to the circuit under test and that all circuit
capacitances are fully discharged prior to testing with this
instrument.
•
Avoid working alone or around explosive 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 circuits connected in parallel can
adversely affect measurements.
•
Place test leads in proper input terminals.
•
Do not use the Meter with any parts or cover removed.
•
Use only Fluke approved replacement parts, and accessories as
specified in this manual.
•
Do not use the Meter if the safety shutter is impaired in any way. The
safety shutter (see Frontispiece) prevents access to the test
terminals and charger terminals 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 systems with voltages higher than 660 V.
