International Electrical Symbols B AC-Alternating Current W See Explanation in Manual F DC-Direct Current T Double insulation (Protection Class II C Either DC or AC I Fuse J Ground • Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead. • Follow all safety procedures for equipment being tested. Disconnect the input power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors through a protective impedance before testing in the Ω and L functions. • When making a current measurement, turn the power off before connecting the meter in the circuit. • Check meter fuses before measuring current transformer secondary or motor winding current. (See "Fuse Test" in the "Maintenance" Section.) An open fuse may allow high voltage build-up, which is potentially hazardous. Getting Started Quickly Getting Started Quickly Examine the meter carefully, familiarizing yourself with the layout of the input terminals, rotary switch, pushbuttons and display. Notice the Warning information and summary of power-on options engraved into the rear panel. If you have used a multimeter before, simply examining your meter will probably give you a good idea how to use it. The following procedure is an overview of how to take basic measurements. Warning To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter, do not apply more than 1000V between any terminal and earth ground. 1. Insert the test leads in the appropriate input terminals (see Table 2). If the test leads are in the wrong input terminals when the meter is turned on and the beeper has not been disabled, the beeper will emit a warning. See "Input Terminals and Input Alert", below. 3 MyFlukeStore Find QuaSlhitoypPforordFulucktespOrondliuncetsato:nline awt:ww.wGwlo. balTestSupply.com.com [email protected]
