Maintenance and Service

Equipment Maintenance and Service
Meter Inspection
Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to ensure case is
not cracked.
Test Lead Inspection
Inspect and replace test leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or probes
are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
Battery Inspection/Replacement
Inspect the battery compartment monthly for any signs of degradation. Low battery
voltages will cause inaccuracies in readings. Remove the batteries for storage
or if the meter will not be used for longer than one month. Battery leakage will
compromise the safety of the meter and cause irreparable damage to internal
components.
Shock Hazard. Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing the battery
cover. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.
Maintenance and Storage
Switch off and disconnect the meter completely before carrying out any
maintenance. Clean the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents. Keep away from liquids and ensure the meter is completely
dry before use.
