Safety Precautions

Observe the following safety precautions when using the DVM connected to the mobile device:

  • Follow safety procedures for the equipment being tested. Inspect test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test lead continuity. Damaged leads should be replaced.

  • To avoid electrical shock and damage to the mobile device, do not use the mobile device when working with voltages greater than that supported by the DAQ (data acquisition) card or measuring current, except across a shunt.

  • To avoid electrical shock and damage to the mobile device remove test leads before replacing the mobile device battery or connecting to a desktop or laptop computer. Set up the mobile device with the correct test function and voltage range.

  • BEFORE MAKING ANY VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT GREATER THAN 42 VOLTS AC OR DC: Disconnect any cable from the Remote Trigger input and replace the rubber cap before making voltage measurements using the red and black banana jacks.
