100 EZ Digital Multimeter Instruction Manual SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WARNING: Please follow manufacturers test procedures whenever possible. Do not attempt to measure unknown voltages or components until a complete understanding of the circuit is obtained. GENERAL GUIDELINES ALWAYS • • • • • • Test the 100 before using it to make sure it is operating properly. Inspect the test leads before using to make sure there are no breaks or shorts. Double check all connections before testing. Have someone check on you periodically if working alone. Have a complete understanding of the circuit being measured. Disconnect power to circuit, then connect test leads to the 100, then to circuit being measured. CATEGORY RATINGS DEFINITIONS IEC 1010 Over Voltage: Cat II - 1000V CAT III - 600V Pollution Degree 2 CAT II - 1000V Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) II: Includes voltages encountered on the step down side of the transformer on the building and at a distance of 10 meters from the CAT III source. CAT III - 600V Installation Category (Overvoltage Category III: Includes voltage encountered on the distribution level with short distance to the main service connection. Pollution Degree 2 Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected. NEVER • • • Attempt to measure unknown high voltages. Connect the test leads to a live circuit before setting up the instrument. Touch any exposed metal part of the test lead assembly. 2 3 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WARNING: Please follow manufacturers test procedures whenever possible.

Battery Replacement: The 265 will display a battery symbol when the internal 9 Volt battery needs replacement. The battery is replaced as follows: a. Disconnect and remove all test leads from live circuits and from the 265. b. Loosen the screw from the back of the 265 battery cover. c. Remove the battery compartment cover. d. Remove old battery and replace with new battery. Observe the correct polarity on the battery. e. Reassemble the instrument in reverse order from above. 2. Cleaning your 265: Use a mild detergent and slightly damp cloth to clean the surfaces of the 265. 7 MEASURING RESISTANCE Do not attempt to make resistance measurements with circuit energized.
