5 Triplett Model 9045
2.20 Do not apply voltages to the input of the meter which are elevated above the
earth ground potential by more than 600V AC/DC. Doing so may damage
the meter and/or injure the user.
2.21 Do not continue to use meter when the “low battery” symbol is
displayed. The displayed reading may be in error and lead the user to
believe that no hazard exists, when in fact, dangerous voltages or currents
may be present. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the meter or injury to the user.
2.22 Use caution when working with voltages above 25 volts AC or 35 volts DC.
Such voltages may cause a life threatening electrical shock.
2.23 This meter is not for use by children. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
2.24 Do not use this meter to make measurements in adverse environments such
as rain, snow, fog, or locations with steam, explosive gases or dusts.
Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure the user.
2.25 Do not use meter in condensing atmospheres. That is, do not use meter in
conditions where ambient temperature and humidity could cause condensa-
tion of water inside of meter. Doing so may cause injury to the user.
2.26 Do not use the meter if either the meter or the test leads are wet, either from
exposure to the weather, or after cleaning the case of the meter. Doing so
may cause injury to the user.
2.27 Do not attempt immediate use of the meter when bringing it from a cold
environment to a warm environment. Condensation of water, inside and
outside of the meter, may produce dangerous measuring conditions. Allow
the meter to warm to room temperature before using. Failure to observe
this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
2.28 Do not modify the meter. Changing the design may make the meter unsafe
and may result in injury to the user.
2.29 Use caution when attempting to evaluate if a dangerous voltage is present.
The meter will not read AC voltage if it is set to DC, nor will it read DC if it
is set to AC. For example, if the meter is set to measure DC Volts, it will not
measure a dangerous AC voltage, even if the probes are inserted into a
household AC wall outlet.
