CATIV 600 V Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the multimeter or in the Adapter specifications (whichever is lower) between the terminals, or between any terminal and earth ground. Before each use, inspect test leads for damage and check for continuity. Do not use Instruction Sheet leads that are damaged or show high resistance. Look for cracks or missing plastic on the lead housing or cable insulation. Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be used SV225 to prevent shock and injury. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection Stray Voltage Eliminator provided by the equipment may be impaired. The Adapter is specified for CAT III 1000V/CAT IV 600V per EN61010. CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients in equipment in fixed- equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and lighting systems in large buildings. CAT IV equipment is designed to protect against transients from the primary supply level, such as an electricity meter or an overhead or underground utility service. Symbols The following symbols appear on the Adapter or in this instruction sheet. T Product is protected by double insulation. Introduction The SV225 Stray Voltage Eliminator (hereafter referred to as Risk of Danger. Important information. See the Adapter) is a digital multimeter accessory that allows W Instruction Sheet. measurements in circuits which may be subject to stray voltages encountered from adjacent-energized wiring. The Adapter provides an approximate 3,000 e load to the X Hazardous voltage. measured circuit, desensitizing the meter to low energy, spurious sources of interference. The Adapter is only used for voltage measurements. When used with a compatible digital Conforms to relevant Australian standards. N10140 multimeter, it can be determined whether the circuits under test are energized or not. P Conforms to relevant European Union directives. Safety Information XW Read First: Safety Information Specifications To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury: Voltages up to 1000 volts continuous can be safely applied to the Adapter without damage. Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety instructions. Operation Temperature Use caution when working with voltages -20 C to +55 C (-40 F to 131 F) above 60 V dc or 30 V ac. Such voltages pose Altitude a shock hazard. 2,000 Meters Operating Before testing the desired circuit, ensure that Humidity the multimeter and Adapter are functioning 90 % at 0 to 35 C (32 F to 95 F), 70 % at 35 to 55 C properly by testing a known live circuit. A de- (95 F to 131 F) energized circuit will be indicated on the Nominal Resistance multimeter display as a reading near zero 3,000 25 C (77 F) volts. When using the Adapter to eliminate stray or Instrument Compatibility ghost voltage, the Adapter has a low input The Adapter is for use with any high-impedance digital impedance, nominally 3,000 . This low multimeter ( 1 M) which accepts 4 mm safety-shrouded impedance places a moderate load on the banana plugs and with any test leads using the same safety- circuit under test. Do not use the Adapter to shrouded banana plugs.
