Triplett 3526 - Manual (Page 2)

The Model 3526-B has been designed with your safety
in mind. However, no design can completely protect
against incorrect use. Electrical circuits can be
dangerous and/or lethal when lack of caution or poor
safety practices are used.
Read the Manual
Read this Instruction manual carefully and completely.
Voltages and currents within the capability of this
multimeter can be hazardous. Follow the instructions in
this manual for every measurement. Read and
understand the general instructions before attempting
to use this meter. Do not exceed the limits of this
meter.
Safety Check
Double check the switch setting and lead connections
before making measurements. Are you following all of
the instructions? Disconnect the meter or turn off the
power before changing switch positions. Do not
connect to circuits with voltage present when switch is
in any ohms or current position. When replacing fuses,
use only specified type fuses and insert in correct fuse
holder.
Do Not Touch
Do not touch exposed wiring, connections, or other
"live" parts of an electrical circuit. If in doubt, check the
circuit first for voltage before touching it. Turn off the
power to a circuit before connecting test probes to it.
Be sure there is no voltage present before you touch
the circuit. Do not use cracked or broken test leads.
High Voltage is Dangerous
Always start with the power off. Be sure there is no
voltage present before making connections to the
circuit. Do not touch the meter, its leads, or any part of
the circuit while it is on. Before disconnecting the
meter, turn the circuit off and wait for the meter to
"zero".
Distribution Circuits Pack A Punch
In high energy circuits such as distribution
Transformers and bus bars, dangerous arcs of
explosive nature can occur if the circuit is shorted. Do
not use this meter in circuits of this type.
Only use a
meter with a Category III rating at the appropriate
voltage.
