MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

If the Meter fails to operate, check battery, exam leads, etc., and supersede as necessary.
Double check the followings:

1. Replace the fuse or battery if the meter does not work.
2. Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure.

Quick cheque on 0.5A FUSE:
Step one: Turn the rotary switch to Ω function.
Step ii: short-circuit E/V/Ω/Hz terminal and mA/μA terminal.
Resistance reading ≤ 1MΩ: the fuse is OK
Resistance reading "OL": the fuse is open. Replace the fuse every bit specified.
Quick check on 10A FUSE:
Footstep 1: Plow the rotary switch to Ω function.
Footstep ii: short-circuit E/V/Ω/Hz terminal and A last.
Resistance reading ≤ 0.5Ω: the fuse is OK.
Resistance reading "OL": the fuse is open. Replace the fuse as specified.

Except for the replacement of the bombardment, repair of the meter should be performed only by a Factory Authorized Service Center or by other qualified instrument service personnel.
The front end console and case can be cleaned with a mild solution of detergent and h2o. Apply sparingly with a soft material and allow to dry completely before using. Do not utilise aromatic hydrocarbons, Gasoline or chlorinated solvents for cleaning.
