KYORITSU KEW1021R Digital Multimeter Instruction Manual

Overview

Protective figerguard:
It is a part providing protection against electrical shock and ensuring the minimum required air and creepage distances.
Cap:
Test leads can be used under the CAT II and CAT III and CAT IV environments by attaching a protective cap as illustrated below. Use of our protective cap offers different lengths suitable for the test environments.

When the instrument and the test lead are combined and used together, whichever lower category either of them belongs to will be  applied.
This instrument is designed for CAT IV 300V/ CAT III 600V. Test leads M-7066A with the supplied caps are designed for CAT IV600V/ CAT III 1000V and without the caps are for CAT II 1000V.

Battery / Fuse Replacement

WARNING

•  Replace the battery when the ” ” mark- low battery voltagewarning- appears on the LCD. Otherwise, precise measurement cannot be made. If the battery is completely exhausted, the LCD goes blank without showing the ” ” mark.
• Disconnect the test leads from the object under test and power off the instrument before opening the Battery compartment cover for battery or fuse replacement.
• The fuse gets hot after current measurement and may cause burn injury. If replacing the batteries or fuse after current measurement, a rest period of 10 min before you do.
• Use the designated fuse only.
• Do not try to replace the battery or fuse if the surface of the instrument is wet.

CAUTION

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Install a batteries in correct polarity as indicated in the Battery Compartment.

1. Set the Function Switch to “OFF” position.
2. Untighten the screw on the back of the instrument.
3. Remove the Battery compartment cover and replace the batteries or fuse.
4. Attach the cover to the instrument and then secure the cover by tightening the screw.
