Replacing the 9V battery
in the ArcSwitch® Meter
The ArcSwitch® meter is to be used indoors! if it
gets wet, dry it off immediately. DO NOT USE IT
until it is fully dry! if the meter is fully immersed in
water, it should not be used and should be
replaced.
The ArcSwitch® meter should be stored in normal
temperatures. Temperature extremes can
damage and shorten the life of the electronics.
Use only new batteries on the ArcSwitch® meter.
Low battery power will make the contacts not
work and the meter will not work correctly or may
not operate at all.
Customers are not permitted to modify,
disassemble or repair the ArcSwitch® meter.
Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or injury,
and will void the warranty.
If the Fuse is blown, disconnect the leads before
opening the cover. DO NOT OPEN the meter if the
leads are connected.
The fuse should be replaced with a 5 Amp 10.3mm
x 38mm HRC 20kA DC fuse and should not be
replaced with a higher current rated fuse. If you
need a replacement fuse, please contact us
directly to purchase a replacement fuse.
