DRBIII Safety Information

1997 Plymouth Breeze L4-2.0L VIN CSECTION DRBIII Safety Information
WARNING: Exceeding the limits of the DRB multi meter is dangerous. It can expose you to serious or possibly fatal injury. Carefully read and understand the cautions and the specification limits.

- Follow the vehicle manufacturer's service specifications at all times.
- Do not use the DRB if it has been damaged.
- Do not use the test leads if the insulation is damaged or if metal is exposed.
- To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the test leads, tips, or the circuit being tested.
- Choose the proper range and function for the measurement. Do not try voltage or current measurements that may exceed the rated capacity.
- Do not exceed the limits shown in the table below:

FUNCTION INPUT LIMIT

Volts 0 - 500 peak volts AC
0 - 500 volts DC

Ohms (resistance)* 0 - 1.12 megohms

Frequency Measured 0 - 10 kHz
Frequency Generated

Temperature -58° - 1100°F
-50° - 600°C

* Ohms cannot be measured if voltage is present. Ohms can be measured only in a non-powered circuit.

- Voltage between any terminal and ground must not exceed 500v DC or 500v peak AC.
- Use caution when measuring voltage above 25v DC or 25v AC.
- The circuit being tested must be protected by a 10A fuse or circuit breaker.
- Use the low current shunt to measure circuits up to 10A. Use the high current clamp to measure circuits exceeding 10A.
- When testing for the presence of voltage or current, make sure the meter is functioning correctly. Take a reading of a known voltage or current before accepting a zero reading.
- When measuring current, connect the meter in series with the load.
- Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
- When using the meter function, keep the DRB away from spark plug or coil wires to avoid measuring error from outside interference.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
