It is protected at the input by a 5V zener diode and has a measurement range of 0.4V to 1.85V. The allowable input is -0.5V to 5V. Inputs outside this range will cause excessive current and damage.

Addition of a 150k ohm series resistor would (I expect, no guarantee) give a reduced sensitivity in voltage mode (0-4V) but allow inputs to +- 100V without damage. Input impedance in resistance, volume and pitch modes is much lower but a 1k ohm series resistor should still allow inputs to +-12V. If applying an external voltage, it is highly recommended that test leads be made up with a microphone plug and an inbuilt series resistor.
