Precautions Before Use
These instruments comply with safety standard EN 61010-1 (Ed 2-2001) or EN 61010-
2-032 (2002) for voltages and categories of installation, at an altitude below 2000m
and indoors, with a degree of pollution at most equal to 2.
• Do not use in explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable
gases or fumes.
• Do not use on voltage networks greater than the category ratings identified
on the instrument’s label.
• Observe the maximum voltages and intensities assigned between terminals
and earth.
•
Do not use it if appears damaged, incomplete or improperly closed.
•
Before each use, check the condition of the insulation of cables, case and
accessories. Anything which appears damaged (even partially) must be
reported for repair or scrapping.
•
Use leads and accessories of voltages and categories at least equal to those
of the instrument.
•
Observe the environmental conditions of use.
•
Use only recommended fuse.
Disconnect all leads before replacing the
fuse (L111).
•
Do not modify the instrument and use only original replacement parts.
Repairs or adjustments must be performed by authorized personnel.
•
Replace the batteries when the “Low Bat” LED is blinking.
Disconnect
all cables from the instrument or remove the clamp on from the cable before
opening the access door to the batteries.
•
Use protective equipment when security conditions are required.
•
Keep your hands away from unused terminals of the device.
•
When handling probes, probe tips, current sensors and alligators clips,
keep fingers behind the guards.
•
To measure dangerous voltages:
1. Use the black lead to connect the instrument’s black terminal to the low volt-
age point of the source to be measured.
2. Use the red lead to connect the instrument’s red terminal to the hot source
to be measured.
3. After making the measurement, disconnect the leads in reverse order: hot
source, then red terminal, then low voltage point, and finally black terminal.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INSTALLATION NOTE
When installing the batteries, the memory will be marked as full.
Therefore, before starting a recording, the memory must be erased.
