2. Safety note
The instrument is built and tested in accordance with
DIN VDE 0411 part 1/ EN 61010-1
and has left the factory in perfectly safe technical state.
To maintain this state and ensure safe operation of the appliance tester, the user
must observe the notes and warnings given in these instructions at all times.
The unit may be used only in power circuits within the
overvoltage category II with a conductor for 600 V max. to
earth .
Remember that work on electrical components of all kinds is
dangerous. Even low voltages of 30 V AC and 60 V DC may be
dangerous to human life.
Before starting the appliance tester up, always check it as well
as all cables and wires for signs of damage.
Should it appear that safe operation of the appliance tester is no longer possible,
it should be shut down immediately and secured to prevent it being switched
on accidentally.
It may be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible:
- if the instrument or the measuring cables show visible signs of damage, or
- if the appliance tester no longer functions, or
- after long periods of storage under unfavourable conditions, or
- after being subjected to rough transport.
In order to avoid danger,
- do not touch the bare prod tips of the measuring cables
connectors,
- insert the measurement lines in the appropriately
designated measuring sockets on the multimeter
