SAFETY INFORMATIONS
This meter has been designed according to IEC-61010 concerning electronic measuring instrument
with a measurement category (CAT III 600V) and pollution degree 2 according to VDE 0110.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•
Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case. Pay
particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
•
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check: the test leads for
continuity. Replace damaged test lead before you use the meter.
•
Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt,
have the meter serviced.
•
Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapour or dusts.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Before use, verify the meter's operation by measuring a known voltage.
•
When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
•
Use caution when working with voltage above 30V ac rms, 42V peak, or 60V dc. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
•
When using the probes or meter, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes or
the meter.
•
Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you disconnect test
leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
•
Remove the test leads from the meter and remove the clamp Jaws from the conductor under
test before opening the case or the battery cover.
•
Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case removed or loosened.
•
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock: or personal injury, replace
the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator
appears.
•
To avoid electric shock, do not touch any naked conductor with hand or skin.
•
Do not hold the meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
•
Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be used to
prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•
Remaining endangerment:
When an input terminal is connected to dangerous live potential it is to be noted that this
potential at all other terminals can occur!
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test follow these guidelines:
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before testing resistance, diode and
continuity.
•
Use the proper function and range for your measurements.
•
Before rotating the function/range switch to change functions, remove test leads from the circuit
under test and remove the jaws from the clamped conductor.
