Pollution degree
This multimeter is constructed to be able to be used in environments which contain
pollutants which are not electrically conductive, with the exception of temporary
conductivity caused by condensation.
Examples of environments with Pollution Degree 2 are dry home or office environments,
test stations and laboratories. Basically, any dry environment with normal indoor
climatic conditions.
The multimeter must not be used or stored in a location where it can be exposed to
electrically conductive pollution of any kind (solid, liquid or gas).
The multimeter should not be exposed to relative humidity over 75 %, be used in
unheated rooms and must not be used in bathrooms or outdoors where it might
get wet.
It is not designed to be used with electrical equipment used in industry or agriculture.
Safety
• The product conforms to the following CE standards: EN 611010-1:2010,
EN 61010-2-030:2010, EN 61326:2013, and CAT III: 600 V, Pollution Degree 2.
• Make sure that the product is used safely by following the safety instructions and
operating directions in this instruction manual.
• Neither the product nor its accessories must be dismantled or modified in any way.
• The product must never be used if it is in any way damaged or malfunctioning.
• Make sure that the power is turned off before working on the power circuit.
Low current levels can also be dangerous.
• Make sure that your fingers are behind the finger guards when using the test leads.
• To avoid electric shocks and damage to the product, do not exceed the product’s
overload limits.
• Do not measure voltages higher than 600 V DC or 600 V AC RMS using this product.
• To avoid shocks you need to be very CAREFUL when you work with voltage
higher than 60 V DC or 35 V AC RMS. Voltages higher than this pose a risk of
harmful electric shocks.
• Never use the product if the battery cover is missing or the battery compartment
is open.
• Replace the batteries as soon as the battery warning symbol appears on the display,
low batteries can cause an incorrect reading and constitute a safety hazard.
• Set the right measuring range using the selector before starting to measure and
do not change the range whilst taking a measurement.
• The product is protected by fuses, but they will not protect the meter from all
kinds of misuse.
• The product must not be used in humid, explosive or flammable environments or
close to strong magnetic fields.
• Remove the battery if the device is not to be used for an extended period.
• Turn the product off after use.
• If the product is placed close to a strong magnetic field it might cause incorrect
readings which can be corrected by removing the cause of the interference.
