IMPORTANT NOTE

====================

Instruments are delivered ready for immediate use; no extras are required.

Supplied Accessories:

 

One set of test leads
One mains cord
One copy of Operating Instructions (English)

When unpacked, inspect for physical damage and report any defects
immediately in writing, retaining packaging materials for inspection.  Before
placing into service, ensure mains voltage is correct, instruments are normally
supplied for 240V 50Hz.  Other voltages may also be selected according to
the chart in section 5, (Maintenance).  Be sure to also change the fuse to the
correct type.

Safety

Digital Ohmmeter type D04A is designated Safety Class I as defined in the
EN61010.

This apparatus has been designed and tested in accordance with EN61010,
Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus, and has been
supplied in a safe condition.  The present instruction manual contains some
information and warnings that have to be followed by the user to ensure safe
operation and to retain the apparatus in safe condition.

If this apparatus is to be connected to a fixed installation, before any other
connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a
protective conductor.

Before switching on the apparatus, make sure that it is set to the voltage of the
power supply.  The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet
provided with protective earth contact.  The protective action must not be
negated by the use of an extension lead without a protective conductor.
