These fuses are available in packages of ten from our sales offices and distributors.
Attention!
!
Use specified fuses only!
If fuses with other blowing characteristics, other current
ratings or other breaking capacities are used, the
operator is placed in danger, and protective diodes,
resistors and other components may be damaged.
The use of repaired fuses and short-circuiting the fuse
holder are prohibited.
14.3 Housing
No special maintenance is required for the housing. Keep outside
surfaces clean. Use a slightly dampened cloth for cleaning. Avoid

Multimeter Messages
The following messages appear at the main display, or the
auxiliary displays as required. See “Symbols used in the Digital
Display” on page 2 for messages displayed at visible segments.
Blinking Unit of Measure
All measuring functions are balanced for each DranTech PMIT at
the factory in accordance with the respective technical
specification. If a unit of measure blinks, this indicates that
balancing constants which have been established and saved to the
multimeter are no longer available for the respective function. If
this is the case, measurement results may deviate from the
specification. We recommend sending the instrument to our
Repair and Replacement Parts department for rebalancing (see
chapter 17).
