•
To avoid an electrical shock, don’t touch directly or indirectly the test probes and the test
points during measurement.
•
To avoid serious electrical shock and/or instrument damage, do not apply more than 500
VDC/VAC rms between any meter input terminal and earth ground.
•
Do not use meter near strong magnetic fields (loudspeakers, magnets), electromagnetic
fields (transformers, motors, coils, relays, contactors, electromagnets etc.), electrostatic
fields (charge/discharge), and Transmission antennas or HF-generators.
•
Don’t switch on the measuring unit immediately after bringing it in from a cold to warm
room. Condensed water might impair or destroy your unit. Give the unit time to warm up
to room temperature before switching it on.
•
Safe meter operation is questionable if the unit shows visible damage, the unit does not
appear to work properly, or long-term storage under unfavorable conditions has taken
place.
•
For measurements, use only test-leads which are supplied with the meter or equivalent
types. The supplied test-leads are rated for a maximum of 1200V. The maximum rating
of the multimeter is 1000 VDC max or 750 VAC rms. Use special caution when working
with voltage above 25 V AC and above 35 V DC.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device
indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating
Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to the meter.
This
WARNING
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This
CAUTION
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if
not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or damage to the
product or other property.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be
connected to a circuit point at which the voltage, with respect to earth
ground, exceeds the referenced VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being
associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to particularly
hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, thermometer and its test leads
should not be handled when these terminals are energized.
