Operating manual for the TG basic 1 appliance tester

Gilgen, Müller & Weigert

6

4.   Appropriate usage

The tester may only be used under the conditions and for the
purposes for which it has been designed. It is particularly
important to observe the safety instructions and the technical data
regarding ambient conditions and usage in a dry environment.

The appliance tester may not be used for measuring in electrical
systems.

Operational safety is no longer guaranteed in the case of
modifications or conversions that have not been carried out by the
manufacturer.

Maintenance or calibration work may only be carried out by the
manufacturer.

Subject the appliance tester to an electromagnetic field can
impair the function of the appliance tester.

In order to avoid damaging the appliance tester, the test socket
and the test line may not be connected to an external voltage
source.

Only the supplied original measuring lines or equivalent safety
measuring accessories may be used!
