Replacing the Fuse

Ð

Open the battery compartment lid by loosening the two 
screws.

Ð

Remove the blown fuse and insert a new one. A replacement 
fuse is included in the battery compartment.

Ð

Insert the new fuse.

Ð

Replace the battery compartment lid and retighten the 
screws.

11.2.2 Electronic Fuse – ZERO/FUSE LED

This fuse only protects low-resistance measurement (Rlo) from 
overloading (electronic hardware circuit). 
As the electronic fuse blows faster than the mechanical fuse in the 
event of faulty operation of the instrument with live components, 
not only the instrument, but also the fuse link is protected in the 
low-resistance measuring range.
This means that, if interference voltage occurs during low-resis-
tance measurement, the electronic fuse is blown. The measure-
ment is aborted and the 

ZERO/FUSE LED 

blinks.

After eliminating the cause of error, the 

ZERO/FUSE LED

 goes out 

after the instrument has once again been switched on from rotary 
switch position 

OFF

.

11.3

Housing

No special maintenance is required for the housing. Keep outside 
surfaces clean. Use a slightly dampened cloth or a plastic cleaner 
for cleaning. Avoid the use of cleansers, abrasives or solvents.

Return and Environmentally Sound Disposal

The 

instrument

 is a category 9 product (monitoring and control 

instrument) in accordance with ElektroG (German electrical and 
electronic device law). This device is subject to the RoHS direc-
tive. Furthermore, we make reference to the fact that the current 
status in this regard can be accessed on the Internet at 
www.gossenmetrawatt.com by entering the search term WEEE.
We identify our electrical and electronic devices in 
accordance with WEEE 2012/19EU and ElektroG using 
the symbol shown at the right per DIN EN 50419.
These devices may not be disposed of with the trash.
Please contact our service department regarding the return of old 
devices (see address in section 14).

If the 

(rechargeable) batteries

 used in your instrument are depleted, 

they must be disposed of properly in accordance with valid 
national regulations. 
Batteries may contain pollutants and heavy metals such as lead 
(Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg).
The symbol to the right indicates that batteries must not 
be disposed of with the trash, and must be brought to a 
designated collection point.
