Safety Features and Precautions

You have selected an instrument which provides you with a 
high level of safety.
This instrument fulfills the requirements of the applicable 
European and national EC guidelines. We confirm this with 
the CE marking. The relevant declaration of conformity can 
be obtained from GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH.
The analog-digital multimeter is manufactured and tested in 
accordance with safety regulations IEC 61010–1:2010/
DIN EN 61010–1:2010/VDE 0411–1:2011. When used for its 
intended purpose, safety of the operator, as well as that of 
the instrument, is assured. Their safety is however not 
guaranteed, if the instrument is used improperly or handled 
carelessly.

In order to maintain flawless technical safety conditions, and to 
assure safe use, it is imperative that you read the operating 
instructions thoroughly and carefully before placing your instrument 
into service, and that you follow all instructions contained therein.

In the interest of your own safety and in order to protect the 
instrument, the multimeter is equipped with an automatic 
socket blocking mechanism. This mechanism is linked to the 
function selector switch and only allows access to those 
jacks which are actually required for the selected function. It 
also prevents the user from turning the selector switch to 
impermissible functions after the measurement cables have 
already been plugged in.

Observe the following safety precautions:

The instrument may only be operated by persons who 
are capable of recognizing contact hazards and taking 
the appropriate safety precautions. Contact hazards exist 
anywhere, where voltages of greater than 33 V

RMS

 may 

occur.

Avoid working alone when taking measurements which 
involve contact hazards. Be certain that a second person 
is present.

Maximum allowable voltage

 between any of the connector 

jacks and earth 

is 600 V, category III

. Nominal voltage at 

the system may not exceed 600 V. Voltage measurement 
may only be performed with the selector switch set to the 
V= or the V~ position.

Be prepared for the occurrence of unexpected voltages 
at devices under test (e.g. defective devices). For 
example, capacitors may be dangerously charged.

Make certain that the measurement cables are in flawless 
condition, e.g. no damage to insulation, no interruptions 
in cables or plugs etc.

No measurements may be made with this instrument in 
electrical circuits with corona discharge (high-voltage).
