8.2.3

Contact Current Measurement

The measurement of contact current is per-
formed on the screw connections of the PRCD IN 
sockets with standard limit values (I

B

< 0.5 mA).

8.3

Fuse Replacement

All fuses for neutral and phase conductors 
are accessible from the outside.
The fuses may only be replaced when the 
instrument is voltage-free, i.e. the instrument 
must be disconnected from mains supply 
power and may not be connected to a mea-
suring circuit. The respective fuse type must 
comply with the specifications in the techni-
cal data or the labeling on the device. 

8.4

Return and Environmentally Sound 
Disposal

The device is a category 9 product (monitor-
ing and control instrument) in accordance 
with ElektroG (German electrical and elec-
tronic device law). 
This device is subject to the RoHS directive. 
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.
In accordance with WEEE 2012/
19/EU and ElektroG, we identify 
our electrical and electronic 
devices with the symbol in accor-
dance with DIN EN 50419 which is shown at 
the right. Devices identified with this symbol 
may not be disposed of with the trash.
Please contact our service department 
regarding the return of old devices (see 
address next page).
