ECLIPSE - HT9025
EN - 2
1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
The instrument has been designed in compliance with directive IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to
electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the
instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all
notes preceded by symbol
with the utmost attention. Before and after carrying out
measurements, carefully observe the following instructions:
CAUTION
x
Do not carry out any measurements in case gas, explosive materials or
flammables are present, or in humid or dusty environments.
x
Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the
instrument such as deformation, breaks, substance leaks, absence of
display on the screen, etc.
x
Avoid any contact with the circuit being measured if no measurements are
being carried out.
x
Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, with unused measuring probes,
circuits, etc.
x
Pay special attention when measuring voltages higher than 20V, since a risk
of electrical shock exists
x
Keep the instrument steady during any measuring operation.
x
Do not carry out any measurements which exceed the working and storage
temperature ranges specified in § 7
x
Only the accessories provided together with the instrument will guarantee
safety standards. They must be used only if in good conditions and
replaced with identical models, when necessary.
x
Check that the battery is correctly inserted.
x
Check that the LCD display gives indications consistent with the function
selected.
x
Do not direct the instrument at very high intensity radiation sources (e.g. the
sun) in order to prevent damaging the IR sensor.
x
Prevent hits or strong vibrations in order to keep the instrument from
damage.
x
When bringing the instrument from a cold to a hot environment, leave it on
long enough for condensation water to evaporate.
In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used:
Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could
damage the instrument or its components.
High voltage danger: electrical shock hazard.
This symbol indicates that the clamp can operate on live conductors
Double-insulated meter
AC voltage or current
DC voltage or current
Connection to earth
This symbol on the display means that the instrument (ECLIPSE) is able to emit
a laser pointer in Class 2.
Do not direct the radiation towards the eyes in
order to prevent physical damage to people.
