– Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme tempera
-
tures or significant vibration.
– Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages higher than
24 V/AC rms or 60 V/DC. Touching the electrical conductors at
such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
Take particular care if the 50 V warning LED is on.
– If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conduc
-
tiveresidue, work must not be carried out under voltage. At and
above voltages of 24 V/AC rms / 60 V/DC, the presence of moisture
creates the risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
– Clean and dry the device before use.
– When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather
conditions are appropriate and/or that suitable protection measures
are taken.
– In the overvoltage categories III / IV (CAT III - 1000V / CAT IV -
600V), voltages of 1000V / 600V between the test device and
earth must not be exceeded.
– The lowest overvoltage category (CAT), rated voltage and rated
current apply when using the device together with the measuring
equipment.
– Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area
to be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used
(e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device
by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in
the case of AC testing or a car battery in the case of DC testing).
– The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions
fail or the battery charge is weak.
– The device must be disconnected from all power sources and
measuring circuits before opening the cover to change the
battery(ies) or fuse(s).
– The device must be disconnected from all power sources and
measuring circuits before opening the cover to change the
battery(ies) or fuse(s). Do not switch on the device with the cover
open.
– Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities
relating to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety
equipment (e.g. electrician‘s safety gloves).
– If you have to take hold of the measuring spikes, do so by the
grip sections only. Do not touch the measuring contacts whilst
the measurement is being taken.
– Make sure that you always select the correct connections and
rotary switch position with the correct measuring range for the
measurement to be carried out.
–
Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations
and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
