Safety Information
Chapter 1
Meter Safety Standards
This style of digital multimeter is designed and manufactured according to the safety requirements set out by the IEC1010-1
standards for electronic test instruments and the hand-hold digital multimeters. Its design and manufacture is strictly based on
the provisions in the 1000V CAT
Ⅲ
of IEC1010-1 and the Stipulation of 2-Pollution Grade.
The meter conforms to the European Union’s following requirements:89/336/EEC
(EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility ),73/23/EEC(LVD Low Voltage Protection)and 93/68/EEC(CE Mark).
Warning
Before use of the meter firstly check up if there is any crack on the outer shell or if it lacks any plastic part, and check up
whether the testing line is damaged or has any exposed metal. The meter can be used only if no any insulating problem be
found.
Carefully read the operating methods and safety prompts in this manual. Using it not based on the methods specified in
this manual may cause the meter damaged.
Non-normal meter must not be used. It should be sent for repairing.
The meter must not be used in an environment with combustible gases, steam or dust pollution.
It should be careful to work when measuring votage higher than 30Vac(effective value)or 50Vdc for such voltage having
the risk of shock. Avoid the body directly touching ground or any metal substance in which there may be ground
