Safety and operational considerations
2.1 Warnings and notes
In order to maintain the highest level of operator safety while carrying out various tests and
measurements Metrel recommends keeping your
Euro Z 440 V
instruments in good
condition and undamaged. When using the instrument, consider the following general
warnings:
The
symbol on the test equipment means »Read the Instruction manual
with special care for safe operation«. The symbol requires an action!
If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this Instruction
manual, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired!
Read this Instruction manual carefully, otherwise the use of the test equipment
may be dangerous for the operator, the test equipment itself or for the tested
object!
Do not use the test equipment or any of the accessories if any damage is
noticed!
Regularly check the instrument and accessories for correct functioning to
avoid hazard that could occur from misleading results.
Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric
shock while dealing with hazardous voltages! Note that Euro Z 440 V high
current impedance adapter is intended for use in environments where
dangerous voltages are easy accessible (e.g. switchgears, power stations)!
Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
Do not connect the test equipment to a mains voltage different from the one
defined on the label adjacent to the mains connector, otherwise it may be
damaged.
Service intervention, calibration or adjustment is only allowed to be carried out
by competent authorized personnel!
All normal safety precautions must be taken in order to avoid risk of electric
shock while working on electrical installations!
Consider that protection category of some accessories is lower than of the
instrument (e.g. test leads, alligator clips, test tips). Test tips have removable
caps. If they are removed, the protection falls to CAT II. Check markings on
accessories!
cap off, 18 mm tip: CAT II up to 1000 V
cap on, 4 mm tip: CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V / CAT IV 300 V
Do not use the equipment in a wet environment, around explosive gas, vapour.
Only adequately trained and competent persons may operate the equipment.
