follow
the
safety
recommendations
below:
•
Read the operating instructions fully before using this
device and observe all safety instructions.
•
This device must be used indoors, up to 2000 m altitude.
•
Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in the
specifications for each type of measurement.
•
When the multimeter clamp is inserted into the
measurement circuits, do not touch the unused
measurement cables or terminals.
•
Before
changing
the
function,
disconnect
the
measurement leads from the circuit measured.
•
Never measure resistances on a live circuit. Disconnect
the power and discharge all high voltage condensers
before
performing
a
resistance
or
continuity
measurement.
•
Avoid working alone.
•
Use the device only as specified in this manual;
otherwise, the protection provided by this multimeter may
be altered.
•
Do not use this device if it appears damaged.
•
Inspect the integrity of lead insulation. Replace damaged
leads.
•
Be careful when working with voltages higher than
70 V
DC
or 33 Vrms and 46.7 Vpp, such voltages can
pose a risk of electrocution. Depending on conditions, the
use of individual protection is recommended.
•
Always
keep
hands behind the physical protection of the
tips or the clamp during a measurement.
