1. Safety precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following directives of the European Union for
CE conformity: 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility), 2014/35/EU (low voltage),
Overvoltage
category II; Pollution degree 2.
To ensure the operational safety of the device and to avoid serious injuries from current or voltage
flashovers or short circuits, the following safety instructions for operating the device must be
observed.
Only connect the device to sockets with a grounded protective conductor
Damages caused by non-observance of these instructions are excluded from claims of any kind.
* This device must not be used in high-energy circuits.
* Before connecting the device to a socket, check that the voltage setting on the device
corresponds to the existing mains voltage
* Only connect the device to sockets with a grounded protective conductor
* Do not place the device on a damp or wet surface.
* Do not operate the device in the vicinity of strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers, etc.)
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input values under any circumstances (risk of serious
injury and / or destruction of the device)
* The specified maximum input voltages must not be exceeded. If it cannot be ruled out
unequivocally that these voltage peaks are exceeded due to the influence of transient interference
or for other reasons, the measurement voltage must be pre-damped accordingly (10: 1).
* Before switching to another measuring function, disconnect test leads or probe from the
measuring circuit.
* Check the device, test leads and other accessories for possible damage or bare or kinked cables
and wires before commissioning. If in doubt, do not take any measurements.
* Only carry out measurements in dry clothing and preferably in rubber shoes or on an insulating
mat.
* Do not touch the measuring tips of the test leads.
* Strictly observe the warning notices on the device.
* The device should not be operated unsupervised
* Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or moisture.
* Avoid strong vibration.
* Keep hot soldering guns away from the immediate vicinity of the device.
* Before starting the measuring operation, the device should be stabilized to the ambient
temperature (important when transporting from cold to warm rooms and vice versa)
* Do not exceed the set measuring range with any measurement. This will prevent damage to the
device.
* Clean the housing regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use any caustic
abrasives.
* Avoid any proximity to explosive and flammable materials.
* Opening the device and maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by qualified service
technicians.
* Do not place the device face down on the workbench or work surface to avoid damaging the
controls.
* Do not make any technical changes to the device.
