1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community Directives:
2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category II; pollution degree 2.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to short-
circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims
whatever.
Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement.
Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or destruction
of the equipment).
The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it is not possible to exclude without
that impulses, transients, disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are exceeded a
suitable presale (10:1) must be used.
Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before switching modes or functions.
Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before connection to the
equipment.
Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
The measurement instrument is not to be to operated unattended.
Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).
Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important
for exact measurements).
Use caution when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC. These Voltages pose shock
hazard.
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or
solvents.
The meter is suitable for indoor use only
Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
Opening the equipment and service
– and repair work must only be performed by qualified
service personnel
Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands.
Cleaning the cabinet
Prior to cleaning the cabinet, withdraw the mains plug from the power outlet.
Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild household cleanser. Ensure that
no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.
