1. Safety Information
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 III 600V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small
transient over voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient
overvoltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines,
which are stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e. main-
switches on current input, overvoltage-diverter, current use
counter.
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.
*
WARNING! Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial
installation measurement.
* 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 prescale (10:1)
must be used.
* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and
screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never
short-circuit fuse or fuse holding.
* Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before
switching modes or functions.
