1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community Directives:
2014/130/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage) as amended by
2014/32/EU (CE-Marking).
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.
* Use protection class I devices only with grounded wall outlets to keep the protection class.
* The device must be installed in such a way that the mains plug can be easily removed from the
socket.
* Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
* This device is passively cooled by a backside heat sink, which can get very hot. After use, allow
the unit to cool before handling the heat sink.
* Do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that the air is able to circulate freely
inside.
* Do not insert metal objects into the equipment by way of the ventilation slots.
* Do not place water filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case of knock
over of the container).
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-circuit fuse or fuse
holding.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before connection to the
equipment.
* 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.
* 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).
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or
solvents.
* The device is suitable for indoor use only
* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as terminal can
carry voltage.
* Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
* Do not modify the equipment in any way
* Opening the equipment and service
– and repair work must only be performed by qualified
service personnel
* Reverse voltages in the power supply unit should be avoided - do not use to charge batteries or
to operate voltage generating, inductive loads.
* -Operate electronic devices under the supervision of qualified personnel!
Cleaning the cabinet
