PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This device complies with safety standard IEC-61010-1
(Ed 2–2001) for voltages up to 1000V in category III or 600V in
category IV, at an altitude below 2000m, indoors, with a
pollution level of not more than 2.
Failure to observe the safety instructions may cause an electric
shock, fire, explosion, or destruction of the instrument and of
the installations.
Do not use the instrument in an explosive atmosphere or in
the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

or category exceeds those mentioned.
Do not exceed the rated maximum voltages and currents
between terminals or with respect to earth.
Do not use the instrument if it appears to be damaged,
incomplete, or not properly closed.
Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the
leads, housing, and accessories. Any element of which the
insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside
for repair or scrapped.
Use leads and accessories rated for voltages and categories
at least equal to those of the instrument.
Observe the environmental conditions of use.
Do not modify the instrument and do not replace components
with "equivalents". Repairs and adjustments must be done by
