2.3 Safety Symbols
The signs and symbols on the multimeter, which provide guidelines for safety and
handling, are displayed and described below.
This symbol advises the user of a possible danger area.
Please consult the manual (see “Connection of Measurement
Leads” and Chapter “Operating Instructions”).
This symbol makes the user aware, that a dangerous
voltage can be present at measurement connectors.
The CE mark means, that the manufacturer has issued an
EC Declaration of Conformity for this multimeter. This declaration
certifies, that this multimeter conforms to the pertinent requirements
of EC directives.
2.4 Accident Prevention
While using this measurement unit, precautions to prevent an accident should be
taken, appropriate to the use of a measurement device.
It is especially important to observe , that during
current measurement
, a very low
impedance i.e. 0.1
Ω
exists between the Hi and Lo connectors, so that a cur-
rent/voltage, which is applied to the Hi connector, can be contacted by a cable that is
connected to the Lo connector.
2.5 Connecting the Unit to Main Power
This PREMA measurement unit is designed to be connected to AC Main Voltage, at a
frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The rear panel of the unit is equipped with a standard
DIN grounded power connector.
