Intended Operation

The instrument is intended only for use by personnel familiar with the potential
risks of measuring electrical quantities.

For safety reasons, the instrument may only be connected to properly installed
wall outlets. Separating the ground is prohibited.

The power cable must be inserted before signal circuits may be connected.

Use only the power cable included in the delivery package. See 

"Delivery

package"

 

on page 14.

Before each measurement, measuring cables must be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary. Damaged or worn components can damage
the instrument or cause injury.

The instrument may be operated only under the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer, without the product's ventilation being
obstructed. If the manufacturer’s specifications are not observed, this can result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury, and in some cases, death.

Provide adequate airflow

Do not block the air intake at the front and side of the instrument or the exhaust at
the rear. Install the instrument on a location that allows sufficient space for air cir-
culation at the air intake and exhaust. Recommended spacing to non-heat pro-
ducing surface is at least 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) from the ventilation holes.

Applicable local or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of acci-
dents must be observed in all work performed.

The instrument is designed for use in the following sectors: Industrial, residential,
business and commercial areas and small businesses.

The instrument is designed for indoor use only. Before each measurement, you
need to verify at a known source if the instrument functions properly.
