Note:
Electric discharges and high-frequency influence may cause incorrect
information to be displayed and block the measuring process. Reset the meter
by switching it OFF and ON again otherwise, check the battery connections.
Repair, replacement of parts:
When opening the meter, live parts may be exposed. Therefore, the meter
must be disconnected from the measuring circuit prior to opening its case for
repair or replacement of parts. If repair cannot be avoided unless the meter is
opened and live, this work must only be performed by a qualified person who
understands the danger involved.
When it is realised that the safe operation is no longer possible, take the meter
out of service and secure it against accidental use.
Safe operation may not be possible,
l
when the meter shows obvious signs of damage,
l
when the meter no longer functions correctly,
l after prolonged storage under adverse conditions,
l
due to severe stress during transportation.
3. Switching the multimeter "ON”
Battery
We have already fitted your meter with a 1.5V x 6 (AAA size)batteries
according to IEC 6 LR 03. It is ready for operation.
for the first time or after storage, refer to Section "18.1 Maintenance-Battery".
Before you use the meter
Switching the meter "ON”
Press the "ON/OFF" pushbutton (2).
Switch-"ON" is acknowledged by a sound signal. As long as you keep
the pushbutton pressed, all segments of the liquid crystal display (LCD)
will appear. The LCD is shown on page before 1.
After the pushbutton is released, the meter is ready for operation.
l
l For safe transient voltage measurements in power systems upto
1000V, we recommend the KS30 measuring adapter, which is
available as an accessory. Its internal resistance limits the
measuring current in the case of over voltage, in correct operation
and safely suppresses sparking from spark gap. Also refer to
Section “8.1 Voltage measurement” on electrical systems up to
1000V with KS30 measuring adapter.

19. Servicing
When you need service, please contact :
Replacing the battery
Ÿ
Place the multimeter on its face, loosen the two screws on the rear and
remove the lower part of the case, lifting it from the bottom. The lower and the
upper part of the case are fixed together at the top on the front by means of
wedges.
Ÿ
Remove all six batteries from the battery holder.
Ÿ
Place six new batteries into battery holder with correct polarities.
Ÿ
Replace the lower part of the case. Start at the top on the front and take care
that the wedges are properly engaged at this point.
Ÿ
Tighten the lower part with the two screws.
Ÿ
Please destroy the batteries in an environment friendly way.
18.2 Fuses
A blown fuse is signalled on the LCD display the instant a measured quantity
having a voltage of more than 4 V is applied to the corresponding connection
sockets.
Then, the digital display (9) shows "FUSE"
The 1.6 A protects all other current measuring ranges. All other measuring
ranges continue to function.
When a fuse blows, first eliminate the cause of the overload using the multimeter
again !
Fuse replacement
Ÿ
Open the multimeter same as for battery replacement
Ÿ
Remove the blown fuse, e.g. with the aid of a probe, and replace it with a
new one.
Ø
Permissible types for current measuring ranges up to 300 mA:
FF (UR) 1.6 A / 1000 V AC/DC; (10 KA); 6.3 mm x 32 mm
Caution :
Absolutely verify that only the specified fuse is installed!
If a fuse of other cut-out capacity, other nominal current or other switching capacity
is used, a dangerous situation exists, and there is danger of damaging protective
diodes, resistors or other components.
The shorting of the fuse holder is not permissible.
18.3 Case
Special maintenance of the case is not required. Take care that the surface
between the connection sockets is clean. For cleaning take a moist cloth.
Avoid scrabbing.
