1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
This instrument complies with safety Standards EN61557 and EN61010-1 related to electronic
measuring instruments.
CAUTION
For your own safety and to avoid damaging the instrument follow the
procedures described in this instruction manual and read carefully all notes
preceded by this symbol
.
When taking measurements:
avoid doing that in humid or wet places - make sure that humidity is within the limits indicated in
section “environmental conditions”.
avoid doing that in rooms where explosive gas, combustible gas, steam or excessive dust is
present.
keep you insulated from the object under test.
do not touch exposed metal parts such as test lead ends, sockets, fixing objects, circuits etc.
avoid doing that if you notice anomalous conditions such as breakages, deformations, fractures,
leakages of battery liquid, blind display etc.
be particularly careful when measuring voltages exceeding 25V in particular places (building
yards, swimming pools, etc.) and 50V in ordinary places to avoid risks of electrical shocks.
The following symbols are used:

1.1. PRELIMINARY
INSTRUCTIONS
This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
It can be used for tests on electrical installations of overvoltage category III 265V and 550V
maximum rated interlinked voltage (and to earth).
You are recommended to respect the usual safety regulations aimed at protecting you against
dangerous currents and protecting the instrument against improper use.
Only the original test leads supplied along with the instrument guarantee compliance with the
safety Standards in force. They must be in a good conditions and, if necessary, replaced with
identical ones.
Do not test nor connect to any circuit exceeding the specified overload protection.
Do not take measurements under environmental conditions exceeding the limits indicated in this
manual.
Make sure that batteries are correctly installed.
Before connecting the test probes to the installation make sure that the right function is chosen.
