digital multimeter BE49
•
Never charge batteries that cannot be recharged.
•
Different types of batteries and new and used batteries
must not be used together.
•
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment according
to the correct polarity.
•
Remove discharged batteries from the device. Batteries
contain materials hazardous to the environment. Dispose
of the batteries according to the national regulations.
•
Remove the batteries from the device if you will not be
using the device for a longer period of time.
•
Never short-circuit the supply terminal in the battery
compartment!
•
Do not swallow batteries! If a battery is swallowed, it can
cause severe internal burns within 2 hours! These burns
can lead to death!
•
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
otherwise entered the body, seek medical attention
immediately!
•
Keep new and used batteries and an open battery
compartment away from children.
•
Observe the storage and operating conditions (see
Technical data).
•
Disconnect the measuring cables from the device before
replacing the batteries.
•
Do not exceed the measuring range of a function specified
in the technical data.
•
Always disconnect the measuring tips from the circuit
before changing the measuring mode.
•
Proceed with the utmost care when measuring voltages
above 25 VAC rms or 35 VDC. There is a risk of an electric
shock at these voltage levels.
•
Ensure that the measuring area has zero potential and the
capacitors are discharged before you carry out diode,
resistance or continuity tests. Disconnect the measuring
lines from the measuring area before switching over the
device to diode, resistance or continuity tests if you have
previously carried out measurements on live components
Intended use
Only use the multimeter for measuring voltage, current or
resistance whilst adhering to the technical data.
To use the device for its intended use, only use accessories and
spare parts which have been approved by Trotec.
Foreseeable misuse
Do not use the device in potentially explosive atmospheres,
when wet or very humid.
Unauthorized modifications of the device are forbidden.
Personnel qualifications

– 1. De-energise
– 2. Secure against restart
– 3. Verify de-energised state (bipolar)
– 4. Earth and short-circuit
– 5. Cover neighbouring live parts
•
use the measuring device in accordance with safe working
procedures.
•
be aware of the dangers that occur when working with
electric devices in damp areas.

Safety chapter.
Residual risks
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to insufficient insulation! Check the
device and the measuring cables for damages and
proper function before each use.
If you detect damages, do not use the device any
longer.
Do not use the device when either the device or your
hands are damp or wet!
Do not use the device when the battery compartment
or the housing is open.
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to contact with live parts! Do not
touch any live parts. Secure neighbouring live parts by
covering them or by switching them off.
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to contact with live parts! When
using the measuring tips, make sure not to reach
behind the protection against contact.
Warning of electrical voltage
There is a risk of a short-circuit due to liquids
penetrating the housing!
Do not immerse the device and the accessories in
water. Make sure that no water or other liquids can
enter the housing.
Warning of electrical voltage
Work on the electrical components must only be
carried out by an authorised specialist company!
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may
use it as a dangerous toy.
