12 Taking measurements
Never exceed the maximum permitted input values. Never touch
circuits or circuit components if they may carry voltages greater
than AC 30 Vr.m.s, 42.4 V peak or DC 60 V! This may cause a fatal
electric shock!
Measurements can only be taken when the battery and fuse
compartment is closed. Cables cannot be inserted when the
compartment is open.
Before measuring, check the connected test leads for damage,
such as cuts, tears and kinks. Never use damaged test leads, as
this may cause a fatal electric shock!
When taking measurements, do not touch any area beyond the grip
markings on the test probes / test leads.
Only connect the two test leads that you require to take
measurements. For safety reasons, remove all unnecessary test
leads from the device before taking a measurement.
Measurements in circuits rated at AC 30 Vr.m.s, 42.4 V peak or DC
60 V! must only be made by qualified and trained personnel who are
familiar with the relevant regulations and the associated hazards.
“OL” (overload) indicates that the measuring range has been exceeded.
The display shows the correct connection sequence of the measurement
terminals for each measurement mode. Follow the sequence indicated
on the display when connecting the test leads.
