The voltage between any socket of the measuring instrument and earth
may not exceed 250 VDC/AC in excess voltage category III.
Take particular care when dealing with voltages exceeding 25 V AC or 35
V DC! Even at voltages as low as these, there is a danger of fatal elec-
tric shock if you touch electric conductors.
Check the measuring device and its measuring leads for any damage
before each measurement. Never make any measurements if the pro-
tecting insulation is defective (torn, missing etc.)
To avoid electric shock, do not to touch the connections/measuring
points directly or indirectly during measurements. While making meas-
urements, do not hold beyond the tangible markings on the grip of the
test probes.
Do not use the multimeter just before, during or just after an electrical
storm (electrical shock / high-energy overvoltages!). Make sure that your
hands, shoes, clothing, the floor, the measuring device and/or measuring
lines, the circuits and its parts are always dry.
Do not use the product inside of rooms, or in poor ambient conditions,
where flammable gases, vapours or explosive dust may be present or
are present!
Do not use near to:
- strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- transmitting aerials or HF generators,
These can affect the measurement.
For safety reasons, when measuring only use measuring cables or
accessories that are suitable for the specifications of the multimeter. Only
use double, or strengthened, insulated measuring accessories.
