• The product is suitable for operation in dry spaces only. The entire product may
not become moist or wet. Never touch the product with wet hands to prevent
damage.
• Always verify that the multimeter is set to the appropriate unit before
measurement. An incorrect measurement could destroy the product!
• The voltage between the connection points may not exceed the maximum
permissible measurement voltage.
• Always remove the test leads from the test object before changing the measuring
range/function.
• Exercise extreme caution when handling alternating-current voltages >25 V (AC)
or direct-current voltages >35 V (DC)! Even at such voltages you can receive a
life-threatening electric shock upon contact with electric wires.
• Always check the multimeter and test leads for damage before each
measurement. Never conduct a measurement if the insulation or the product
itself is damaged!
• To prevent electric shock, make sure not to touch the connections/measuring
points to be measured directly or indirectly during measurement.
• Do not touch beyond the feelable handle markings on the test leads and the
multimeter during measurement.
• Avoid use in the direct vicinity of:
- strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- transmitting antennas or high-frequency generators.
• During operation, always make sure that the clamp sensor is not pinching any
parts i.e. cables.
• Heed correct polarity when connecting the test leads to the multimeter.
(red = positive terminal, black = negative terminal)
• Please refer to the description of illustrations contained in each chapter for
different types of measurement. An incorrect measurement could destroy the
product.
• Remove the protective caps from the connection jacks before connecting the
test leads. Always return the protective caps after each measurement to prevent
soiling of the contacts.
• Observe all other safety instructions in each chapter of these instructions.
