Warning
Read“Safety Information”before using the meter. ProcessMeter ( referred to as “the meter ”)is a handheld,
battery-operated tool for measuring electrical parameters. It has all the features of a digital multimeter, it
could also output signals of direct voltage, current and frequency as well.
If the meter is damaged or something is missing, contact the place of purchase immediately. Contact a
distributor for information about DMM (digital multimeter) accessories.
2. Safety Information
The meter complies with IEC61010.1-93 Overvoltage CategoryII.Use the meter only as specified in this
