1. Safety instructions/using the equipment safely
Digital multimeter E conforms to safety regula-
tions for electrical measurement, control and la-
boratory equipment, as specified in DIN EN
61010-1, protection class 2 and to excess voltage
category CAT I for up to 600 V. It is intended for
measurements on experiments and laboratory
apparatus. It is not approved for measurements
on low-voltage mains distribution equipment,
such as sockets, fuses, etc.
The meter is intended for measurements within
its measuring ranges and in a measuring environ-
ment as described in detail in the course of this
manual. Safe operation of the multimeter is guar-
anteed if it is solely used as specified. Safety can-
not be guaranteed, however, if the multimeter is
used incorrectly or handled without due care and
attention.
In order to avoid serious injury due to current or
voltage shocks, the following safety instructions
are to be observed at all times.
The multimeter may only be used by persons who
are able to recognise the risks of contact and take
due precautions to avoid them. Voltages in ex-
cess of 33 V AC (RMS) or 70 V DC are to be re-
garded as actively dangerous if the current,
charge or energy stored should exceed certain
values (see DIN EN 61010-1).
Carefully read the instruction manual before
using the multimeter and obey the instruc-
tions therein.
The multimeter may only be used in a dry,
dust-free environment with no risk of explo-
sions occurring.
