Please pay attention to the following symbols:
A triangle containing an exclamation mark, in these operating instructions,
indicates important information that has to be observed without fail.
The triangle containing a lightning symbol warns of danger of an electric shock or
of the impairment of the electrical safety of the device.
The “hand” symbol informs you that there are special tips and hints concerning the
operation.
This product has been CE tested and meets the necessary European guidelines.
Warning! This is a class A device. It can cause radio interferences in the living area;
in this case, it can be demanded from the operator that he carries out appropriate
measures.
CAT 0
Overvoltage category 0 for measurments on signal and control voltages without
powerful discharges.
CAT II
Overvoltage category II for measurements on electric household devices connected
to the mains supply with a power plug.
Earth conductor, protection class 1. This screw/connector must not be loosened.
Earth potential
I / 0
Operating switch I =On /0 = Off
Regularly check the technical safety of the instrument and measuring lines,
e.g. check for damage to the housing or squeezing etc. Never operate the
device when it is open!
!RISK OF FATAL INJURY!
Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Never touch circuits or
parts of circuits with voltages of more than 25 V/ACrms or 35 V/DC! Mortal
danger!
Unpacking
Check all parts for completeness and damage after unpacking.
Damaged parts must not be used for safety reasons. In case of any damage
contact our customer service.
Unit installation
Set up the device using the handle or the device’s pedastal to operate and read out the device
comfortably.
In order to comply with the technical tolerance data the device has to be
operating for about 30 minutes within the given operating temperature range.
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the device. Do not cover or seal the ventilation
apertures of the device!
Start-up
Make sure that the back selector switch for the mains voltage corresponds with your electricity
network. The switch position can be observed by the imprint. In Europe you must unconditionally
use the setting “230 V”.
Connect the provided mains cable to the mains connector at the back of the device and connect
the Schuko plug to an earthed mains socket.
Swich on the device with the power switch (POWER I/0).
After a short initialization period the device is ready-for-operation.
Connect the measuring lines to the connectors “Input”. The red connector “V” corresponds
with the positive pole for the voltage and resistance measurement; the black connector is the
negative pole.
Use the red connector “A” and the black connector for current measurements.
Select the corresponding measuring function and connect the measuring probes to the
measuring circuit.
For safety reasons the indicated maximum measurement voltage must not
be exceeded.
Remove the probe from the object after finishing the measuring, and turn off the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always observe the following safety instructions before cleaning the device:
Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed
(unless this can be done without tools).
Prior to cleaning or repairing the device, all lines have to be detached and
the device must be turned off.
Always replace defective micro-fuses with new ones of the indicated type
and rated amperage. Using repaired fuses or bypassing the fuse carrier is
not per- mitted due to safety reasons.
Do not use abrasive, chemical or aggressive cleaning agents such as benzine, alcohol or such-
like. The surface of the device could be corroded. Furthermore, the fumes are hazardous to
your health, and are explosive. Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers
or metal brushes or similar for cleaning.
For cleaning the device or the display and the measuring lines, use a clean, lint-free, antistatic
slightly damp cloth.
