1.2 DURING
USE
Carefully read the following recommendations and instructions:
CAUTION
Failure to observe the warnings and/or instructions may damage the
instrument and/or its components or generate a danger for the operator. If,
during use, the low battery symbol appears on the display, insert the supply
cable into the Europlug socket to start battery recharge. During battery
recharge, it is possible to perform measurements
Before selecting a new function, disconnect the measuring probes from the circuit
When the instrument is connected to the circuit being tested, never touch any unused
lead
Avoid measuring resistance with external voltages. Even if the instrument is protected,
as an excess voltage may cause instrument malfunctions
In case of a capacitive test object (long tested cable etc.), automatic discharge of the
object may not be done immediately after finishing the measurement – “Please wait,
discharging” message will be displayed
Handling with capacitive loads note that 40nF charged to 1kV or 5nF charged to 10 kV
are hazardous live
1.3 AFTER
USE
When measurements are completed, turn off the instrument by pressing the ON/OFF key
1.4 DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORY
Standard "IEC/EN61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements", defines what is intended for
measurement category, commonly known as overvoltage category. In § 6.7.4: Measuring
circuits, it reads:
Circuits are divided into the following measurement categories:
Measurement category IV
is for measurements performed at the source of a low-
voltage installation
Examples are electric counters and measurements on primary devices protecting
against overcurrents and on ripple adjusting units
Measurement category III
is for measurements performed on installations inside
buildings
Examples
are
measurements
performed on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring
harnesses, including cables, bars, junction boxes, switches, sockets of fixed
installations and appliances designed for industrial use and other equipment, e.g.
stationary motors connected to fixed systems
Measurement category II
is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the low-voltage installation
Examples are measurements performed on household appliances, portable tools and
similar equipment
Measurement category I
is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to the MAINS
Examples are measurements performed on circuits not derived from the MAINS and on
circuits derived from the MAINS provided with a special (internal) protection. In this
latter case, the stress caused by the transients is variable; therefore, (OMISSIS) it is
necessary that the user knows the appliance’s resistance to transients
