Safety notes
Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The
device may only be used by qualified personnel and repaired by PCE Instruments personnel.
Damage or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual are excluded from our liability and
not covered by our warranty.
•
The device must only be used as described in this instruction manual. If used otherwise,
this can cause dangerous situations for the user and damage to the meter.
•
The instrument may only be used if the environmental conditions (temperature, relative
humidity, …) are within the ranges stated in the technical specifications. Do not expose
the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or moisture.
•
Do not expose the device to shocks or strong vibrations.
•
The case should only be opened by qualified PCE Instruments personnel.
•
Never use the instrument when your hands are wet.
•
You must not make any technical changes to the device.
•
The appliance should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use only pH-neutral cleaner,
no abrasives or solvents.
•
The device must only be used with accessories from PCE Instruments or equivalent.
•
Before each use, inspect the case and test leads for visible damage. If any damage is
visible, do not use the device.
•
Do not use the instrument in explosive atmospheres.
•
The measurement range as stated in the specifications must not be exceeded under
any circumstances.
•
If the battery is flat (e.g. indicated by the battery indicator), the meter must no longer
be used as incorrect measured values can cause life-threatening situations. When full
batteries are used again, the measuring operation may be continued.
•
Before each use, check the meter by measuring a known quantity.
•
This meter is suitable for measurements in circuits with an overvoltage category CAT
III up to a voltage of 1000 V.
•
To ensure safe operation before starting the measurement, always check whether the
correct measurement range is selected and whether the test leads are plugged into the
sockets intended for the respective measurement.
•
Measurements of resistance, capacitance and temperature as well as diode tests may
only be carried out in voltage-free state.
•
The bare measuring tips must never be touched because there is a risk of electric
shock.
•
Be extra careful when measuring high voltages.
•
Before opening the housing to replace the battery or fuse, remove all test leads,
otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
•
If you do not want the meter to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage caused by battery leakage.
•
Non-observance of the safety notes can cause damage to the device and injuries to
the user.
We do not assume liability for printing errors or any other mistakes in this manual.
We expressly point to our general guarantee terms which can be found in our general terms of
business.
