1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community
Directives: 2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage)
as amended by 2014/32/EU (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category III 1000V; overvoltage category IV 600V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small
transient
over
voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III: Supplied from a cable under earth; fixed installed switches,
automatic cut-off
or main plugs
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines,
which are stand
in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e.
main-switches
on
current
input,
overvoltage-diverter,
current use counter.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury
due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from
any legal claims whatever.
Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement.
Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury
and/or destruction of the equipment).
The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it is not possible
to exclude without that impulses, transients, disturbance or for other reasons,
these voltages are exceeded a suitable presale (10:1) must be used.
Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-
circuit fuse or fuse holding.
Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before switching
modes or functions.
Do not conduct voltage measurements with the test leads connected to the
µA/mA/A- and COM-terminal of the equipment.
The 10A-range is protected by fuse 10A/1000V.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge
all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements.
Do not conduct current measurements with the leads connected to the V/Ω-
terminals of the equipment.
Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before
connection to the equipment.
Please use only 4mm-safety test leads to ensure immaculate function.
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions.
Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on
isolating mats.
Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
