1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community Directives: 2004/108/EG
(Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EG (Low Voltage) as amended by 2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category II; pollution degree 2.
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.
* The instrument must be set up so that the power plug can be removed from the socket easily.
* Prior to connection of the equipment to the mains outlet, check that the available mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage setting of the equipment.
* Connect the mains plug of the equipment only to a mains outlet with earth connection.
* Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
* Do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that the air is able to circulate freely inside.
* Do not insert metal objects into the equipment by way of the ventilation slots.
* Do not place water filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case of knock over of the
container).
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or destruction of the
equipment).
* To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking
any resistance measurements.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before connection to the equipment.
* 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.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
* The measurement instrument is not to be to operated unattended.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.)
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact
measurements).
* Do not input values over the maximum range of each measurement to avoid damages of the meter.
* Use caution when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC. These Voltages pose shock hazard.
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
* The meter is suitable for indoor use only
* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as terminal can carry
voltage.
* Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
* Do not modify the equipment in any way
* Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work bench to prevent damaging the controls at
the front.
* Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified service
personnel
*
