2. Preparation for Operation
2.1. Power Cable
The detachable supply cable, comprising of 3 core PVC cable permanently molded to fully shrouded
3-pin socket, fits in the power input plug recess and should be fitted fully. The supply lead should be
connected to a grounded AC power receptacle ensuring, that the ground lead is connected, to avoid
electrical shock.
2.2. Line voltages
Your instrument is operative within the line voltage ranges of 115/230V
10% at 50/60Hz; max.
power consumption 10W.
Disconnect all test cables, probes and power cord while changing the line voltage you desired.
2.3. Bench Mounting
This instrument is fitted for rubber feet. A plastic tilt stand is provided to facilitate the viewing angle of
the instrument from the bench-level.
2.4. Using the test leads
Use only the type of test leads supplied with your meter. These test leads are rated for 1000 volts.
Warning!
*
If you try to measure voltages above 1000V DC/AC, you might damage your instrument and
expose yourself to a serious shock hazard. Use extreme care when you measure high voltages.
*
Never connect the test leads plug into the COM
– terminal to a source of voltage greater than
1000V with respect to earth ground. This creates a serious shock.
