Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the
Tester, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe warnings can result in
severe
injury
or
death.
- Avoid working alone so assistance can
be
rendered. If the operators safety can not be
guaranteed, the Tester must be removed
from service and protected against use.
- Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument
function (e.g. on known voltage source)
before and after the test.
- Do not connect the instrument to voltages
higher than 750V.
- Do not open the battery cover before take
off from voltage source.
- The safety can no longer be insured if
the Tester :
• shows obvious damage • does not carry
out the desired measurements • has been
stored for too long under unfavorable
conditions • has been subjected to
mechanical stress (i.e. during transport).
- All relevant statutory safety regulations must
be adhered to when using this instrument.
- The Tester may no longer be used if one
or several functions fail or if no functionality
is indicated or the Tester looks damaged.
- When using this Tester, only the handles
of the probes may be touched do not touch
the probe tips
(
metal part).
- Do not use the Tester if the Tester is not
operating properly or if it is wet.
- Use the Tester only as specified in the
Instruction card including environmental
conditions and the usage in dry environments
must be followed or the protection by the
Tester might be impaired.
- Use extreme caution when working around
bare conductors or bus bar. Contact with
the conductor could result in an electric
shock.
- Use caution with voltages above 50V AC
rms or 110V DC. These voltages pose a
shock hazard.
