Operation
Risk of electric shock during operation.
Be very careful when measuring live circuits.
Before measuring, always make sure the meter and/or test probes are not
verify the connections, selected function and range.
•
Never exceed the limit value for protection. This limit value is listed separately in the
specifications for each range of measurement.
•
Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is linked to a circuit which is being tested.
•
Only use the meter in the indicated overvoltage/installation category. Never measure voltages
that might exceed the indicated category values.
•
Disconnect the test leads from the tested circuit before rotating the range
change functions.
•
When carrying out measurements on a TV set or switching power circuits, always remember
that high amplitude voltage pulses at the test points might damage the meter.
•
Always be careful when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Keep your fingers
behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement.
•
Do not measure current in circuits with voltages > 250V
•
Never perform resistance, diode, continuity or capacitance measurements on live circuits.
Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are discharged.
7.1 Voltage measurements
Do not measure circuits where voltages > 600V CAT III or >
occur.
Always be careful when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Keep your
fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement.
