2. INTENDED USE
The current injection probe issued for measuring and displaying electric parameters in the
range of overvoltage category III (up to 1000 V against earth potential, pursuant to
EN 61010-1) and all lower categories.
• Measurement of direct and alternating voltages up to 1,000 V (CAT III), 600 V (CAT IV)
• Measurement of alternating currents up to 600 A
• Measurement of direct currents up to 600 A (only VC732)
• Capacity measurement up to 4 mF
• Measurement resistance values of up to 100 k
Ω
• Continuity test (acoustic)
• Diode test
• Temperature measurement up to 1000 °C (only VC731)
Operation is only permissible with the indicated battery/rechargeable battery type (see
chapter “Technical Data” at the end of these operating instructions).
The current injection probe must not be operated when it is open, i.e. with an open battery
compartment or when the battery compartment cover is missing.
Measurements in moist rooms or under detriment ambience conditions such as wetness or
high humidity, dust, flammable gases, vapours, solvents, thunderstorm or strong
electrostatic fields are not permissible.
For safety reasons, only use measuring lines or accessories which are adjusted to the
specifications of the current injection probe when measuring.
Any use other than that described above damages the product. Moreover, this is linked to
dangers such as short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product must be
modified or converted!
Always observe the safety information!
These operating instructions are part of this product. They contain important notes on
