Securing the device
If the device is not in a technically perfect and operationally safe condition, safe operation is no
longer guaranteed. Make sure that the following measures are taken:
• Switch off the device.
• Remove the device from the measuring point.
• Secure the device against unintentional operation.
The following characteristics indicate that safe operation is no longer guaranteed:
• The device (housing or safety measuring lines) shows visible damage or is damp/wet.
• The insulation of the safety measuring lines is damaged.
• The device does not work properly in compliance with regulations (e.g. errors during
measurements).
• The device shows recognisable consequences of prolonged storage under inadmissible
conditions.
• The device shows recognisable consequences of extraordinary stress due to transport.
2.5 Special types of risks
DANGER
Bare conductors or main line carriers
Danger to life or serious injury is possible due to contact with high electric voltage when working
with bare conductors or main line carriers.
• Please observe relevant regulations on occupational safety and health.
• If necessary, use appropriate protective equipment.
WARNING
Dangerous voltage
Danger to life or serious injury is possible due to contact with high electric voltage when working
on live components or equipment. Even low voltages from 30V‑AC and 60V‑DC on can be
dangerous to human life!
• Please observe relevant regulations on occupational safety and health.
• If necessary, use appropriate protective equipment.
