1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community Directives: 2004/108/EC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by 2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category II 1000V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small transient over voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable equipment
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines, which are stand in a risk of persuade of a
lightning, i.e. main-switches on current input, overvoltage-diverter, current use counter.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the
following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever.
Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement.
Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
Do not place water filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case of knock over of the
container).
Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it is not possible to exclude without that impulses,
transients, disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are exceeded a suitable presale (10:1) must be used.
Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before switching modes or functions.
Do not conduct voltage measurements with the test leads connected to the mA/A- and COM-terminal of the
equipment.
The 10A-range is protected. To avoid damage or injury, use the meter only in circuits limited by fuse or circuit breaker
to 10A or 2000VA.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
resistance measurements.
Do not conduct current measurements with the leads connected to the V/-terminals of the equipment.
Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before connection to the equipment.
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry
clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
The measurement instrument is not to be operated unattended.
Always start with the highest measuring range when measuring unknown values.
Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).
Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact
measurements).
