Read this manual thoroughly. Familiarise yourself with the functions
of the device before actually using it.
Only use the device for its intended purpose. Using the device in an
unauthorized way will void the warranty. Damage caused by
disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the
warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any
ensuing defects or problems.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock always disconnect the test
leads prior to opening the housing. To prevent fire hazards, install
fuses with the same specifications as shown.
Remark: refer to the warning on the back of the meter
Keep the device away from children and unauthorised users.
Protect this device from shocks and abuse. Avoid brute force when
operating.
Avoid cold, heat and large temperature fluctuations. When the unit is
moved from a cold to a warm location, leave it switched off until it
has reached room temperature. This to avoid condensation and
measuring errors.
This is an installation category CAT II 600V measuring
instrument. Never use this equipment in a higher category than
indicated. Refer to §4 Overvoltage /installation category.
Pollution degree 2-device. For indoor use only. Keep this device
away from rain, moisture, splashing and dripping liquids. Not for
industrial use. Refer to §5 Pollution degree.
Before each use, make sure the test probes are in good condition.
Always place your fingers behind the protective edges of the test
probes while measuring! Never touch free terminals when the
meter is connected to a circuit.
Make sure the meter is in the appropriate measuring range before
connecting it to a test circuit.
Risk of electric shock during operation. Be very careful when
measuring live circuits. Use extreme caution when measuring
voltages higher than 60Vdc or 30Vac rms.
Do not measure circuits that may contain voltages > 600V
Do not measure current in circuits with voltages > 250V
Do not conduct resistance, diode- or continuity measurements on
live circuits. For transistor tests, use the included transistor socket.
