booklet as well as the latest information under the internet link at the end of these instructions.
Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and passed
on together with the device.
Function/Application
Multimeter for taking measurements in the range of the overvoltage category CAT III up to max. 1000 V/CAT IV
up to max 600 V. The meter can be used to measure DC and AC voltages, direct and alternating currents,
resistances, capacitances, frequencies and duty factors within the specified ranges; it can also be used for
continuity and diode testing.
Symbols
Hazardous electrical voltage warning: Unprotected live components inside the devicehousing
may pose a risk of electric shock.
Danger area warning
Protection class II: The test device has reinforced or double insulation.
Overvoltage category II: Single-phase consumers that are connected to standard sockets,
e.g. household appliances, portable tools.
Overvoltage category III: Equipment in fixed installations and for applications where specific
requirements with regard to the reliability and availability of equipment have to be met,
e.g. circuit-breakers in fixed installations and devices used in industrial applications which
are permanently connected to the fixed installation.
Overvoltage category IV: Devices such as electricity meters, overcurrent circuit breakers and
ripple-control units, which are intended for use at or near the infeed into the electrical
installation of buildings, and specifically from the main distribution to the supply system.

Safety instructions

• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of
the specifications.
• The measuring tools and accessories are not toys. Keep out of reach of children.
• Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval
and safety specifications.
• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures or significant vibration.
• Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages higher than 24 V/AC rms or 60 V/DC.
Touching the electrical conductors at such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conductiveresidue, work must not be carried
out under voltage. At and above voltages of 24 V/AC rms / 60 V/DC, the presence of moisture
creates the risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• Clean and dry the device before use.
• When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions are appropriate and/or
that suitable protection measures are taken.
• In overvoltage category III (CAT III - 1000 V), the voltage between the test device and earth must
not exceed 1000 V.
