Safety precautions
The VM DCM 1 left the factory with its safety features in a perfect operating condition. The user
must comply with the specifications of the safety information contained in this manual in order to
maintain this condition.
Caution!
Only use the enclosed safety test leads or equivalent test leads that
meet the same measurement category.
When working with voltages greater than 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) eff, A.C. comply with
|
the safety precautions in order to avoid an electric shock. These values represent the limits of
safe-to-touch voltages in accordance with DIN VDE. (Values given in brackets apply e.g. to
the medical or agricultural sectors)
Ensure that the test leads and the test instrument are in perfect working order before taking
|
each measurement.
The test leads and probes must only be handled using the grips provided. Avoid touching the
|
probes under any circumstances.
The test instrument may only be used for the measurement ranges specified.
Attention!
Check for the correct function of the instrument (e.g. using a known
voltage source, see: DIN VDE 0105, part 1) before its use.
