Operation
Allow the unit to acclimatise before taking a measurement.
Use the appliance only as described in this manual, otherwise the protective devices of this
|
appliance may be impaired.
Only use the unit if the housing is in perfect condition.
|
To avoid damage to the unit, do not exceed the maximum input values specified in the
|
technical data.
Pay attention to the function selector switch and make sure it is in the correct position before
|
each measurement.
Take special care when working on uninsulated conductors or busbars. (Wear protective
|
clothing if necessary)
Any accidental contact with the conductor may result in electric shock.
|
Take care when working with voltages above 60 V DC or 30 V AC RMS. There is a risk of
|
electric shock at such voltages.
Before each measurement, make sure that the tester is in good working order. Check the
|
function on a known, working power source before using the unit.
Be careful when working near open exposed ladders or collection ladders. Individual
|
protective equipment should be used.
Definition of the measurement categories
Measurement category II: Measurements on circuits that are electrically connected directly to
the low-voltage mains via plugs. Typical short-circuit current < 10 kA
Measurement category III: Measurements within the building installation (stationary consumers
with non-pluggable connection, distribution connection, permanently installed devices in the
distribution board). Typical short-circuit current < 50 kA
Measurement category IV: Measurements at the source of the low-voltage installation (meter,
main connection, primary overcurrent protection). Typical short-circuit current >> 50 kA
To determine the measuring category for a combination of measuring cable and measuring
device, the lowest category of either the measuring cable or the measuring device always
applies.
When using this meter, the user must observe all the usual safety rules:
Protection against hazards caused by electric current.
|
Protection of the meter against misuse.

Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the housing at regular intervals with a dry cloth without cleaning agents. Do not use
abrasives, scouring agents or solvents.
To avoid electric shocks, do not allow moisture to enter the housing.
