Caution!
Only use the safety test leads included in the scope of delivery or
equivalent leads that comply with the same measurement category.
In order to avoid an electric shock, comply with the precautions when working with voltages
|
greater than 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) eff. AC. 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)
Before taking each measurement, ensure that the test leads and the test instrument are in
|
perfect operating condition.
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.
