3.0 Safety Rerferences
The respective accident pre-
vention regulations established
by the professional associations
for electrical systems and
equipment must be strictly met
at all times.
In order to avoid electrical
shock, the valid safety and VDE
regulations regarding excessive
contact voltages must receive
utmost attention, when working
with voltages exceeding 120V
(60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC.
The values in brackets are valid
for limited ranges (as for exam-
ple medicine and agriculture).
Measurements in dangerous
proximity of electrical systems
are only to be carried out in
compliance with the instruc-
tions of a responsible electro-
nics technician, and never
alone.
If the operator’s safety is no lon-
ger ensured, the instrument is to
be put out of service and pro-
tected against use. The safety is
no longer insured, if the instru-
ment:
•
shows obvious damage
•
does not carry out the desired
measurements
•
has been stored for too long
under unfavourable conditions
•
has been subjected to mechani-
cal stress during transport.
The instrument may only be
used within the operating ran-
ges as specified in the technical
data section.
