2. Safety notes
The instrument is built and tested in accordance with
DIN VDE 0411 part 1/ EN 61010-1
DIN VDE 0411 part 2-033/ EN 61010-2-033
DIN VDE 0411 part 031/ EN 61010-031
and has left the factory in perfectly safe technical condition.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation of the multimeter, the user must observe
the notes and warnings given in these instructions at all times. Improper handling and non-
observance of the warnings might involve severe
injuries
or
danger to life
.
WARNING! Be extremely careful when working with bare conductors or main
line carrier! Contact with live conductors will cause an electric shock!
The unit may be used only in electrical circuits of overvoltage category III
with a maximum voltage of 1000 V to earth, or of overvoltage category IV with
a maximum voltage of 600 V to earth.
Only use suitable measuring leads for this. With measurements within
measurement category III, the projecting conductive part of a contact tip of
the measuring leads must not be longer than 4 mm.
Prior to carrying out measurements within measurement category III, the
push-on caps provided with the set and marked with CAT III and CAT IV
must be pushed onto the contact tips. The purpose of this measure is user
protection.
Remember that work on electrical components of all kinds is dangerous.
Even low voltages of 30 V AC and 60 V DC may be dangerous to human life.
In order to prevent any danger, always measure a present voltage first
without low-pass filter (without high-frequency suppression) to detect a
dangerous voltage.
Before starting the multimeter, always check it as well as all measuring leads
and wires for signs of damage.
Should it appear that safe operation of the multimeter is no longer possible, it should be shut
down immediately and secured to prevent that it is switched on accidentally.
It may be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible:
-
if the instrument or the measuring leads show visible signs of damage, or
-
if the multimeter no longer works, or
-
after long periods of storage under unfavourable conditions, or
-
after being subjected to rough transport, or
-
if the device or the measuring leads are exposed to moisture.
In order to avoid danger,
-
do not touch the bare probe tips of the measuring leads,
-
insert the measurement leads in the appropriately designated measuring
sockets on the multimeter
Cleaning:
Regularly wipe the housing by means of a dry cloth and cleaning agent. Do
not use any polishing agents or solvents!
