• Current measurements may only be carried out in circuits which
are themselves fused at 16 A or in which no voltage greater
than 250 VDC/VAC rms or powers greater than 4000 VA can
arise. The measuring device must not be used in installations of
overvoltage category III in accordance with IEC 664. The measu-
ring device and instrument leads are not protected against arc
explosions (IEC 1010-2-031, Section 13.101). The unit may be
used ungrounded with up to 750 VAC or 1000 VDC between
V/Ohm and COM only in Overvoltage category II installations
per IEC 664.
• Measuring devices and their accessories are not toys and do not
on any account belong in children's hands!
• In industrial facilities the accident prevention regulations of the
Industrial Employers' Liability Association for electrical systems
and equipment must be observed.
• In schools, training facilities, hobby and self-help workshops,
the handling of measuring devices must be supervised responsi-
bly by trained personnel.
• When opening covers or removing components, except where
this can be performed manually, live parts may be exposed.
Connection points may also be live. Before any adjustment,
maintenance, repair or replacement of components or assem-
blies, the device must be disconnected from all voltage sources
and circuits if it is necessary to open the device. If an adjust-
ment, a maintenance task or repair is subsequently required
on the opened device while it is live, these must only be per-
formed by a specialist who is familiar with the associated
hazards and relevant regulations (VDE-0100, VDE-0701, VDE-
0683).
• Capacitors in the device may still be charged, even when the
device has been isolated from all voltage sources and circuits.

actual measured value in the large display. With the COMP func-
tion, comparative measurements can be carried out, during which
upper and lower limit values can be entered. The MEM (Memory)
and RCL (Recall) functions allow up to 8 measurement results to be
stored or recalled. An Auto Power Cut Off function switches the
DMM into stand-by after approx.
12 minutes, to avoid draining the battery unnecessarily. The mul-
timeter can be switched on again by setting the rotary switch first
to "Off" and then to the desired position again.
The DMM can be used universally in the hobby area as well as in
industrial, education and other fields.
3. Safety information
• CE-identification: The VC 350E digital multimeter is EMC tested
and complies with guideline 89/336/EEC; in addition, it is AC
tested and complies with the low voltage guideline 73/23/EEC.
• This instrument is constructed and tested in accordance with
DIN 57 411 part 1/VDE 0411 part 1, safety precautions for elec-
tronic measuring instruments or IEC 1010-1 and left the factory
in sound, technically-safe condition. To maintain this condition
and to guarantee safe operation, the user must comply with the
safety instructions and warning notices ("Attention!" and
"Note!") contained in these directions for use. The following
symbols must be observed:
= Attention! Dangerous voltages! Danger to life!
= Read the user's manual
CAT II
= Overvoltage category II
= Safety class II
