f) Probes
• The probe cables have a wear indicator. When damaged, a second insulation layer in a different colour
becomes visible. The measuring accessories must no longer be used and must be replaced.
• During measuring, do not grip beyond the grip range markings indicated on the measuring probes.
• When using the measuring probes without cover caps, measurements
between the meter and the earth potential must not be performed
above the measuring category CAT II.
• When measuring in the measuring category CAT III. Measuring
probes with cover caps (max. 4 mm free contact length) must be
used to avoid accidental short circuits during measurement. They
are enclosed.
• The measuring probes must be removed from the measured object each time the measuring function
is changed.
• The voltage between the connection points of the meter and the earth potential must not exceed 600
V DC/AC in CAT III.
• Risk of fatal electric shock! Be careful when dealing with voltages higher than 33 V/AC or 70 V/DC.
