INtENDED uSE
- Measuring and displaying electric parameters in the range of excess measuring category CAT III (up to max. 250V
against ground potential, pursuant to EN 61010-1) and all lower categories. The meter must not be used in the
measuring category CAT IV.
- Measuring direct and alternating voltage up to a maximum of 250 V
- Measurement of direct and alternating current up to 10 A (VC130-1/VC150-1 direct current only)
- Frequency measuring 10 Hz up to 10 MHz (only VC170-1)
- Measuring of resistance up to 20 MOhm (VC170-1 up to 40 MOhm)
- Acoustic continuity check
- Diode test
- No-contact 230V/AC voltage test
- hFE transistor test (only with optional measuring adapter)
- Temperature measuring from -40 to +1000°C (only VC150-1)
The two current measuring inputs are secured against overload. The voltage in the measuring circuit may not
exceed 250 V. The measuring ranges are equipped with ceramic high-performance fuses.
The device may only be operated with the specified batteries.
The measuring instrument must not be operated when it is open, i.e. with an open battery compartment or when the
battery compartment cover is missing. Measuring in damp rooms or under unfavourable ambient conditions is not
admissible.
For safety reasons, when measuring only use measuring cables or accessories which are adjusted to the specifica-
tions of the multimeter.
Unfavourable ambient conditions are:
- Wetness or high air humidity
- Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvent,
- Thunderstorms or similar conditions such as strong electrostatic fields etc.
Any use other than the one described above damages the product. Moreover, this involves dangers such as e.g.
short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product must be modified or rebuilt!
Read the operating instructions carefully and retain them for later reference.
The safety instructions must be observed at all times.
