suffi cient ventilation must be assured as convection cooling is
used. For continuous operation prefer a horizontal or slightly
upward position using the feet.
Do not cover either the holes of the case nor the

are typical values of an average instrument.

Warranty and Repair

HAMEG instruments are subjected to a strict quality control.
Prior to leaving the factory, each instrument is burnt-in for
10 hours. By intermittent operation during this period almost
all defects are detected. Following the burn-in, each instru-
ment is tested for function and quality, the specifi cations are
checked in all operating modes; the test gear is calibrated to
national standards.
The warranty standards applicable are those of the country
in which the instrument was sold. Reclamations should be di-
rected to the dealer.
Only valid in EU countries
In order to speed reclamations customers in EU countries may
also contact HAMEG directly. Also, after the warranty expired,
the HAMEG service will be at your disposal for any repairs.
Return material authorization (RMA):
Prior to returning an instrument to HAMEG ask for a RMA
number either by internet (http://www.hameg.com) or fax. If
you do not have an original shipping carton, you may obtain
one by calling the HAMEG sales dept (+49-6182-800-300) or
by sending an email to vertrieb@hameg.com.

damage to the lacquered or plastic surfaces is pos-
sible.

Mains voltage

A main voltage of 115V and 230V can be chosen. Please check
whether the mains voltage used corresponds with the volta-
ge indicated by the mains voltage selector on the rear panel.
If not, the voltage has to be changed. In this case the line fuse
has to be changed, too.
Please note:
After changing the main voltage, the line fuse has
to be changed. Otherwise the instrument may be

Changing the line fuse

The fuses are accessible from the outside and contained in
the line voltage connector housing. Before changing a fuse
disconnect the instrument from the line, the line cord must
be removed. Check fuse holder and line cord for any damages.
Use a screw driver to loosen the fuse holder screw counter-
clockwise while pressing the top of the fuse holder down. The
top holding the fuse will then come off. Exchange the defective
fuse against a correct new one.
It is forbidden to repair defective fuses or to bridge them by any
means. Any damage caused this way will void the warranty.
