Safety Information

Be extremely careful when using this meter. Improper use of this device can result
in electric shock or destruction of the meter. Take all normal safety precautions and
follow the safeguards suggested in this manual.
To exp on full functionality of the meter and ensure safe operation, please read
carefully and follow the directions in this manual. If the equipment is used in a manner
not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
This meter is designed and manufactured according to safety requirements of
EN 61010-1, EN 61010-2-032, EN 61010-2-033 concerning electronic measuring
instruments with a measurement CAT Ill 600V and pollution degree 2 and safety
requirements for hand-held clamps for electrical measurement and test.
With proper use and care, this digital multimeter will give you years of satisfactory
service.
Preliminary
1. When using the meter, the user must observe all normal safety rules concerning :
General protection against electric shock.
Protection of the meter against misuse.
2. When the meter is delivered, check whether it has been damaged in transit.
3. After being stored and delivered under harsh conditions, the meter should be
checked and confirmed whether any damages have been incurred.
4. Test leads must be kept in good condition . Before using check whether the insulation
on test leads has been damaged and any wire has been exposed.
5. Use the test leads supplied to ensure operation safety. If required, they must be
replaced with test leads of the same model or class.

During Use

1. Use the right input jack, function and range.
2. Do not take measurements that exceed the protection limit values indicated in the
specifications.
3. Do not touch the metal tips of the test leads when the meter is connected to the
circuit to be measured.
4. Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers when taking a measurement with an
effective voltage above 60V DC or 30V rms AC .
5. Do not take voltage measurement if the value between the terminals and earth
ground exceeds 600V.
6. Select the highest range if the value scale to be measured in the manual range is
unknown.
7. Disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test before turning the rotary selector
to change functions.
8. Do not measure the resistance, capacitance, diode or continuity of live circuits.
9. Do not connect the meter to any voltage source while the rotary selector is in the
current, resistance, capacitance, diode or continuity range.
10. Do not take capacitance measurements until the capacitor to be measured has
been fully discharged.
