Product Description - VOLTCRAFT VC-585 Bedienungsanleitung

• Check the meter and its measuring lines for damage before each measurement. Never carry out any
measurements if the protecting insulation is defective (torn, ripped off etc.). The enclosed measuring
cables have a wear indicator. When they are damaged, a second insulation layer in a different colour
becomes visible. The measuring accessories must no longer be used and must be replaced.
• Do not use the multimeter just before, during or just after a thunderstorm (lightning! / high-energy over-
voltage!). Make sure that your hands, shoes, clothing, the floor, circuits and circuit components are dry.
• Never operate the product in direct proximity of:
- strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- transmitter aerials or HF generators.
• This could affect the measurement.
• If you have reason to believe that the device can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it immediately
and make sure it is not operated unintentionally. It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer pos-
sible if:
- the device shows any visible damage,
- the device no longer works and
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for an extended period of time or
- after it was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.
• Do not switch the meter on immediately after it was taken from a cold to a warm environment. The
condensation that forms might destroy your device. Allow the device to reach room temperature before
switching it on.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Also observe the safety information in each chapter of these instructions.

7. Product Description

The multimeter (referred to as DMM in the following) indicates measured values on an LC display that can be illumi-
nated. The measured value display of the DMM comprises 4000 counts (count = smallest display value).
An automatic deactivation switches off the device automatically if it is not operated for an extended period. This saves
battery power and thus extends the period of operation. Automatic deactivation can be deactivated.
The meter can be used for do-it-yourself or for professional applications up to measurement category CAT III.
There are transport protection caps in the angled plugs of the enclosed measuring lines. Remove them before pushing
the plugs into the meter sockets.
