2.0 Safety Measures

The instruments Elma 1500B have been constructed and verified in compliance with the
safety measures for voltage testers DIN EN 61243-3, DIN VDE 0682 Part 401 (previously
DIN VDE 0680 Part 5), EN 61010, and IEC 1010 and have left the factory in safe and
perfect condition.

In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE
regulations regarding excessive contact voltages must
receive utmost attention, when working with voltages
exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC. The values
in brackets are valid forlimited ranges (as for example
medicine and agriculture).
Prior to measurement ensure that the test leads and the test
instrument are in perfect condition.
When using this instrument only the handles of the probes may
be touched – do not touch the probe tips.
The test instrument may only be used this instrument may only be
used within the ranges specified and within low voltage systems
up to 690V.
Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument function (e.g. on known
voltage source).
The voltage testers may no longer be used if one or several
functions fail or if no functionality is indicated.
