Safety Precautions - PeakTech 1640 Bedienerhandbuch

1. Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following
European Community Directives: 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2004/22/EC (CE-Marking). Overvoltage category III 600V;
pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with
small transient over voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller
transient overvoltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead
lines, which are stand in a risk of persuade of a
lightning, i.e. main-switches
overvoltage-diverter, current use counter.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the
danger of serious injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the
following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety
precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever.
* Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial
installation measurement.
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings
(danger of serious injury and/or destruction of the
equipment).
* The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages.
If it is not possible to exclude without that impulses,
transients, disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages
are exceeded a suitable prescale (10:1) must be used.
* Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit
before switching modes or functions.
* To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under
test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
resistance measurements.
