Safety Precautions; General Safety Requirements - PeakTech 1295 Bedienungsanleitung

1. Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community
Directives: 2004/108/EG (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EG (Low
Voltage) as amended by 2004/22/EG (CE-Marking). Overvoltage category II;
pollution degree 2.
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 place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
* 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 presale (10:1) must be used.
* Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before switching
modes or functions.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before
connection to the equipment.
* To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions.
* Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on
isolating mats.
* Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
* The measurement instrument is not to be to operated unattended.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures,
humidity or dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers
etc.).
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up
measurement (important for exact measurements).
* Do not input values over the maximum range of each measurement to avoid
damages of the
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
* The meter is suitable for indoor use only
* Warning:
To avoid fire or electrical shock, when the oscilloscope input signal connected is
more than 42V peak (30Vrms) or on circuits of more than 4800VA, please take
note of below items:
