Safety

The UNITEST Clamp Meter CHB 5 has been manufactured and tested to comply with
the safety regulations for electronic measuring equipment contained in DIN VDE 0411
and EN 61010, and left our works in a safe condition.To maintain this condition, the user
must observe the safety instructions contained in this Instruction Manual.
To avoid electric shock, safety measures must be observed when working with
voltages higher than 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) RMS AC. These are the values
of threshold contact voltages given by DIN VDE. The values in brackets apply to
medical and agricultural applications.
Before each measurement make sure that the test leads and the instrument are
undamaged.
Only handle test leads and probes on the grips provided. Avoid touching probes
under any circumstances.
The relevant safety regulations for electrical plant and equipment must be obser-
ved during all operations.
The instrument must only be used in the specified ranges.
Before opening the instrument, it must be disconnected from all circuits.
Protect the instrument from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

The instrument may only be used under those conditions and for those purposes
for which it was conceived. For this reason, in particular the safety references, the
technical data including environmental conditions and the usage in dry environ-
ments must be followed.
When modifying or changing the instrument, the operational safety is no longer
ensured.
The instrument may only be opened by an authorised service technician, e.g. for
fuse replacement.
