2. Safety
2.3 Special hazards
WARNING!
Do not apply a voltage greater than the specified voltage to the
■
instrument. See chapter 3 "Specifications".
Make sure that the test probes never contact a voltage source while
■
the test cables are connected to the current terminals.
Do not use the calibrator if it is damaged. Before using the
■
instrument, check that there are no cracks or missing plastic parts on
the case. Pay particular attention to the insulation of the connectors.
Select the proper function and correct measuring range for the
■
measurement.
The battery cover must be closed and locked in place before the
■
instrument is operated.
Remove the test cables from the instrument before opening the
■
battery compartment.
Inspect the test cables for damaged insulation or exposed metal.
■
Check the continuity of the test leads. Damaged test leads should be
replaced before using the instrument.
When using test probes keep fingers away from the test probe
■
contacts. Keep your fingers behind the test probes' finger guards.
First connect the common lead, and then the live lead. When
■
disconnecting, remove the live test lead first.
Do not use the instrument if it is not working properly. The instrument
■
protection might be compromised. If in doubt, have the instrument
checked.
Do not operate the instrument in areas with explosive gases, vapours
■
or dust.
When measuring pressure, make sure that the process pressure
■
line is shut off and depressurised before it is connected to or
disconnected from the pressure module.
Disconnect test leads before changing to another measurement or
■
generation function.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock
■
or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator
appears.
In order to avoid any possible damage to the instrument or the test
■
equipment, use the correct leads, the correct function and the correct
range for the measuring application.
