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 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.

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).

Use caution when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC. These Voltages pose shock
hazard.

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

Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.

Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified
service personnel

Measuring instruments don't belong to children hands.
Cleaning the cabinet
Prior to cleaning the cabinet, withdraw the mains plug from the power outlet.
Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild household cleanser. Ensure that
no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.
