Safety Precautions - PeakTech 3260 Bedienungsanleitung

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 on current input, 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. This instrument is intended for use in installation
overvoltage category III according to IEC 664.
* 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.
