Transport And Storage; Safety Measures - Amprobe 0100-PLUS Bedienungshandbuch

Transport and Storage

Please keep the original packaging for later transport, e.g. for calibration. Any transport
damage due to faulty packaging will be excluded from warranty claims.
In order to avoid instrument damage, we recommend that accumulators are removed when
not using the instrument over a certain period of time. However, should the instrument be
contaminated by leaking batteries cells, you are kindly requested to return it to the factory
for cleaning and inspection.
Instruments must be stored in dry and closed areas. In the case of an instrument being
transported in extreme temperatures, a recovery time of at least 2 hours is required prior to
instrument operation.

Safety Measures

The Amprobe 0100 PLUS has been designed and checked in accordance with the safety
regulations for Electronic test and Measurement Instruments EN 61010 and IEC 61010, and
left our factory in a safe and perfect condition.
• The instruction manual contains information and references necessary for safe operation
and maintenance of the instrument.
• The respective accident prevention regulations established by the professional association
for electrical systems and equipment must be strictly met at all times.
• In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations regarding excessive
contact voltages must receive the utmost attention when working with voltages exceeding
120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC. The values in brackets are valid for limited ranges (for
example medicine and agriculture).
• Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to be executed
when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never alone.
• If the operator's safety is no longer guaranteed, the instrument is to be put out of service
and protected against use. The safety can no longer be guaranteed if the instrument (or
leads):
• shows obvious damage
• does not carry out the desired measurements
• has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions
• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
• Prior to usage, inspect the instrument and test leads for external damage. Prior to any
operation, ensure that connecting leads used and instruments are in perfect condition.
• The test leads, the measurement accessories and the mains plug may only be touched at the
handle section provided. Direct contact of measurement ports or test probes must be
avoided.
• Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect functioning
and long instrument life.
