Operating instruction

Safety information

This meter has been designed according to
IEC-61010 concerning electronic measuring
instruments with a measurement category
(CAT II) and pollution degree 2.
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury, follow these guidelines:
1. Do not use the meter if it is damaged.
Before you use the meter, inspect the case.
Pay particular attention to the insulation sur-
rounding the connectors.
2. Inspect the test leads for damaged insula-
tion or exposed metal. Check the test leads
for continuity. Replace damaged test leads
before you use the meter.
3. Do not use the meter if it operates abnor-
mally. Protection may be impaired. When in
doubt, have the meter serviced.
4. Do not operate the meter around explosi-
ve gas, vapor, or dust.
5. Do not apply more than the rated voltage,
as marked on the meter, between terminals
or between any terminal and earth ground.
6. Before use, verify the meter's operation by
measuring a known voltage.
7. When measuring current, turn off circuit
power before connecting the meter in the
circuit. Remember to place the meter in se-
ries with the circuit.
8. When servicing the meter, use only speci-
fied replacement parts.
9. Use caution when working above 30V
ac rms, 42V peak, or 60V dc. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.

10. When using the probes, keep your fin-
gers behind the finger guards on the probes.
11. When making connections, connect the
common test lead before you connect the
live test lead. When you disconnect test
leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
12. Remove the test leads from the meter be-
fore you open the battery cover or the case.
13. Do not operate the meter with the batte-
ry cover or portions of the case removed or
loosened.
14.To avoid false readings, which could lead
to possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the battery as soon as the low batte-
ry indicator („ ") appears.
15. To avoid electric shock, do not touch any
naked conductor with your hand or skin, do
not ground yourself while using the meter.
16. When in Relative mode ( the symbol „
REL " appears) or in Data Hold mode ( the
symbol appears ), caution must be used
because hazardous voltage may be present.
17. Remaining endangerment:
When an input terminal is connected to dan-
gerous live potential it is to be noted that this
potential at all other terminals can occur!
18. CATII - Measurement Category II is for
measurements performed on circuits direct-
ly connected to low voltage installation. (
Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar equip-
ments. ) Do not use the meter for measure-
ments within Measurement Categories III
and IV.
