Intended Use - VOLTCRAFT VC-337 Bedienungsanleitung

3. Intended use

• Measurement and display of the electrical quantities in the range of measurement category CAT II up to max.
600 V or measurement category CAT III up to max. 300 V against earth potential according to EN 61010-1 as well
as all lower measuring categories. The multimeter must not be used in the measuring category CAT IV.
• Measurement of direct and alternating currents up to max. 40 A
• Measures DC and AC voltages to a maximum of 600 V
• Measures resistance up to 40 MΩ
• Measures capacity up to 100 µF
• Continuity test (<50 Ω acoustic)
• Diode test
• Non-contact AC voltage test (NCV) ≥120 V/AC and ≤80 mm distance
The measurement modes are selected using the rotary dial. The measuring range is selected automatically in many
measuring functions.
Effective (True RMS) measurements are displayed when measuring AC voltages/currents.
Negative polarity readings are indicated with the (-) sign.
The current is measured via the current clamp. The circuit does not need to be opened to take a measurement. The
current clamp can also be used to take measurements on uninsulated, hazardous conductors. The voltage in the cur-
rent measuring circuit may not exceed 600 V in CAT II or 300 V in CAT III. The use of personal protective equipment
is recommended for CAT III measurements.
The multimeter is powered by two standard 1.5V micro batteries (type AAA, LR03). Only use batteries of the specified
type. Do not use 1.2 V rechargeable batteries. Automatic power-off prevents premature discharge of the batteries. The
automatic power-off feature can be disabled.
Do not use the multimeter when the battery compartment is open or when the battery compartment cover is missing.
Do not take measurements in potentially explosive areas, damp rooms or adverse conditions. Adverse conditions
include: Moisture or high humidity, dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents, thunderstorms, and strong elec-
tromagnetic fields.
For safety reasons, only use test leads or accessories that match the multimeter's specifications.
The multimeter must only be used by people who are familiar with the relevant regulations and understand the poten-
tial hazards. The use of personal protective equipment is recommended.
This product is not intended to be used by people (including children) with impaired physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge. The use of measuring devices must be supervised by
trained personnel.
Using this product for any purposes other than those described above may damage the product and result in a short
circuit, fire or electric shock. The product must not be modified or reassembled!
Read the operating instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place for future reference.
Always observe the safety information in these instructions.
