    1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This multimeter has been designed according to IEC1010 concerning electronic measuring instruments with an overvoltage category (CAT II 1000V, CAT III 600V) and pollution 2. To get the best service from this instrument, read carefully this user's manual and respect the detailed safety precautions.
  • Page 4 * When the range of the value to be measured is unknown, check that the range initially set on the multimeter is the highest position. * To avoid damages to the instrument, do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values. * Caution when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms.
  • Page 5 1.1.4 Instructions * Before opening up the instrument, always disconnect from all sources of electric current and make sure you are not charged with static electricity, which may destroy internal components. * Any adjustment, maintenance or repair work carried out on the meter while it is live should be carried out only by appropriately qualified personnel, after having taken into account the instructions in this present manual.
