1) SAFETY Terms in this manual identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even death to WARNING the user. identifies conditions and actions that could cause damage or malfunction in the CAUTION instrument. This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the instrument safely and maintaining the instrument in a safe operating condition.
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS Caution ! Refer to the explanation in this Manual Caution ! Risk of electric shock Earth (Ground) Double Insulation or Reinforced insulation Fuse AC--Alternating Current DC--Direct Current 2) CENELEC DIRECTIVES The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage directive 2006/95/EC and Electromagnetic compatibility directive 2004/108/EC 3) PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Note: Top of the line model is used as representative for illustration purposes.
Analog bar-graph The analog bar graph provides a visual indication of measurement like a traditional analog meter needle. It is excellent in detecting faulty contacts, identifying potentiometer clicks, and indicating signal spikes during adjustments. Average sensing RMS calibrated RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC value of an AC signal.

function. 6V function range has the highest and the 1000V range has the lowest. It is recommended to first measure the signal voltage (or current) level then activate the Hz function in that voltage (or current) range to automatically set the most appropriate trigger level. You can also press the Level (RANGE) button momentarily to select another trigger level manually.

If the instrument voltage-resistance input terminal has subjected to high voltage transient (caused by lightning or switching surge to the system) by accident or abnormal conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will be blown off (become high impedance) like fuses to protect the user and the instrument.
