Precautions Before Use
The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and completely understand the
precautions before use.
If you use this instrument in an unspecified manner, the protection it ensures can be compromised,
thus putting you in danger.
•
This instrument is designed for use:
- indoors
- in a level 2 pollution environment
- at an altitude below 2000 m
- at a temperature between 0° C and 40° C
- with a relative humidity of less than 80% up to 35° C.
•
The safety of all systems, including the instrument, is the responsibility of the operator.
•
It can be used for measurements on 600V CAT III circuits, relative to the ground/earth.
•
Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the cables, boxes, sensors and
accessories. Any element on which the insulation is damaged (even partially) must be taken out
of service for repair or disposal.
•
Respect the environmental and storage conditions.
•
The external power supply must be connected to the instrument and to the network
(98 to 264 VAC).
•
The power supply to the instrument is fitted with an automatically resettable electrical protection
after disappearance of the fault.
•
As a safety measure, only use factory supplied parts and accessories.
•
It is advised to use individual safety protection whenever the environmental situations in which
the instrument is used require it.
•
When handling the sensors or test probes, do not place your fingers beyond the physical guard.
•
If the battery housing cover is absent, damaged or incorrectly positioned, the instrument must
not be used other than to adjust the sensors.
Definition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
CAT IV Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage
installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
CAT III Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
CAT II Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to
low-voltage installations.
Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.
Symbols Used
CAUTION! Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the
parts marked with this symbol may be dangerous.
Warning: Risk of danger. Refer to the operating manual to find out the nature of the
potential hazards and the action necessary to avoid such hazards.
Earth/Ground
Dual insulation
The trash can with a line through it means that in the European Union, the product
must undergo selective disposal for the recycling of electric and electronic material, in
compliance with Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC.
The CE marking guarantees conformity with European directives and with regulations
covering EMC.
Application or withdrawal not authorized for non-insulated conductors carrying dan-
gerous voltage levels
