The Escola 10 multimeter conforms to the safety
requirements for electrical equipment for meas-
urement, control and laboratory use in DIN EN
61010 part 1. Safe operation of the apparatus is
guaranteed with correct handling. However, safety
is not guaranteed if the apparatus is handled im-
properly or carelessly.
• Read this manual carefully before using the
multimeter and follow the instructions!
The multimeter may only be used by people who
are aware of the dangers of electric shock and are
able to take the necessary safety pürecautions.
• Whenever measurements are being made,
in which there is a danger of electric shock,
a second person should always be informed.
• Before using the meter, check the case and
test leads for any damage. In the event of any

1. Safety instructions
malfunction/operational defect or visible dam-
age, do not use the meter. Pay particular at-
tention to the insulation surrounding the
measurement sockets.
• Use with caution when working above 30 V
AC rms, or 60 V DC. Such voltages pose a
shock hazard.
The limit of the measurement range must
•
not be exceeded. If the values of the meas-
urand are unknown, always switch from a
higher measurement range to a lower one.
• Do not conduct measurements in a humid
environment. Work area, hands, shoes and
floor must be dry.
• When measuring current, turn off circuit
power before connecting the meter in the
circuit.
