1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European
Community Directives: 89/336/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
73/23/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by 93/68/EC (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category II 600V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I:
For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small
transient over voltage
CAT II:
For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III: Supplied from a cable under earth; fixed installed switches,
automatic cut-off or main plugs.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied over aerial line,
which are stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e. main-
switches on current input, over-voltage-diverter, current use
counter.
Warning! Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial
installation measurement. This instrument is intended for use in
installation over-voltage category II (600V AC/DC, 20A). To ensure
safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious
injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions
must be observed.

The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it is not
possible to exclude without doubts that impulses, transients,
disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are exceeded a
suitable prescale (10:1) must be used.
*
Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of
serious injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
*
Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating.
Never short-circuit fuse or fuse holding.
*
Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before
switching modes or functions.
*
Do not conduct voltage measurements with the test leads
connected to the mA/A- and COM-terminal of the equipment.
*
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test
and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance
measurements.
*
Do not conduct current measurements with the leads connected to
the V/Ω-terminals of the equipment.
*
Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires
before connection to the equipment.
*
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp
conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and
rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
*
Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
*
Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
