1.1.

PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS

This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
It can be used for VOLTAGE and CURRENT measurements on installations with CAT
IV 600V and CAT III 1000V
We recommend following the normal safety rules devised by the procedures for
carrying out operations on live systems and using the prescribed PPE to protect the
user against dangerous currents and the instrument against incorrect use.
In case the lack of indication of the presence of voltage may represent a danger for the
operator, always carry out a continuity measurement before carrying out the
measurement on the live system, in order to confirm the correct connection and
condition of the leads.
Only the leads supplied with the instrument guarantee compliance with the safety
standards. They must be in good conditions and be replaced with identical models,
when necessary.
Do not test circuits exceeding the specified voltage limits.
Do not perform any test under environmental conditions exceeding the limits indicated
in § 0
Check that the battery is correctly inserted.
Make sure that the LCD display and the rotary switch indicate the same function.
1.2.

DURING USE

Please carefully read the following recommendations and instructions:
Failure to comply with the caution notes and/or instructions may damage
the instrument and/or its components or be a source of danger for the
operator.
Before activating the rotary switch, disconnect the test leads from the circuit being
measured.
When the instrument is connected to the circuit being measured, do not touch any
unused terminal.
Do not measure resistance in case external voltages are present; even if the
instrument is protected, an excessive voltage may cause malfunction.
While measuring, if the value or the sign of the quantity being measured remain
unchanged, check if the HOLD function is enabled.
1.3.

AFTER USE

When measurement is complete, set the rotary switch to OFF to switch off the
instrument.
If the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the battery.
