2 Safety

2.1 General safety notice

– The device may only be used by trained per-
sons.
– The device may only be operated if it is in
perfect condition.
– If the safety of the operator is no longer guar-
anteed, the device must be put out of opera-
tion and secured against unintentional use.
Safety is no longer guaranteed in the follow-
ing cases:
– Obvious damage
– Stored for too long or incorrectly
– Leaking batteries
– Modification or reconstruction
– The device must not be used in potentially
explosive atmosphere.
– The device must not be used in the rain or
precipitation.
– The device may only be used in the indicated
measurement ranges, only in low-voltage sys-
tems of up to 690 V (VT Digi Pro to 1000 V)
and only in the indicated overvoltage cate-
gory.
– Precautions must be taken to prevent electric
shock if working with voltages that are higher
than extra-low voltage (ELV), i.e. voltages
higher than 120 V DC or 50 V eff AC. For lim-
ited areas, for example agricultural ranges,
60 V DC and 25 V AC apply as limit values.
– A faultless display is only guaranteed in the
temperature range from -15°C to +55°C with
relative humidity below 85%.
