Unpacking

Please check for completeness of parts while unpacking. Also
check for any mechanical damage or loose parts. In case of
transport damage inform the supplier immediately and do not
operate the instrument.
Check setting of line voltage selector whether it corresponds
to the actual line voltage.

Use of tilt handle

To view the screen from the best angle, there are three diffe-
rent positions (C, D, E) for setting up the instrument. If the
instrument is set down on the floor after being carried, the
handle automatically remains in the upright carrying position
(A). In order to place the instrument onto a horizontal surface,
the handle should be turned to the upper side of the instrument
(C). For the D position (10° inclination), the handle should be
turned to the opposite direction of the carrying position until
it locks in place automatically underneath the instrument. For
the E position (20° inclination), the handle should be pulled to
release it from the D position and swing backwards until it
locks once more. The handle may also be set to a position for
horizontal carrying by turning it to the upper side to lock in
the B position. At the same time, the instrument must be lifted,
because otherwise the handle will jump back.

Transport

Please keep the carton in case the instrument may require
later shipment for repair. Improper packaging may void the
warranty!

with VDE 0411, part 1, „Safety Rules for Electric Measuring
and Control Laboratory Instruments", it left the factory in pro-
per safe condition. It conforms hence also with the European
standard EN 61010-1 resp. the international standard IEC
61010-1. In order to keep this condition up and to guarantee
safe operation the user is requested to observe the warning

instrument conforms to the rules for Protective Class I. All
metal parts which can be touched were tested against the
mains with 2200 V DC.
Safety rules require that this instrument may only be operated
from a mains outlet which conforms to the respective safety
standards. The mains plug must be inserted first before any
signals may be connected to the instrument.
In case there are doubts about the conformity of a mains outlet
the outlet must be tested according to DIN VDE 0100, part 610.
