Safety Notes - Westfalia 40 68 43 Instruction Manual

Please note the following safety notes to avoid
malfunctions, damage or physical injury:
Before taking any measurements always check the device,
the measuring cables and any other accessories for possible
damage. In the event of any damage do not attempt to take
measurements. Replace defective parts.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input voltage (see
technical data).
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input values for any
measurement function.
Before changing the measuring range with the rotary function
switch (4) always remove the probes from the device from
which measurements are being taken.
When carrying out measurements of over 60 V DC or 25 V
AC, always follow the relevant safety regulations. Disconnect
the circuit from the power supply before connecting the probe
tips.
Do not connect any power source to the "10 A"- and the "mA,
µA"-inputs (except of battery voltage test 1.5 V). If this advice
is not strictly followed, the device may be damaged and inju-
ries may occur.
Do not touch bare wires or live areas of the device during
measurements.
Do not connect the measuring probes to a power source while
the unit is set to continuity test, resistance measurement,
diode test, or current measurement.
Do not reach over the safety ring when handling the probes.
This way, it is not possible to contact the metal tips of the
probes when taking measurements (danger of an electric
shock!).
Only use original accessories.
Keep the device out of the range of children.
