Safety Precautions - PeakTech 3443 Operation Manual

1. Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following
European Community Directives: 2014/30/EC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and 2014/35/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2014/32/EC (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category III 1000V; overvoltage category IV 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 overhead lines,
which are stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e.
main-switches on current input, overvoltage-diverter,
current use counter.
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.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions
are exempt from any legal claims whatever.

Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation
measurement.

Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.

Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of
serious injury and/or destruction of the equipment).

The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it
is not possible to exclude without that impulses, transients,
disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are exceeded a
suitable presale (10:1) must be used.
