UT118C User Manual 1. Overview UT118C is a 6000-Count True-RMS multimeter with high reliability and safety. It can be used in narrow and dark environments and concentrated circuits by virtue of its compact shape, flashlight and ultra-sharp probe tip. UT118C is designed with full-scale overload protection and unique appearance, making it a new-generation measurement meter with more practical performances.
UT118C User Manual 4. Safety Information Please note the “Warning Labels and Sentences”. A Warning identifies conditions or actions that pose hazard to the user, and that may damage the Meter or the equipment under test. The Meter complies with IEC/EN61010-1, 61010-2-033, 61010-031,Electromagnetic Radiation EN61326-1 Safety Standard, Basic Insulation, Overvoltage CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V, Pollution Degree 2, and Indoor Use.
