Safety To avoid electric shock or fire, as well as provide the conditions for correct operation and accuracy of obtained results, you must observe the following guidelines: • Before you proceed to operate the device, acquaint yourself thoroughly with this manual and observe the safety regulations and specifications defined by the producer.
ries may cause damage to measuring terminals, introduce additional measurement errors and create a risk for the user. Due to continuous development of the meter’s software, the actual appearance of the display for some features may slightly differ from that presented in this user manual. The latest version of the manual is provided on the manufacturer's website.
Compliance with standards The tester meets the requirements of the following standards: • IEC 61557-1 – Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures – Part 1: General requirements.

Fuse replacement The device is protected by one fast-acting fuse 6.3 x 32 mm 500 mA / 1000 V AC/DC. To replace the fuse, unscrew the socket head, place a working fuse in place of the damaged fuse, and then screw on the socket head.
Power supply NOTE! Before operating the meter, discharge the battery and then fully charge it, so that the indication of its charged status is correct. The charge level of the rechargeable battery is indicated by the symbol in the right upper corner of the display on a permanent basis.
Battery power The meter is powered by a Li-Ion battery. The whole device is powered via the power cord. NOTE! Do not power the meter from sources other than those listed in this manual. Charging rechargeable battery Charging starts once the power supply has been connected to the meter, regardless of whether the meter is on or off.
General rules for using Li-Ion rechargeable batteries • Store the meter with batteries charged at least to 50%. The battery pack may be damaged if stored when fully discharged. The ambient temperature for prolonged storage should be main- tained within the range of 5°C…25°C. The environment should be dry and well ventilated. Protect the device from direct sunlight.
Cleaning and maintenance NOTE! Use only the maintenance methods specified by the manufacturer in this manual. The casing of the meter may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which might damage the casing (powders, pastes, etc.). Clean the probe with water and dry it.
