  • Page 4: Safety Features And Safety Precautions

    • Case and test leads must be in good condition, e.g. no cracks or broken spots. • The METRAmax 2 must not be used for measurements on circuits with corona discharge (high voltage!). • Be particularly careful when measuring on HF circuits.

  • Page 5: Description

    Description On the METRAmax 2, the measuring ranges are selected with a sliding function switch and a rotary range selector switch. The scale is mirror-backed. The rugged plastic case and the spring-loaded jewel bearings of the stray-field-insensitive moving-coil movement with core magnet protect the meter against damages in the case of severe mechan- ical stress.
