Function/Application
Current and voltage multimeter for taking measurements in
the range of overvoltage category CAT III up to max. 600V. The
meter can be used to measure DC and AC voltages and direct
and alternating currents, resistance and for continuity tests
within the speci ed ranges. Furthermore, the device features a
PEAK function, a MAX/MIN display, a hold function and a True
RMS measurement (Root-Mean-Square) function. The device is
also equipped with a torch and an illuminated display.
Safety instructions
• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended
purpose and within the scope of the speci cations.
• Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area
to be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories
used (e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test
the device by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a
230 V socket in the case of AC testing or a car battery in the
case of DC testing). Stop using the device if one or a number
of its functions fails.
• If you are working with voltages higher than 25 V AC/60 V DC,
exercise extreme caution. Touching the electrical conductors at
such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.
• Make sure that you always select the correct connections, the
correct rotary switch position and the correct range for the
measurement to be taken.
• Before measuring or checking the resistance, continuity, diodes
or capacitance, disconnect the power supply to the electric
circuit. Check that all high-voltage capacitors are discharged.
• Only the original measuring leads may be used. Their voltage,
category and ampere rated powers must match those of the
measuring device.
• If you have to take hold of the measuring spikes, do so by the
grip sections only. Do not touch the measuring contacts whilst
the measurement is being taken.
• Do not use the device in environments in which there are
con-ductive particles or where the occurrence of moisture (in
the form of condensation, for example) can create transient
conductivity.
