1. Safety and operational considerations

1.1 Warnings and notes

In order to maintain the highest level of safety while working with the instrument, MGL EUMAN
strongly recommends keeping your Multicheck6010 in good condition and undamaged.
When using the instrument, consider the following general warnings:
• The symbol means »Mark on your equipment certifies that it meets requirements of all
subjected EU regulations.»
• The symbol means »This equipment should be recycled as electronic waste.»
• The symbol on the instrument means »Read the Instruction manual with special care for
safe operation«. The symbol requires an action!»
• The symbol means »Danger: risk of high voltage!»
• The symbol means »Class II: Double Insulated«. No need for safety connection to Earth.»
• If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this user manual, the protection
provided by the equipment could be impaired!
• Read this user manual carefully, otherwise the use of the instrument may be dangerous for the
operator, the instrument or for the equipment under test!
• Stop using the instrument or any of the accessories if any damage is noticed!
• If a fuse blows in the instrument, follow the instructions in this manual in order to replace it!
• Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric shock while dealing with
hazardous voltages!
• Do not use the instrument in supply systems with voltages higher than 550 V!
• Service intervention or adjustment is only allowed to be carried out by competent authorized
personnel!
• Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
• The instrument comes supplied with rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells. The cells should only be
replaced with the same type as defined on the battery compartment label or as described in this

• Hazardous voltages exist inside the instrument. Disconnect all test leads, remove the power
supply cable and switch off the instrument before removing battery compartment cover.
• All normal safety precautions must be taken in order to avoid risk of electric shock while working
on electrical installations!
Warnings related to measurement functions

Insulation resistance

• Insulation resistance measurement should only be performed on de-energized objects!
• When measuring the insulation resistance between installation conductors, all loads must be
disconnected and all switches closed!
• Do not touch the test object during the measurement or before it is fully discharged! Risk of
electric shock!
• Do not connect test terminals to external voltage higher than 550 V (AC or DC) in order not to
damage the test instrument!
Continuity functions
• Continuity measurements should only be performed on de-energized objects!
• Parallel impedances or transient currents may influence test results.
