Precautions And Safety Measures; Preliminary Instructions - HT FLASHMETERPRO Manual De Instrucciones

1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES

The instrument has been designed in compliance with directive IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to
electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the
instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all
notes preceded by symbol
Before and after carrying out measurements, carefully observe the following instructions:
 Do not carry out any measurement in humid environments
 Do not carry out any measurements in case gas, explosive materials or flammables are
present, or in dusty environments
 Avoid any contact with the circuit being measured if no measurements are being
carried out.
 Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, with unused measuring probes, circuits, etc.
 Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the instrument such
as deformation, breaks, substance leaks, absence of display on the screen, etc.
 Pay special attention when measuring voltages higher than 20V, since a risk of
electrical shock exists
In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used:
Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could
damage the instrument or its components.
High voltage danger: electrical shock hazard.
The instrument performs current measurements on non-insulated voltage cables
corresponding to the measurement category indicated on the F100 clamp
Double-insulated meter
AC Voltage or Current
DC Voltage or Current
1.1.

PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS

 This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
 It can be used for VOLTAGE measurements on installations in CAT IV 600V and
CURRENT measurements on installations in CAT III 600V. For the definition of the
measurement categories see § 1.4
 We recommend following the normal safety rules devised to protect the user against
dangerous currents and the instrument against incorrect use.
 Only the leads supplied with the instrument guarantee compliance with the safety
standards. They must be in good conditions and replaced with identical models, when
necessary.
 Do not test circuits exceeding the specified voltage or current limits.
 Do not perform any test under environmental conditions exceeding the limits indicated
in § 7.3.1.
 Check that the battery is correctly inserted.
 Before connecting the test leads to the circuit to be tested, make sure that the rotary
switch is correctly set.
 Make sure that the LCD display and the rotary switch indicate the same function.
with the utmost attention.
