PRECAUTIONS
AND SAFETY MEASURES
The instrument has been designed in compliance with directives IEC/EN61557-
1 and IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to electronic measuring instruments. For your
safety and to prevent damaging the instrument, please carefully read all notes
preceded by symbol :
CAUTION
• Do not carry out any voltage or current 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 any 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.
• The instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
• Only the accessories provided with the instrument (especially power supply
A0061) can guarantee safety standards. They must be in good conditions and
be replaced with identical models, when necessary.
• Do not test circuits exceeding the specified current and voltage limits.
• Before connecting the measuring cables, the alligator clips and the clamps to
the circuit being measured, check that the desired function has been selected
• Pay special attention when measuring voltages higher than 25V in special
environments (such as construction sites, swimming pools, etc.) and 50V in
normal environments, since a risk of electrical shock exists
• The instrument can be used for measurements on installations with
overvoltage category CAT IV 300V to earth and max 600V between inputs
• It is forbidden to open the instrument, except to qualified technicians. Except
for battery replacement, which must be carried out as described in § 4.2, no
other maintenance, replacement or repair of the instrument's internal parts is
provided for.
The following symbols are used by the instrument:
WARNING: it is necessary to consult the instruction manual in order to identify
the nature of the potential danger and the actions to be taken. Observe the
instructions given in this manual. Improper use could damage the instrument
and create dangerous situations for the operator.
High voltage danger: electrical shock hazard.
Double insulation
AC voltage or current
DC voltage or current
Connection to earth
The symbol indicates that the appliance and its accessories must be collected
separately and correctly disposed of.
