Fuse replacement
Always adhere carefully to the safety instructions, if you replace fuses!
Make sure that only fuses of the type stated and of the rated current specified are
used as a replacement. Do not use improper or repaired fuses and do not bypass the
fuse holder - this could lead to fire or arc discharge .
All measuring inputs are protected against overload. The input sockets "V" and "5A" are secured with a
fine fuse each. If measuring is no longer possible, you have to exchange the fuse.
Proceed as follows to change the fuse:
- Remove all measuring leads and turn the multimeter off.
- Remove the rubber holster from the casing.
- Loosen the screws on the back of the casing and carefully pull off the
cover.
- Replace the corresponding high-performance ceramic fuse with a
new one of the same type and current value (see illustration in the
chapter Inserting and replacing the batteries")
