electronic material, in compliance with Directive WEEE 2002/966/EC.
Equipment protected throughout by double or reinforced insulation.

Precautions for use

• Never use on a voltage network over 600V with respect to the earth
connection. This voltage surge category III multimeter complies with
stringent reliability and availability requirements, corresponding to fixed
industrial and domestic installations (see IEC 664-1).
• Do not use on alternative and continuous voltages > 600V.
•
Indoor use in environments with a maximum pollution level of 2 (cf. IEC
664-1) temperature of -10°C to +50°C and relative humidity below 90%.
• Respect the value and type of the fuses to avoid damaging the
instrument and cancelling the warranty.
• 1.6A HPC fuse (6.3 x 32mm) 600V - 50kA
• 10A HPC fuse (6.3 x 32mm)
•
Use accessories corresponding to safety standards (EN 61010 - 031)
with 600V minimum voltage and surge category III.
• Before any measurement, ensure correct positioning of the leads on the
multimeter and of the switch. When the value range of a measurement
is not known, place the switch at the highest calibre, then gradually
reduce it until the appropriate calibre is achieved: the reading should
preferably be in the upper 2/3 of the range.
• Never measure resistances on a live circuit.
• During current intensity measurements (without a clip-on ammeter),
stop circuit power supply before connecting or disconnecting the
multimeter or changing calibre.
• The leads must be disconnected to open the lower half of the MX1
casing.
• Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the casing is not properly
closed.
