Thank you for purchasing this MX2B multimeter.
To obtain the best service from your unit:
Read these operating instructions carefully,
•
Comply with the 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) 600V - 50kA
•
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 MX2B casing.
•
Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the casing is not properly closed.
