strictly met at all times.
The respective accident prevention regulations established by the
professional associations are to be strictly enforced at all times regarding
body protection in the event of danger of burns.
In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations
regarding excessive contact voltages must receive utmost attention,
when working with voltages exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms
AC. The values in brackets are valid for limited ranges (as for example
medicine and agriculture).
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical systems are only to
be carried out in compliance with the instructions of a responsible elec-
tronics technician, and never alone.
If the operator's safety is no longer ensured, the instrument is to be put
out of service and protected against use. The safety is no longer insured,
if the instrument:
• shows obvious damage
• does not carry out the desired measurements
• has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions
• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
The instrument may only be used within the operating ranges as speci-
fied in the technical data section.
Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure per-
fect functioning and long instrument life.
