Precautions for use

Multimeter MX1
Thank you for purchasing this MX1 multimeter.
To obtain the best service from your unit:
Read these operating instructions carefully,
-
Comply with the precautions for use.
-
CAUTION! Please consult the operating instructions before using the
device. In these operating instructions, failure to follow or carry out
instructions preceded by this symbol may result in personal injury or
damage to the device and the installations.
The rubbish bin with a line through it means that in the European Union, the
product must undergo selective disposal for the recycling of electric and
electronic material, in compliance with Directive WEEE 2002/966/EC.
Equipment protected throughout by double or reinforced insulation.
•
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 h umidity 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.
