SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never use on networks at a voltage above 1000 V in relation to the
earth. This multimeter of overvoltage category III, satisfies the
severe requirements of reliability and availability corresponding to
industrial and domestic permanent installations (c.f. IEC 664-1).
Use indoors in environments of degree of pollution at most equal
to 2 (c.f. IEC 664-1), of temperature from 0 to +55°C and of relative
humidity from 20 to 90%.
Respect the value and the type of fuses or there is a risk of damage
to the instrument and cancellation of the warranty.
- Fuse 1 A HBC (6.3 x 32 mm - 500 V - 10 kA)
- Fuse 10 A HBC (6.3 x 32 mm - 500 V - 10 kA)
Use accessories in conformity with safety standards (NF EN 61010-
2-031) of minimum voltage 1000 V and overvoltage category III.
Before any measurement, check the leads and the switch are in
the correct position. When the order of magnitude of a measurement
is not known, place the selector switch on the highest range then
lower progressively, if necessary, to the appropriate range.
Never measure resistances on a live circuit.
For current measurements (without current clamp), switch off the
power supply of the circuit before connecting or disconnecting
your multimeter.
To open the battery compartment, the leads must be disconnected.
Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the battery
compartment is not correctly closed.
