Safety notes

The instrument is built and tested in accordance with
DIN VDE 0411 part 1/ EN 61010-1
DIN VDE 0411 Part 2-032/EN 61010-2-032
DIN VDE 0411 Part 2-033/EN 61010-2-033
DIN VDE 0411 Part 031/EN 61010-031
and has left the factory in perfectly safe technical condition.
To maintain this condition and ensure safe operation of the multimeter, the user
must observe the notes and warnings given in these instructions at all times.
Improper handling and non-observance of the warnings might involve severe
injuries or danger to life.
WARNING! Be extremely careful when working with bare con­

ductors or main line carrier! Contact with live conductors will
cause an electric shock!
The unit may be used only in power circuits within the over­
voltage category II with a conductor for 600 V max. to earth,
or within overvoltage category III with a conductor for 300 V

against ground.
Remember that work on electrical components of all kinds is
dangerous. Even low voltages of 30 V AC and 60 V DC may be
dangerous to human life.

Before starting the multimeter up, always check it as well as all
cables and wires for signs of damage.
Should it appear that safe operation of the multimeter is no longer possible, it
should be shut down immediately and secured to prevent it being switched on
accidentally.
It may be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible:
- if the instrument or the measuring leads show visible signs of damage, or
- if the multimeter no longer functions, or
- after long periods of storage under unfavourable conditions, or
- after being subjected to rough transport.
In order to avoid danger,

­ do not touch the bare prod tips of the measuring leads,
­ insert the measurement leads in the appropriately desig­
nated measuring sockets on the multimeter

- Measurement of alternating voltage (AC) and direct voltage (DC).
These functions alternate with one-another when the function button
with the blue marking is pressed. When pressed longer (2 sec.) meas-
urement of alternating current, etc. The digital display 3 indicates the
function currently in effect.
- Resistance measurement, continuity test with buzzer and diode
test. These functions alternate with one-another when the function
button with the blue marking is pressed. The digital display 3 indicates
