PARKSIDE PDM 300 C2
WARNING! Always hold the measuring probes by the handle area (see diagram). The area
with the warning sign must not be touched, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock while
measuring!
WARNING! Do not use the multimeter if it or the measuring probes (inc. cables) are damaged.
There is a risk of electric shock!
WARNING! Be especially careful when dealing with AC voltages over 30 V or DC voltages
over 60 V. There is a risk of electric shock!
WARNING! Never operate the multimeter with the housing open. There is a risk of electric
shock!
WARNING! Do not touch the contacts of the measuring probes or the connectors during the
measurement, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
WARNING! Do not use the multimeter in damp or wet environments. Also make sure that your
hands and shoes are dry, otherwise there is the risk of electric shock!
WARNING! Do not use the multimeter near explosive gases or vapours or in dusty
environments. There is risk of explosion!
WARNING! Make sure that no fire hazards (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the
multimeter. Fire hazard!
CAUTION! Never exceed the maximum input values quoted. Otherwise the multimeter could
get damaged.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the overvoltage category CAT III quoted. Otherwise the multimeter
could get damaged.
CAT III: Measurements within building installations (e.g. distribution boxes, cabling, sockets and
switches). This category also includes the following two categories:
CAT II: Measurements on electrical and electronic devices supplied with power via a mains plug.
CAT I: Measurements on electrical circuits with no direct connection to the mains (battery-
powered, car electrics, etc.).
CAUTION! Before changing the measurement range, disconnect the multimeter from the object
it is measuring, otherwise it could get damaged.
CAUTION! When using the measurement probes, connect the black measurement cable to the
COM connection first, then connect the red one. When disconnecting, remove the red
measurement probe first.
CAUTION! Never connect a voltage source to the measurement probes if it is set to continuity
testing, resistance measurement, diode test, function generator or current measurement.
Otherwise the multimeter could get damaged.
