5. Safety information
These instructions contain important information on how to use the multimeter correctly. Please
read them carefully before using the multimeter for the first time.
Damage caused due to failure to observe these instructions will void the warranty. We shall not be
liable for any consequential damage.
We shall not be liable for damage to property or personal injury caused by incorrect handling or
failure to observe the safety information! Such cases will void the warranty/guarantee.
• This device was shipped in a safe condition.
• We kindly request the user to observe the safety instructions and warnings contained in the enclosed
operating instructions so this condition is maintained and to ensure safe operation.
• Check that the measuring device is functioning correctly with a known source before using it.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device is not permitted for safety and approval
reasons.
• Check that the measuring device is functioning correctly with a known source before using it.
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the device.
• Measuring instruments and their accessories are not toys and must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Always comply with the accident prevention regulations for electrical equipment when using the product
in commercial facilities.
• In schools, educational facilities, hobby and DIY workshops, the multimeter must be used under the
responsible supervision of qualified personnel. The same applies when the multimeter is used by people
with reduced physical and mental capabilities.
• Before each measurement, always make sure that the meter is not set to a different measurement func-
tion.
• When using measuring probes without protective caps, measure-
ments between the multimeter and the earth potential must not ex-
ceed the CAT II measurement category.
• When taking CAT III measurements, the cover caps must be placed
on the probe tips (max. length of exposed contacts = 4 mm) to avoid
accidental short circuits. These are supplied with the device.
• The measuring probes must be removed from the measured object
every time the measuring range is changed.
• The voltage between the multimeter connection points and earth must never exceed 600 V DC/AC in
CAT III.
• Exercise particular caution when working with voltages higher than 33 V (AC) and 70 V (DC). Touching
electrical conductors with these voltages may cause a fatal electric shock.
• To prevent an electric shock, do not touch the connections/measuring points when taking measurements,
either directly or indirectly. When taking measurements, do not touch any area beyond the grip markings
on the test probes / test leads.
