The multimeters can be configured for line voltage of 110/220 V ± 10 % AC at line frequency of 50/60
Hz ± 5%.
Power line fuse is used for instrument protection. (220 V/500 mA or 110 V/1 A)
Note: Please use the same-type of fuse as it is in the fuse holder. To verify and replace the
fuse, remove the power cable and pull out the fuse holder. See section 1.2 for
details.
