1. safety instructions for operating the appliance
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Union Directives for CE conformity:
2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility), 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
Overvoltage category II; pollution degree 2.
To ensure the operational safety of the unit and to avoid serious injuries due to current or voltage surges or
short circuits, it is essential to observe the following safety instructions when operating the unit.
Damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions is excluded from claims of any kind.
* This unit must not be used in high energy circuits.
* Before connecting the unit to a mains socket, check that the voltage setting on the unit corresponds to the
existing mains voltage
* Connect the appliance only to sockets with earthed protective conductor.
* Do not place the appliance on a damp or wet surface.
* Do not operate the unit near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers, etc.)
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input values under any circumstances (serious risk of injury
and/or destruction of the unit).
* The specified maximum input voltages must not be exceeded. If it cannot be excluded beyond doubt that
these voltage peaks are exceeded due to the influence of transient disturbances or for other reasons, the
measuring voltage must be pre-damped accordingly (10:1).
* Before switching to another measuring function, disconnect the test leads or probe from the measuring
circuit.
* Check the unit, test leads and other accessories for possible damage or bare or bent cables and wires
before commissioning. If in doubt, do not carry out any measurements.
* Only carry out measuring work in dry clothing and preferably in rubber shoes or on an insulating mat.
* Do not touch the measuring tips of the test leads.
* It is essential to observe the warnings on the unit.
* Unit must not be operated unattended
* Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or moisture.
* Avoid strong vibration.
* Keep hot soldering guns away from the immediate vicinity of the unit.
* Before starting measurement operation, the unit should be stabilised to the ambient temperature
(important when transporting from cold to warm rooms and vice versa).
* Do not exceed the set measuring range during any measurement. This will prevent damage to the device.
* Clean the cabinet regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use corrosive abrasive
cleaners.
* This unit is suitable for indoor use only.
* Avoid any proximity to explosive and flammable substances.
* Opening of the unit and maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by qualified service
technicians.
* Do not place the front of the unit on the workbench or work surface to avoid damage to the controls.
* Do not make any technical changes to the unit.
* -Measuring instruments do not belong in children's hands-
