1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community
Directives: 2004/108/EG (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EG (Low Voltage)
as amended by 2004/22/EG (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category II; pollution degree 2.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due
to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any
legal claims whatever.
* The instrument must be set up so that the power plug can be removed from the
socket easily.
* Prior to connection of the equipment to the mains outlet, check that the available
mains voltage corresponds to the voltage setting of the equipment.
* Connect the mains plug of the equipment only to a mains outlet with earth connection.
* Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
* Do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that the air is able to
circulate freely inside.
* Do not insert metal objects into the equipment by way of the ventilation slots.
* Do not place water filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case
of knock over of the container).
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or
destruction of the equipment).
* To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all
capacitors before taking any resistance measurements.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before connection to
the equipment.
* To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions.
Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating
mats.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
* The measurement instrument is not to be to operated unattended.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or
dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
