1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European
Community Directives: 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by 2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
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.
* Caution! Do not switch-on the unit if the case is dented.
* Prior to connection of the equipment to the main outlet, check that the
available mains voltage corresponds to the voltage setting of the
equipment.
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious
injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-
circuit fuse or fuse holding.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before
connection to the equipment.
* Use caution when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC. These
Voltages pose shock hazard.
* 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.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures,
humidity or dampness.
* 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 the container)
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors,
transformers etc.).
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up
measurement (important for exact measurements).
