Subject to change without notice
perature may be –0 °C ... +70 °C. The maximum
relative humidity is up to 80%.
If condensed water exists in a probe it should be
acclimatized before switching on. In some cases
(e.g. probe extremely cold) two hours should be
allowed before the probe is put into operation.

Warranty and Repair
HAMEG instruments are subjected to a strict qua-
lity control. Prior to leaving the factory, each ins-
trument is burnt-in for 10 hours. By intermittent
operation during this period almost all defects are
detected. Following the burn-in, each instrument
is tested for function and quality, the specications
are checked in all operating modes; the test gear
is calibrated to national standards.
The warranty standards applicable are those of
the country in which the instrument was sold.
Reclamations should be directed to the dealer.
Only valid in EU countries
In order to speed reclamations customers in EU
countries may also contact HAMEG directly. Also,
after the warranty expired, the HAMEG service will
be at your disposal for any repairs.
Return material authorization (RMA):
Prior to returning an instrument to HAMEG ask
for a RMA number either by internet (http://www.
hameg.com) or fax. If you do not have an original
shipping carton, you may obtain one by calling
the HAMEG service dept (++9 618 800 500) or by
sending an email to [e-mail].
Important hints
Users are advised to read through these instruc-
tions so that all functions are understood. Imme-
diately after unpacking, the instrument should
be checked for mechanical damage and loose
parts in the interior. If there is transport damage,
the supplier must be informed immediately. The
probes must then not be put into operation
Safety
The probes have been designed and tested in
accordance with IEC Publication 1010-1, Safe
-
ty requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use. The
CENELEC regulations EN 61010-1 correspond
to this standard. They have left the factory in a
safe condition. This instruction manual contains
important information and warnings which have
to be followed by the user to ensure safe operation
and to retain the probes in a safe condition.
Whenever it is likely that protection has been im-
paired, the instrument shall be made inoperative
and be secured against any unintended operation.
The protection is likely to be impaired if, for exa-
mple, the instrument
– shows visible damage,
– fails to perform the intended measure
-
ments,
– has been subjected to prolonged storage under
unfavourable conditions (e.g. in the open or in
moist environments),
– has been subject to severe transport stress
(e.g. in poor packaging).
Basically, it is not permissible to perform
measurements on parts that are live above 30V.
Since a signicant part of the measurements are
performed on exposed parts, it is a prerequi-
site that the user is familiar with any potential
electrical hazard. Under no circumstances may
the probes be used on equipment that is not sa-
fety grounded. When in doubt, a safety isolation
transformer must be used.
Operating conditions
The probes have been designed for indoor use.
The permissible operating temperature is +5 °C
... +0 °C. During transport and storage the tem
