1.2 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
To ensure operator safety while using the STER PMU instruments and to minimize the risk of damage to the
instrument, please note the following general warnings:
The instrument is designed to ensure maximum operator safety. Usage in a way other than specified in
this manual may increase the risk of harm to the operator!
Do not use the instrument and/or any accessories if there is any damage visible!
The instrument contains no user serviceable parts. Only an authorized dealer can carry out service or
adjustment!
All normal safety precautions have to be taken in order to avoid risk of electric shock when working on
electrical installations!
Only use approved accessories available from your distributor!
Instrument contains rechargeable NiMh batteries. The batteries should only be replaced with the same
type as defined on the battery placement label or in this manual. Do not use standard batteries while
power supply adapter/charger is connected, otherwise they may explode!

metal part of handle. In such environment it is advisable not to touch the battery cover during or
immediately after the charging.
Maximum voltage between any phase and neutral input is 1000 V
RMS
. Maximum voltage between phases
is 1730 V
RMS
.
Always short unused voltage inputs (L1, L2, L3, GND) with the neutral (N) input to prevent measurement
errors and false event triggering due to noise coupling.
