Preparation For Operation; Using The Stand - PeakTech 3335 Mode D'emploi

5. Preparation for Operation

5.1. Using the test leads
CAUTION!
Note on using the supplied safety test leads according the IEC / EN
61010-031:2008:
Measurements in the field of overvoltage category CAT I or CAT II can be
performed with test leads without sleeves with a maximum of up to 18mm
long, touchable metallic probe, whereas for measurements in the field of
overvoltage category CAT III or CAT IV test leads with put on sleeves,
printed with CAT III and CAT IV must be used, and therefore the touchable
and conductive part of the probes have only max. 4mm of length.
Use only the identical type of test leads supplied with your meter. These
test leads are rated for 1200 V.
Cautions!
* Although the replacement probes are rated for 1200 V, the maximum
rating of your meter is 600 V DC/AC. If you try to measure DC
voltages above 600 V or AC voltages 600 V
your meter and expose yourself to a serious shock hazard. Use
extreme care when you measure high voltages.
* Never connect the probe you plug into the COM terminal to a source
of voltage greater than 600 V DC/AC
This creates a serious shock hazard.

5.2. Using the stand

Use your meter's stand to prop up the meter. If you prop your meter on a
bench-top, the stand helps provide a better viewing angle.
To use the stand as a prop, just open it away from the meter and set it on
a flat surface.
