CIMCO 11 1411 Notice D'emploi page 33

- Set the measuring device to the desired unit before each measurement. A false measurement may
destroy the product!
- The voltage between the connection points must not exceed the specified voltage.
- The test prods must be removed from the measured object before changing the measurement range.
- Be particularly careful when dealing with voltages >25 V/AC and >35 V/DC! At these voltages you may
receive a fatal electric shock when touching electrical conductors.
- Inspect the measuring device and the test leads for damage before each measurement. Never take
measurements when the insulation or the product is damaged.
- To prevent an electric shock, ensure that you do not touch the connections to be measured / measuring
points when measuring, either directly or indirectly.
- Do not touch the grip markings on the test prods and on the measuring device when measuring.
- Avoid using the device in the immediate vicinity of:
- Strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- Transmitting antennas or HF generators.
- When taking measurements, ensure that no objects are trapped by the current clamp sensor, such as
cables.
- Always ensure that the polarity is correct when connecting the test leads to the measuring device.
(red = positive terminal, black = negative terminal).
- Pay attention to the diagrams in each chapter for every measurement. A false measurement may
destroy the product!
- Before connecting the test leads, remove the dust protection caps on the connection sockets. Replace
the caps after each measurement to prevent the contacts from becoming dirty.
- Also pay attention to the safety information in the individual chapters.
