1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
Safety information
The product complies with:
• UL/IEC/EN 61010-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1, Pollution Degree 2,
Measurement CAT III 600 V MAX
• IEC/EN 61010-2-033
• IEC/EN 61010-2-032
• IEC/EN 61010-031 (test leads)
• EMC IEC/EN 61326-1
Measurement Category III (CAT III) is applicable to test and measure circuits connected to the
distribution part of the building's low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation
is expected to have a minimum of two levels of over-current protective devices between the
transformer and possible connecting points.
CENELEC Directives
The instrument conforms to CENELEC Low-voltage directive 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic
compatibility directive 2014/30/EU.
X� Warnings: Read Before Using
To avoid the possibility of electric shock or personal injury:
• Use the Product only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the
instrument may be compromised.
• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.
• Test on a known signal source within the rated voltage range of the Product both before
and after use to ensure the Product is in good working conditions.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
• Inspect the Product before use and do not use if it appears damaged. Check for cracks or
missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation around the connectors.
• Inspect the test leads before use. Do not use if insulation is damaged or metal is exposed.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly. Protection may be impaired. When in
doubt, have the Product serviced.
• Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Product.
• Have the Product serviced only by qualified service personnel.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with the
conductor could result in electric shock.
• Do not hold the Product beyond the tactile barrier.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage and CAT rating, as marked on the Product,
between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Remove test leads from the Product before opening the Product case or battery cover.
• Never operate the Product with the battery cover removed or the case open.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V AC RMS, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC.
These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Do not attempt to connect to any circuit carrying voltage that may exceed the maximum
range of the Product.
• Use the proper terminals, functions and ranges for your measurements.
• When using alligator clips, keep fingers behind the finger guards.
• Use only exact fuse replacement and specified replacement parts.
• When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the
live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the
common test lead.
