1.4 FOR WORKING SAFELY
This symbol applies to the whole of this section.
Take particular care with voltages in excess of 30V AC RMS and 50V
DC.
Never work above the indicated maximum voltage ranges, particularly
with regards to the Earth.
When measuring the intensity, always check that the value for the
current to be measured is within the measurement range of the
instrument. For instruments fitted with fuses, check the fuses' condition
before taking any measurements. Only replace worn-out fuses with the
fuses recommended in the product's instruction manual.
Never use the instrument in a damp or dusty environment.
Never use the instrument without wearing electrician's gloves and the
other safety equipment recommended by the legislation.
Never touch any metal part of the contact points with your finger.
Check the mechanical and electrical condition of the test leads and the
contact points before taking any measurements. Any test leads or
contact points that are damaged must be replaced immediately. Never
use the instrument if it is damaged.
Never work with the instrument's rear casing open.
Never change the batteries while the power cables are connected.
Do not use the instrument in, or expose it to, direct sunlight, high
temperatures or high levels of humidity.
Do not remove the casing; only the battery compartment cover may be
opened.
Never alter the internal electronic circuits.
1.5 OTHER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
For instruments of installation categories I and II, never work on
equipment that could generate voltage spikes (motors, etc.).
When measuring in the manual range, always start with the
maximum range and then select the most appropriate range.
First of all connect the black contact point and then the red one.
Disconnect the test leads before changing function.
First of all disconnect the red contact point and then the black one.
Use and install batteries that comply with the instructions in the
user's manual for the product you have purchased.
Check that there is no voltage present before using the
functions.
To measure voltage, to measure current:
Please read the safety recommendations before use.
To measure resistance, diode test, Continuity test, to measure
frequency / cycle ratio, to replace batteries and fuse.
To measure capacity there must be no voltage in the circuit and the
capacitor to be measured must be discharged.
The instrument is guaranteed against any material or manufacturing fault
in accordance with the General Sales Conditions. During the guarantee
period, the instrument may only be repaired by the manufacturer, who
reserves the right either to proceed to repair the product or replace it in
whole or in part. If any equipment is returned to the manufacturer, the
customer is responsible for paying the outward transport costs. The
guarantee does not apply in the case of:
