Safety Measures
In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety
and VDE regulations regarding excessive contact
voltages must receive utmost attention, when
working with voltages exceeding 75V (60V) DC or
50V (25V)rms AC. The values in brackets are valid
for limited ranges (for example medicine and agri-
culture).
Prior to measurement ensure that the test leads
and the test instrument are in perfect condition.
When using this instrument only the handles of the
probes may be touched – do not touch the probe
tips.
This instrument may only be used within the
ranges specified (see 6.0 Technical Data) and with-
in voltage systems up to 690V
Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument function
(e.g. on known voltage source).
The voltage testers may no longer be used if one
or several functions fail or if no functionality is in-
dicated.
Do not use this instrument under damp
conditions.
Perfect display is only guaranteed within a tem-
perature range of -10°C up to + 55°C, at relative hu-
midity <85%.
If the operator's safety cannot be guaranted, the in-
strument must be removed from service and pro-
tected against use.
The safety can no longer be insured if the instrument:
• shows obvious damage • does not carry out the de-
sired measurements • has been stored for too long
under unfavourable conditions • has been subjected to
mechanical stress during transport.
All relevant statutory safety regulations must be adhered
to when using this instrument.
Appropriate Usage
The instrument may only be used under those condi-
tions and for those purposes for which it was built. For
this reason, in particular the safety references , the tech-
nical data including environmental conditions and the
usage in dry environments must be followed.
When modifying or changing the instrument, the
operational safety is no longer ensured.
The instrument may only be opened by an autho-
rised service technician, e.g. for fuse replacement.
