1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
CAUTION
For your own safety and to avoid damaging the instrument follow the procedures
described in this instruction manual and read carefully all notes marked with this symbol.
This instrument complies with safety Standards EN61557 and EN61010-1 related to electronic
measuring instruments. When taking measurements:
Avoid doing this in humid or wet places - make sure that humidity is within the limits indicated in
section “Environmental conditions”.
Avoid doing this in rooms where explosive gas, combustible gas, steam or excessive dust is
present.
Keep you insulated from and do not touch the object under test, any exposed metal part such as
test lead ends, sockets, fixing objects, circuits etc.
Avoid doing this if you notice anomalous conditions such as breakages, deformations, fractures,
blind display etc.
The following symbols are used in this instruction manual:
Warning of a potential danger, comply with instruction manual.
☞Reference, please pay utmost attention.
UUT Unit under test
Caution, dangerous voltage. Danger of electrical shock.
Symbol for marking of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE Directive).
Conformity symbol, the instrument complies with the valid directives. It complies with the
EMC Directive and the Low Voltage Directive.

1.1 PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
The instrument must be connected to a power socket with grounded PE terminal. If this
is not assured, the instrument will display PE DISCONNECTED, SWITCH OFF NOW
message and will perform no measurement.
The instruction manual contains information and references, necessary for safe operation and
maintenance of the instrument. Prior to using the instrument, the user is kindly requested to
thoroughly read the instruction manual and comply with it in all sections.
Failure to read the instruction manual or to comply with the warnings and references contained
herein can result in serious bodily injury or instrument damage.
In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and national regulations regarding excessive
contact voltages must receive utmost attention when working with voltages exceeding 60 V DC or
50 V (25 V) RMS AC. The value in brackets is valid for limited ranges (as for example medicine).
The operator is recommended to respect the usual safety regulations aimed at protecting against
dangerous currents and protecting the instrument against improper use.
This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
It can be used for tests on electrical installations of overvoltage category III, 300V maximum
voltage to earth.
Do not effect measurements on circuit exceeding the specified voltage limits.
Only the original test leads supplied along with the instrument guarantee compliance with the
safety standards in force. They must be in good conditions and, if necessary, replaced with
identical ones.
Do not take measurements under environmental conditions exceeding the limits indicated in this
manual.
Before connecting the test probes to the installation make sure that the right function is selected.
The instrument may only be used in dry and clean environments. Dirt and humidity reduce
insulation resistance and may lead to electrical shocks, in particular for high voltages.
Never use the instrument in precipitation such as dew or rain. In case of condensation due to
temperature jumps, the instrument may not be used.
Start any test series by earth bond resistance measurement.
At earth bond resistance, insulation resistance and dielectric measurements unit under test must
be voltage-free. If necessary check the unit is voltage-free i.e. by using a voltage tester.
When modifying the instrument, the operational safety is no longer ensured.
1.2. DURING USE
CAUTION
An improper use may damage the instrument and/or its components or injure the
operator.
Only skilled technicians, who know the possible risks involved to the dangerous voltages use are
allowed to operate the instrument.
The instrument may only be connected to mains voltage as indicated on the type shield.

FULLTEST 3
EN - 5
The instrument may only be used within the operating ranges as specified in the technical data
section.
Disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test before selecting any function.
Only touch test leads and test probes at handle surface provided. Never directly touch test probes.
Never touch any unused terminal when the instrument is connected to circuits.
Do not measure resistance in presence of external voltages; although the instrument is protected,
an excessive voltage may cause malfunctioning.
Do not open the instrument! Dangerous voltages inside!
Connecting one terminal to the test object and working with one probe or holding both probes in
one hand is prohibited.
Use safety probes with protection against contact or with two-hand operation only. Always hold
only one probe in one hand.
It is prohibited to touch the unit under test during the test. If need be, additional measures must be
taken (e.g. cover made of insulating mats) to protect the person performing the test against
inadvertent contact with the unit under test.
1.3. AFTER USE
Disconnect all test leads from the circuit under test and switch off the instrument.
1.4. OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORIES - DEFINITIONS
Standard EN61010-1 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and
laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements) defines what a measurement category (usually called as
Overvoltage Category) is. At paragraph 6.7.4: Measuring circuits it says:
(OMISSIS)
Circuits are divided into the following measurement categories:
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage
installation.
Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices
and ripple control units.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables,
bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for
industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent
connection to fixed installation.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the
low voltage installation.
Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to
MAINS.
Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected
(internal) MAINS-derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that
reason, the norm requires that the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made
known to the user.
