1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following
European Community Directives: 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2004/22/EC (CE-Marking). Overvoltage category III 1000V; over-
voltage category IV 600V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small
transient over voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient
over-voltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines,
which are stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e.
main-switches on current input, over-voltage-diverter,
current use counter.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the
danger of serious injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following
safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions
are exempt from any legal claims whatever.
* Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation
measurement. This instrument is intended for use in installation
over-voltage category III.
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger
of serious injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
-34-

* The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it
is not possible to exclude without that impulses, transients,
disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are exceeded
a suitable prescale (10:1) must be used.
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating.
Never short-circuit fuse or fuse holding.
* Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit
before switching modes or functions.
* Do not conduct voltage measurements with the test leads
connected to the mA/A- and COM-terminal of the equipment.
* The 10A-range is protected. To avoid damage or injury, use the
meter only in circuits limited by fuse or circuit breaker to 10A or
2000VA.
* To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test
and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance
measurements.
* Do not conduct current measurements with the leads connected
to the V/Ω-terminals of the equipment.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires
before connection to the equipment.
* To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or
damp conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing
and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
* Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the
equipment.
* Always start with the highest measuring range when measuring
unknown values.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme
temperatures, humidity or dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields
(motors, transformers etc.).
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before
taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).
* Do not input values over the maximum range of each
measurement to avoid damages of the meter.
-35-

* Do not turn the rotary function switch during voltage or current
measurement, otherwise the meter could be damaged.
* Use caution when working with voltages above 35 V DC or
25 V AC. These Voltages pose shock hazard.
* Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “BAT”
appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false
reading that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
* Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long
period.
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid
detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
* The meter is suitable for indoor use only
* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed
and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.
* Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable
substances.
* Do not modify the equipment in any way
* Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work
bench to prevent damaging the controls at the front.
* Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only
be performed by qualified service personnel
* Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands.

1.2. Safety Symbols
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or
operating device indicates that the operator must refer to
an explanation in the operating instructions to avoid
personal injury or damage to the meter.
This symbol advices the user that the terminals so
marked must not be connected to a circuit point at which
the voltage, with respect to earth ground, exceeds (in this
case) 1000 V AC or VDC
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies
them as being associated with ranges that may, in normal
use, be subjected to particulary hazardous voltages. For
maximum safety, thermometer and its test leads should
not be handled when these terminals are energized.
Indicates protection class II, double insulation
IP67 Dust- and waterproof
µA The maximum current that can measure with this
mA terminal is 400 mA AC/DC. This terminal is protected by
500 mA/1000 V fuse
A The maximum current that can measure with this terminal
is 10 A AC/DC. This terminal is protected by 10 A/1000 V
fuse.

CAUTION!
Note on using the supplied safety test leads according the
IEC / EN 61010-031:2008:
Measurements in the field of overvoltage category CAT I or CAT II
can be performed with test leads without sleeves with a maximum
of up to 18mm long, touchable metallic probe, whereas for
measurements in the field of overvoltage category CAT III or CAT
IV test leads with put on sleeves, printed with CAT III and CAT IV
must be used, and therefore the touchable and conductive part of
the probes have only max. 4mm of length.
CAUTION !
This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or
damage to the product or other property.
