only indirectly connected to the mains or not connected at all. It is not rated for
any measurement category.
The instrument is rated for pollution degree 2 - for indoor, dry location use where
only non-conductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by conden-
sation is possible.
The instrument must be controlled by personnel familiar with the potential risks of
measuring electrical quantities. Observe applicable local or national safety regula-
tions and rules for the prevention of accidents.
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about the
potential dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injury or dam-
age caused by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
