1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
The instrument has been designed in compliance with IEC/EN61010-1 guidelines relevant
to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the
instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all
notes preceded by symbol with the utmost attention. Before and after carrying out
measurements, carefully observe the following instructions:
•Do not carry out any measurement in humid environments.
•Do not carry out any measurements in case gas, explosive materials or flammables are
present, or in dusty environments.
•Avoid any contact with the circuit under test if no measurement is in progress.
•Avoid any contact with exposed metal parts, with unused measuring probes, circuits
•Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the instrument such
as deformation, breaks, substance leaks, absence of display on the screen, etc.
•Pay special attention when measuring voltages higher than 25V AC, since a risk of
electrical shock exists.
In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used:
Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could
damage the instrument or its components.

•The instrument can be used for AC CURRENT and AC VOLTAGE
measurements on installations with CAT II 240V to ground, max load
current as described in § 8
•Do not use the instrument on loads with absorbed currents over the
same described in § 8
•Do not use the instrument if the protection conditions on the circuit are
limited or protection devices are damaged.
•Do not use the instrument in circuits with voltages higher than the rated
ones
•Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the
instrument such as deformation, breaks, substance leaks, absence of
display on the screen, etc.
•Use only indoor

•Use with loads with maximum absorbed current described in § 8
3. PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1. INITIAL CHECKS
Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical
point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument is delivered
undamaged. However, we recommend thoroughly checking the instrument in order to
detect possible damage suffered during transport. In case anomalies are found,
immediately contact the forwarding agent. We also recommend to check whether the
packaging contains all components indicated in § 8.1.1. In case of discrepancy, please
contact the Dealer. In case the instrument should be returned, please follow the
instructions given in § 9.
3.2. INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY
The instrument is supplied directly by the main 230V with the integrated plug.
3.3. STORAGE
In order to guarantee precise measurement, after a long storage time, wait for the
instrument to come back to normal condition (see § 8).
CAUTION
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided may be impaired
