Transport and Storage
• Please keep the original packaging for later transport, e.g. for calibration. Any
transport damage due to faulty packaging will be excluded from warranty claims.
• In order to avoid instrument damage, it is advised to remove batteries when not using
the instrument over a certain time period. However, should the instrument be
contaminated by leaking battery cells, you are kindly requested to return it to the
factory for cleaning and inspection.
• Instruments must be stored in dry and closed areas. In the case of an instrument
being transported in extreme temperatures, a recovery time of minimum 2 hours is
required prior to instrument operation.
Safety
• The multimeter has been manufactured and tested to comply with the safety
regulations for electronic measuring equipment contained in IEC61010 and EN
61010, and left the factory in a safe condition. To maintain this condition, the user
must observe the safety instructions contained in this users manual.
• To avoid electric shock, safety measures must be observed when working with
voltages higher than 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) RMS AC. These are the
values of threshold contact voltages given by DIN VDE.
• Before each measurement make sure that the test leads and the instrument are
undamaged.
• Only handle test leads and probes on the grips provided. Avoid touching probes under
any circumstances.
• Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to be
executed when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never alone.
• The relevant safety regulations for electrical plant and equipment must be
observed during all operations.
• The instrument must only be used in the specified ranges.
• Before opening the instrument, it must be disconnected from all circuits.
• Protect the instrument from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
