Safety guidelines

1. Prior to initiation of device’s usage it is recommended to get thoroughly acquaint-ed with operating manual and terms of safe use. This will allow avoiding an electric shock, health damages or loss of life, as well as it may prevent damages to the device.
2. Prior to commencing measurements it is recommended to check for damages on device’s casing or measuring cables. In case any cable or device damages are de-tected device should not be used, as it may pose an electric shock threat.
3. The device should not be used when insulation wrapping the probes and cables is damaged.
4. Only gauging cables delivered with the set may be used for measurements. In case gauging cables are damaged they should be replaced with cables of exact technical parameters.
5. The device can be used only for measurements compliant with the manual and its technical specification. Otherwise, device’s safety provisions may not be sufficient for safe usage.
6. During measurements all metal ends and gauging slots should not be touched. Fin-gers should be kept above insulation sheaths.
7. It is not allowed to make measurements with wet hands or in places with excessive air humidity.
8. It is not recommended to exceed upper limits of electric values given for each gauging range. When the scale of measured electric value is not known selection of the highest range is recommended for gauging.
9. It is not recommended to place any electronic elements into gauging slots during voltage measurements with gauging probes.
10. Prior to transistor test you should make sure that gauging probes have been dis-connected from another gauged circuit.
11. Prior to measurement of resistance, circuit continuity and capacitor’s capacity the capacitances should be discharged and all power supply sources disconnected.
12. Particular caution should be taken by measurements, which exceed DC 60 V or AC 30 V rms.
13. Prior to commencement of measurement the function range switch should be set in an adequate position. Shifting switch during the measurement may cause damage to the device.
14. Gauging probes should be removed from gauging slots prior to every change of measured parameters.
15. The device should not be used, or kept, in high air humidity or temperature condi-tions, in strong electromagnetic field or in an explosive or flammable environment. Such conditions may influence gauging results and create an electric shock haz-ard.
16. The device should not be used when the display indicates exhausted battery. Low battery level may lead to faulty gauging indications.
17. Make sure that the device is switched off before batteries are replaced.
18. In case device is not used for a longer period of time the battery should be removed in order to avoid spilling of electrolyte.
19. Device should be used and stored in a place inaccessible for children.
20. Device is designed to be used indoors, in room temperature.
21. Device should not be used directly after it is relocated from a room with high air humidity, excessively low or high temperature conditions.

Safety category

CAT I — gauging category CAT I defines safety requirements for measurements in devices which are not connected directly to a low voltage network, such as batteries, accumulators, flashlights.
CAT II — gauging category CAT II defines safety requirements for measurements carried out in devices directly connected to a low voltage network, such as home appliances, office equipment or workshop equipment.
Multimeter should not be used for measurements of devices defined by CAT III and CAT IV.

Description
