Please note that detailed operating instructions are available for download in PDF format at www.gossenmetrawatt.com.

The short-form instructions provided are not a substitute for the detailed instructions. In terms of safety, it is important to follow the safety instructions provided in the user manual. The maximum rated voltage for the device is 1000 V, and it falls under Measuring Category CAT III. The maximum rated current is 1 A with the safety cap applied and 16 A without the safety cap applied. It is crucial to observe the maximum values of the electrical safety of the device.

When using the METRAHITT-COM PLUS Cable Multimeter, please keep in mind the following usage instructions:

  1. Read and thoroughly understand the detailed operating instructions before using the device. The short-form instructions provided are not comprehensive enough.
  2. Always use original fuses for the current measuring ranges. The input of the current measuring ranges is fitted with a fuse. Refer to the label on the housing or technical data section for the correct fuse type.
  3. Make sure to insert batteries into the instrument before operating it. Without batteries, dangerous currents or voltages will not be indicated, and the instrument may be damaged.
  4. Do not operate the device with the fuse or battery compartment cover removed.

Following these instructions will help ensure the proper and safe usage of the METRAHITT-COM PLUS Cable Multimeter.

Safety Instructions

In order to maintain the flawless condition of the instrument, and to ensure its safe operation, it is imperative that you read the operating instructions thoroughly and carefully before placing your instrument into service, and that you follow all instructions contained therein

Observe the following safety precautions:

  • The multimeter may not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • The multimeter may only be operated by persons who are able to recognize contact hazards and take the appropriate safety precautions. Contact hazards exist wherever voltages of more than 33 V (RMS value) and/or 70 V DC occur.
  • The maximum voltage allowable according to standard between the voltage inputs or all inputs towards earth respectively is equal to 600 V, category II / 300 V, category III.
  • Attention: Unexpected voltages may occur at defective devices, capacitors,…!
  • The insulation of the measurement cables may not be damaged, cables and plugs may not be interrupted!
  • No measurements may be made in electrical circuits with corona discharge (high-voltage)! Special care is required when measurements are made in HF electrical circuits where dangerous pulsating voltages may be present.
  • Measurements under moist ambient conditions are not permissible.
  • Do not overload the measuring ranges beyond their allowable capacities!
  • The input of the current measuring ranges is fitted with a fuse. Use original fuses only, see label on the housing or technical data section!
  • Only operate the instrument with batteries inserted. Otherwise dangerous currents or voltages will not be indicated and your instrument may be damaged.
  • The device may not be operated with the fuse or battery compartment cover removed.
