Handling
Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

Operating environment

  • Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
  • Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
  • Protect the product from high humidity and moisture.
  • Protect the product from direct sunlight.
  • Do not switch the product on after it has been taken from a cold to a warm environment. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before you use it.
  • Never operate the product in direct proximity of strong magnetic or electromag-netic fields or transmitter aerials or HF generators. Doing so can prevent the product from functioning properly.

Operation

  • Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the product.
  • If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. The safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
    • is visibly damaged,
    • is no longer working properly,
    • has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
    • has been subjected to serious transport-related stresses.

Batteries

  • Correct polarity must be observed while inserting batteries.
  • The batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
  • Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as there is a risk, that children or pets swallow them.
  • All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
  • Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

Connected devices
Also, observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices that are connected to the product.

Product

  • Before use, always verify measurements against a known voltage source to ensure safe operation. If abnormal or erratic operation is detected:
    • Stop using immediately
    • and have the product inspected by a qualified technician
  • When taking measurements make sure no objects are trapped between the clamp jaws (e.g., cables).
  • Do not exceed the maximum permissible measurement values.
  • Risk of fatal electric shock! The product must never be used if the housing or battery compartment cover is open.
  • Risk of electric shock! Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V/AC rms (42.4 V peak), 60 V/DC.
  • The rotary switch should be set to the correct range/function before each use.
  • Inspect the product for damage before each measurement. Never take measurements if the insulation or product is damaged.
  • Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars as contact can result in electric shock.

Test leads and probes

  • The voltage between the connection points of the meter and the earth potential must not exceed 300 V AC/DC in CAT III.
  • Probe assemblies to be used for MAINS measurements should meet EN 61010-031 standard, rated CAT III 300 V, 10 A or better.
  • Risk of electric shock! Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V/AC rms (42.4 V peak), 60 V/DC.
  • Test leads must be disconnected before changing the range/function.
  • The cables have a wear indicator. If damaged, a second insulation layer in a different colour becomes visible. Do not use it if this occurs, replace it immediately!
  • When taking measurements do not grip beyond the finger barrier or grip range markings on the probes.
  • When taking CAT III measurements, probes with cover caps (max. 4 mm free contact length) must be used to avoid accidental short circuits.
  • When using the probes without cover caps, measurements between the meter and the earth potential must not be performed above the measuring category CAT II.
  • Prevent short circuits by ensuring test points/connections do not touch when taking measurements.
  • Always check the probes and leads for any sign of damage before each use. Do not use if damaged, replace immediately!

Thermocouple

  • Risk of electric shock! Prevent the temperature probe from coming into contact with voltage and current-carrying components.

  • Check to make sure the clamp mating surface is clean. Trapped dirt or debris can result in measurement errors.

Disposal

Product

This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life. Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the WEEE in a non-de-structive manner before it is handed over to a collection point.

Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):

  • in our Conrad offices
  • at the Conrad collection points
  • at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
  • End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
  • It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in countries outside of Germany.

(Rechargeable) batteries
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal household waste.

Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal of household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are:
Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).

Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection. Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuits and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
