Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following directives of the European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility), 2014/35/EU (low voltage), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
Overvoltage category III 600V; pollution degree 2.

CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small transient over voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable equipment
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient over- voltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines, which are stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e. main-switches on current input, over-voltage-diverter, current use counter.

To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever.

• Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
• Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
• To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
• Always start with the highest measuring range when measuring unknown values.
• Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
• Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
• Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).
• Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
• Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).
• Do not input values over the maximum range of each measurement to avoid damages of the meter.
• Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “BAT” appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false reading that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
• Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long period of time.
• Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
• The meter is suitable for indoor use only
• Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.
• Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way
• Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified service personnel
• Do not operate the equipment unattended.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild household cleanser. Ensure, that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.

| 100 … 600 V AC|

Auto Power Off

The Meter will automatically shut itself off after approx. 7 minutes after power on.

Data Hold

To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the Data-Hold button. While data hold is active, the HOLD display icon appears on the LCD.
Press the Data-Hold button again to return to normal operation.

Note:
The HOLD feature will activate when the backlight is turned on.
Press HOLD key again to exit HOLD.

Backlight

The Backlight function illuminates the display and is used, when the ambient light is too low to permit viewing on the display readings.
Press the HOLD button for < 2 seconds to turn the backlight on and press button again to turn the backlight off.

Zero button

For DCA Zero & Offset adjustment.

Voltage detector

Intended to check for the presence of AC mains voltage, signalling the user with a flashing red LED.

Operation

AC Current measurement

1. Set the function switch to the measuring range 2 A or 80 A AC
2. Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp one conductor only, make sure, that the jaw is firstly closed around the conductor, then read the reading from digital display.

DC Current measurement

1. Set the function switch to the measuring range 2 A or 80 A DC
2. Full compensate the residual magnetism by pressing Zero-key.
3. Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp one conductor only, make sure, that the jaw is firstly closed around the conductor, then read the reading from digital display.

In connection with the sale of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery Regulations to notify our customers of the following:
Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address on the last side in this manual or by posting with sufficient stamps.
Contaminated batteries shall be marked with a symbol consisting of a crossed- out refuse bin and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) of the heavy metal which is responsible for the classification as pollutant:

1. “Cd” means cadmium.
2. “Hg” means mercury.
3. “Pb” stands for lead.

You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit (Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety).
