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.

* The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it
is not possible to exclude without that impulses, transients,
disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are exceeded
a suitable prescale (10:1) must be used.
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating.
Never short-circuit fuse or fuse holding.
* Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit
before switching modes or functions.
* Do not conduct voltage measurements with the test leads
connected to the mA/A- and COM-terminal of the equipment.
* The 10A-range is protected. To avoid damage or injury, use the
meter only in circuits limited by fuse or circuit breaker to 10A or
2000VA.
* To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test
and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance
measurements.
* Do not conduct current measurements with the leads connected
to the V/Ω-terminals of the equipment.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires
before connection to 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.
* Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the
equipment.
* 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.
-35-
* Do not turn the rotary function switch during voltage or current
measurement, otherwise the meter could be damaged.
* Use caution when working with voltages above 35 V DC or
25 V AC. These Voltages pose shock hazard.
* 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.
* 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
* Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work
bench to prevent damaging the controls at the front.

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or

operating device indicates that the operator must refer to
an explanation in the operating instructions to avoid
personal injury or damage to the meter.

This symbol advices the user that the terminals so

marked must not be connected to a circuit point at which
the voltage, with respect to earth ground, exceeds (in this
case) 1000 V AC or VDC

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies

them as being associated with ranges that may, in normal
use, be subjected to particulary hazardous voltages. For
maximum safety, thermometer and its test leads should
not be handled when these terminals are energized.

proper decimal point and value. If the polarity is reserved, the
display will show (-) minus before the value.

-51-
5.4. AC voltage measurements

Warning:
Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to
contact the live parts inside some 230 V outlets for appliances
because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result,
the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage
on it. Make sure the probe tips are contacting the metal contacts
inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.

Caution:
Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being
switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur during the
ON or OFF operations that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the "V" position.

2. Press the "MODE" button until "AC" appears in the display.

3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM
jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.

5.12. Temperature measurements

Warning:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any
source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.

Insert the adapter in the input socket for temperature

measurements.

Insert the K-type thermocouple into the temperature socket, making

sure to observe the correct polarity. Touch the temperature probe
head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure. Keep the
probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilize (about
30 seconds). Read the temperature in the display. The digital
reading will indicate the proper decimal point and value.

Warning:
To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been
removed before changing to any other measurement function.

9.2. Statutory Notification about the Battery Regulations

The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example

serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries
or accumulators built into the device itself. 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.

Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are

marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin,
similar to the illustration shown left. Under the
waste bin symbol is the chemical symbol for the
harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium, „Pb“
stands for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.

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).
