Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the
Tester, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
- Avoid working alone so assistance can
be rendered. If the operators safety can-
not be guaranteed, the Tester must be
removed from service and protected
against use.
- Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument
function (e.g. on known voltage source)
before and after the test.
- Do not connect the instrument to voltages
higher than 690V.
- The safety can no longer be insured if
the Tester :
!shows obvious damage does not carry
out the desired measurements has been
stored for too long under unfavorable
conditions has been subjected to
mechanical stress (i.e. during transport).
- All relevant statutory safety regulations
must be adhered to when using this
instrument.
- The Tester may no longer be used if one
or several functions fail or if no functio-
nality is indicated or the Tester looks
damaged.
- When using this Tester, only the handles
of the probes may be touched do not
touch the probe tips (metal part).
- Do not use the Tester if the Tester is not
operating properly or if it is wet.
- Use the Tester only as specified in the
Instruction card including environmental
conditions and the usage in dry environ-
ments must be followed or the protection
by the Tester might be impaired.
- Use extreme caution when working
around bare conductors or bus bar.
Contact with the conductor could result
in an electric shock.
- Use caution with voltages above 50V
AC rms or 110V DC. These voltages
pose a shock hazard.
