1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
This apparatus conforms with safety standards IEC/EN61557 and IEC/EN61010-1 relating
to electronic measuring instruments.
Strictly keep to the following instructions before and during measurements:
CAUTION
• For your own safety as well as that of the apparatus you are recommended
to follow the procedures described in this instruction manual and carefully
read all the notes preceded by the symbol
• Do not take measurements in wet environments
• Do not effect measurements in environments with explosive gas, fuels or
dust
• Keep you insulated from the object under test waiting for measuring
• Avoid any contact with exposed metal parts, ends of test leads not in use,
circuits, etc
• Do not effect any measurement in case of unusual conditions of the
instrument such as deformation, breakage, leakage of substances,
absence of display reading etc
• Pay careful attention when measuring voltages exceeding 25V in particular
places (building yards, swimming pools, ..) and 50V in ordinary places
because of the risk of electric shock
The following symbols are used on the meter and in this manual:
Caution: refer to the instructions reported on this manual; improper use may
