General Guidelines - Velleman DVM870 Manual Del Usuario

CAT IV A CAT IV-rated meter is suitable for measuring in CAT I-, CAT II-
and CAT III-environments as well as on the primary supply level.
Note that for all measurements on equipment for which the supply
cables run outdoors (either overhead or underground) a CAT IV
meter must be used.
Warning: this device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1
installation category CAT II 600V. This implies that certain restrictions in use
apply that are related to voltages and voltage peaks which can occur within
the environment of use.
• This device is suitable for measurements up to 600V in CAT II:
measurements in CAT I-environments and mono-phase appliances that
are connected to the mains by means of a plug and circuits in a normal
domestic environment, provided that the circuit is at least 10m apart from
a CAT III- or 20m apart from a CAT IV-environment. E.g. household
appliances, portable tools...

Refer to the Velleman
of this manual.
Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using
•
it.
All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons. Damage

covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for
any ensuing defects or problems.
Protect this device from shocks and abuse. Avoid brute force when
•
operating.
Protect the device against extreme heat (e.g. direct sunlight) and dust.
•
Do not store or use the devices in places with high humidity or
•
temperature, places where combustible or explosive gasses reside or near
strong magnetic fields.
Caution: risk of electroshock when measuring voltages > 36VDC, 25VAC,
•
currents > 10mA, AC power lines with inductance load and AC power lines
with fluctuating power.
Only use the included test leads. When damaged, replace them with test
•
leads of the same type and with the same specifications.
Always verify that all connections are reliable and safe.
•
Before measuring, always check the selected range.
•
Avoid body contact with ground potential (e.g. metallic terminals, output
•
sockets, lead clamp...) while measuring. Make sure to be electrically
insulated from ground during measurement.
