Safety Precautions - Chauvin Arnoux CA 5003 Manual De Instrucciones

Thank you for purchasing a CA 5003 Multimeter.
To get the best service from this instrument:
„ read this user's manual carefully,
„ respect the safety precautions detailed.
WARNING, DANGER ! The operator should refer to this user's
manual whenever this danger symbol appears.
Equipment protected by double insulation.
The CE marking indicates compliance with the European Low Voltage
Directive (2014/35/EU), Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/
EU), Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU), and Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS, 2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU).
The rubbish bin with a line through it indicates that, in the European
Union, the product must undergo selective disposal in compliance with
Directive WEE 2012/19/EU. This equipment must not be treated as
household waste.
„ Never use on networks at a voltage above 600 V in relation to the earth. This
multimeter of overvoltage category III, satisfies the severe requirements of reliability
and availability corresponding to industrial and domestic permanent installations
(c.f. IEC 664-1).
„ Use indoors in environments of degree of pollution at most equal to 2 (c.f. IEC
664-1), of temperature from -10 to +55°C and of relative humidity less than 90%.
„ Respect the value and the type of fuses or there is a risk of damage to the
instrument and cancellation of the warranty.
- Fuse 1,6 A HPC (6,3 x 32 mm - 500 V - 10 kA)
- Fuse 10 A HPC (10 x 38 mm - 600 V - 10 kA)
„ Use accessories in conformity with safety standards (EN 61010-031) of minimum
voltage 600 V and overvoltage category III.
„ Before any measurement, check the leads and the switch are in the correct
position. When the order of magnitude of a measurement is not known, place
the selector switch on the highest range then lower progressively, if necessary,
to the appropriate range: the reading must be made, preferably, in the upper 2/3
of the scale.
„ Never measure resistances on a live circuit. If zero reset is not possible, replace
the battery.
„ During current measurements (without current clamp), switch off the power supply
of the circuit before connecting or disconnecting your multimeter.
„ To open the battery compartment, the leads must be disconnected.
„ Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the battery compartment is not
correctly closed.
