1. Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following
European Community Directives: 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2004/22/EC (CE-Marking). Overvoltage category II 1000 V;
pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with
small transient over voltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III: Supplied from a cable under earth; fixed installed
switches, automatic cut-off or main plugs.
CAT IV: Units and installations, which are supplied over aerial
line, 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.
* Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation
measurement. This instrument is intended for use in installation
over-voltage category II.
* The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it
is not possible to exclude without doubts that impulses,
transients, disturbance or for other reasons, these voltages are
exceeded a suitable prescale (10:1) must be used.
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger
of serious injury and/or destruction 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.
