1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
The instrument was designed in compliance with standards IEC/EN61557 and
IEC/EN61010-1 relative to electronic equipment.
CAUTION
For your own safety and to avoid damaging the instrument you are
recommended to follow the procedures described in this manual and read
carefully all instructions preceded by this symbol
Before and during measurements keep to the following instructions:
 Do not take measurements in wet places as well as in the presence of explosive gas
and combustibles or in dusty places
 Even though you are not taking any measurement avoid any contact with the circuit
under test, with exposed metal parts, unused measuring terminals, circuits etc
 Do not take any measurement any measurement whenever anomalous conditions
occur such as deformations, breaks, leakages, blind display etc
 Pay utmost attention when taking measurements of voltage higher than 25V in special
places (building yards, swimming pools, etc.) and higher than 50V in ordinary places
due to the risk of electric shock.
The following symbols are used in this manual as well as on the instrument:
CAUTION: Please read carefully this manual in order to understand the
nature of the potential danger and the actions to undertake
Refer to the instruction manual. An improper use may damage the instrument or
its components as well as endanger the user
DC or AC voltage and current
High voltage danger: risk of electric shock

1.1. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
 This instrument was designed for use in environments with pollution degree 2
 It can be used for voltage and current measurements on electrical installations with
CAT III 240V to earth and maximum voltage of 415V between inputs
 You are recommended to respect the usual safety regulations aimed at protecting you
against dangerous currents and the instrument against improper use
 Only the original accessories supplied along with the instrument guarantee compliance
with the safety standards in force. They must be in a good condition and, if necessary,
replaced with identical ones
 Do not test nor connect to any circuit exceeding the specified overload protection
 Do not take measurements under environmental conditions exceeding the limits
indicated in this manual
 Make sure that batteries are correctly installed
 Before connecting test leads to the circuit under test check that the right function was
selected.
