1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
The word “instrument” in this manual means generically both the model I-V400 and the
model SOLAR I-V except notation specifically indicated. This instrument has been
designed in compliance with directives IEC/EN61010-1 regarding electronic measuring
instruments. Before and while measuring, carefully follow the instructions below:
 Do not perform voltage or current measurements in humid environments
 Do not perform measurements near explosive gas or material and fuels or in dusty
environments
 Avoid contact with the circuit tested if no measurement is being performed
 Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, test terminals not in use, circuits, etc.
 Do not perform any measurement if instrument anomalies are detected, such as
deformations, breaks, leakage of substances, no display reading, etc.
 Only use original HT accessories
In this manual, following symbols are used:
CAUTION: Follow the instructions given in this manual; improper use may
damage the instrument, its components or create dangerous situations for the
operator
High voltage: risk of electrical shock
Double insulation

1.1. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
 This instrument has been designed for use in the environmental conditions specified in
§ 10.5. Do not use in different environmental conditions.
 The instrument may be used for measuring of VOLTAGE and CURRENT in CAT II
1000V DC or CAT III 300V to ground. Do not use on systems exceeding the limit
values specified in § 10.1 and § 10.2
 We recommend to follow the ordinary safety rules aimed at: your protection against
dangerous currents, the instrument’s protection against improper use.
 Only the accessories provided with the instrument guarantee compliance with safety
standards. They must be in good conditions and must be replaced, if necessary, with
identical models.
 Check that batteries are correctly inserted.
 Before connecting the test cables to the circuit being tested, check that the desired
function has been selected.
