1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
The instrument is conforms with safety standards IEC/EN61557 and IEC/EN61010-1
relating to electronic measuring instruments.
CAUTION
For your own safety as well as that of the apparatus you are recommended to
follow the procedures described in this instruction manual and carefully read
all the notes preceded by the symbol
.
Strictly keep to the following instructions before and during measurements:
 Do not take measurements in wet environments
 Do not effect measurements in environments with explosive gas, fuels or dust
 Keep you insulated from the object under test waiting for measuring
 Avoid any contact with exposed metal parts, ends of test leads not in use, circuits, etc
 Do not perform any measurement in case of unusual conditions of the instrument such
as deformation, breakage, leakage of substances, absence of display reading etc
 Pay careful attention when measuring voltages exceeding 25V in particular places
(building yards, swimming pools, ..) and 50V in ordinary places because of the risk of
electric shock.
The following symbols are used in this manual:
Caution: refer to the instructions reported on this manual; improper use may
damage the apparatus or its components.
AC Voltage or Current.
Unidirectional pulsating Voltage or Current.
Rotary switch of the instrument.
1.1. PRELIMINARY
INSTRUCTIONS
