1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
1.1. FORWARDS
This apparatus conforms with safety standards EN61557 and EN 61010-1 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 or dusty places.
Do not effect measurements in environments with explosive gas, fuels.
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 effect any measurement in case of unusual conditions of the instrument such as
deformation, breakage, leakage of substances, absence of display reading etc.
Do not use the External power supply adapter (optional code A0050) if you notice
deformation, or breakage in the case, in the wire or in the plugs.
Pay careful attention when measuring voltages exceeding 25V in particular places
(building yards, swimming pools, etc.) and 50V in ordinary places because of the risk of
electric shock.
Use only cables and accessories approved by HT Italia.
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.
