instructions whenever this danger symbol appears.

CAUTION! Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the

parts marked with this symbol may be dangerous.

Equipment is protected by double insulation.

SD Card.

Ground/Earth.

Important instructions to read and to fully understand.

Useful information or hint to read.

The CE marking guarantees conformity with European directives and with

regulations covering EMC.

The trash can with a line through it means that in the European Union, the

product must undergo selective disposal for the recycling of electric and

electronic material, in compliance with Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC.

Deﬁnition of Measurement Categories (CAT)

CAT IV Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-

voltage installations.

Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.

CAT III Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.

Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or xed industrial devices.

CAT II Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly

connected to low-voltage installations.

Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.

Precautions for Use

This instrument and its accessories comply with safety standards IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-031,

and IEC 61010-2-032 for voltages of 600V in category IV or 1000V in category III.

Failure to observe the safety instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre, explosion, and

destruction of the instrument and of the installations.

• The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand

the various precautions to be taken in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of

electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.

• If you use this instrument other than as speciﬁed, the protection it provides may be

compromised, thereby endangering you.

• Do not use the instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those

mentioned.

• Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly closed.

• Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and

accessories. Any item of which the insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set

aside for repair or scrapping.

• Use only the leads and accessories supplied. Using leads (or accessories) of a lower

voltage or category reduces the voltage or category of the combined instrument + leads

(or accessories) to that of the leads (or accessories).

• Use personal protection equipment systematically.

• Keep your hands away from the terminals of the device.

• When handling the leads, test probes, and alligator clips, keep your ﬁngers behind the

physical guard.

• Use only the AC power adapter and battery pack supplied by the manufacturer. They

include speciﬁc safety features.

• Some current sensors must not be placed on or removed from bare conductors at

hazardous voltages: refer to the sensor manual and comply with the handling instructions
