5. Pollution Degree

IEC 61010-1 specifies different types of pollution environments, for which

different protective measures are necessary to ensure safety. Harsher

environments require more protection, and the protection against the

DVM1500

V. 03 04/11/2013 7 ©Velleman nv

pollution which is to be found in a certain environment depends mainly on the

insulation and the enclosure properties. The pollution degree rating of the

DMM indicates in which environment the device may be used.

Pollution

degree 1

No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The

pollution has no influence (only to be found in hermetically sealed

enclosures).

Pollution

degree 2

Only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, temporary

conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected (home and

office environments fall under this category).

Pollution

degree 3

Conductive pollution occurs, or dry nonconductive pollution occurs

that becomes conductive due to condensation that is to be

expected (industrial environments and environments exposed to

outside air - but not in contact with precipitation).

Pollution

degree 4

The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused by

conductive dust or by rain or snow (exposed outdoor

environments and environments where high humidity levels or

high concentrations of fine particles occur).

Warning: This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 pollution

degree 2. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are related to

pollution which can occur within the environment of use. Refer to the table

above.

This device is only suitable for measurements in Pollution

degree class 2 environments.

7. Operating Instructions

Risk of electric shock during operation. Be very careful when

measuring live circuits.

To avoid damage, the meter features an alarm function. Check the

connections, the range, and the terminals as soon as the meter

buzzes.

However, this is only an indication and does not provide protection

against damage or misuse!

Never exceed the limit value for protection. This limit value is listed

separately in the specifications for each range of measurement.

Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is linked to a circuit that is

being tested.

Only use the meter in the indicated overvoltage/installation category.

Never measure voltages that might exceed the indicated category values.

Disconnect the test leads from the tested circuit before rotating the range

selector in order to change functions.

When carrying out measurements on a TV set or switching power circuits,

always remember that high amplitude voltage pulses at the test points

might damage the meter.

Always be careful when working with voltages above 60 Vdc or 30 Vac rms.

Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during

measurements.

Do not measure current in circuits with voltages > 250 V.

Never perform resistance, diode, or continuity measurements on live

circuits. Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.

Non-Contact AC Voltage Detector

Remove the test probes when performing non-contact voltage

measurements.

This function only provides a quick indication whether AC

voltages are present. It is not a fully reliable way to determine

whether a circuit is safe to touch without risk of electrical shocks.

1. Set the rotary switch to the EF- range. The green LED lights up.

2. Place the top of the meter as close as possible to the lead or the mains

outlet. The green LED turns red and the meter beeps if an AC voltage is

present.

Note: This function is only an indication whether an AC voltage is present,

and does not guarantee that a circuit is voltage-free. It does not detect DC

voltages. If in doubt, perform a full voltage measurement.

Voltage Measurements

Do not measure circuits where voltages > 600 V CAT III or

> 1000 V CAT II may reside.

Always be careful when working with voltages above 60 Vdc or 30 Vac

rms. Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during

measurement. Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is

linked to a circuit that is being tested.
