ger to children.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows or falls even
from a low height.
• On industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the
industrial workers' society for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed!
• If you have any questions that are not answered in this manual, please contact
our technical service or another specialist.

c) Handling and use
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices that are
connected to this product.
• Never remove a mains plug by pulling on its cable when disconnecting it from the
front socket of the product. Always pull the plug out of the front socket by gripping
the area provided for this purpose on its sides.
• Never overload the product. Observe the connected load in the chapter "Tech-
nical data".
• Do not connect several measuring devices to each other.
• Do not operate while covered! At higher connected loads, the product becomes
warm, which can lead to overheating and potentially a fire if covered!
• Only no longer live if the plug is unplugged!
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
• Never touch the product or the mains plug with wet or damp hands when trying to
connect a plug to the front socket. There is a risk of fatal electric shock.
• Do not connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has been
transferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport). The con-
densation that develops in such cases could damage the device or cause an
electric shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature. Wait until the con-
densation has evaporated. This might take several hours. Only after this, should
it be plugged into the mains supply and put into use.
• Do not use the product if it is damaged. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric
shock!
