• The measuring instrument should not be used in areas or under
adverse environmental conditions in which inflammable gases,
fumes or dust are present or can occur. For your own safety it is
essential to avoid the measuring instrument or test leads beco-
ming damp or wet. Avoid operation in the immediate vicinity of
a) strong electromagnetic fields (loudspeakers or magnets)
b) electromagnetic fields (transformers, motors, coils, relays,
contactors, electromagnets, etc.)
c) electrostatic fields (charge/discharge) and)
d) transmission aerials or HF generators
• Do not use the tester shortly before, during or shortly after a
thunderstorm (Lightning strike! High-energy overvoltages!). Care
should be taken that hands, shoes, clothing, the floor, the mea-
suring device and test leads, switches and circuits etc. are abso-
lutely dry.
• If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible,
then the device must be switched off and protected against un-
intentional operation. It is to be assumed that safe operation is
no longer possible, if
- the unit shows visible signs of damage,
- the unit shows visible signs of damage,
- after prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions or
- after severe transportation stress.
• Never switch the measuring instrument on immediately after it
has been brought from a cold into a warm area. The resulting
condensation water could damage the instrument. Allow the unit
to come to room temperature before switching it on.
