When using test probes without protective caps, meas-
urements between the multimeter and the earth poten-
tial must not exceed the CAT II measurement category.
When taking CAT III measurements, the protective
caps must be placed on the probe tips (max. length
of exposed contacts = 4 mm) to avoid accidental short
circuits. These are supplied with the device and pre-mounted on the test probes.
If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent
unauthorised use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. Safe opera-
tion can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
– is visibly damaged,
– is no longer working properly,
– has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
– has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.
9 Product description
The digital multimeter (multimeter) displays measurements on a digital display (dis-
play). The multimeter features a digital 60000-count display (count = smallest dis-
play value). The multimeter monitors the correct socket assignment. The multimeter
beeps and displays a warning when the sockets are not assigned correctly. This
increases the operational safety of the multimeter for the user.
The multimeter switches off automatically after a preset time if no buttons are
pressed. This protects the batteries and extends the battery life. The automatic shut-
off feature can be preset and disabled manually.
The multimeter can be used to take measurements up to CAT III 1000 V/CAT IV
600 V. It is suitable for use in hobby and professional applications.
The multimeter can be placed on a level surface using the fold-out stand for better
readability.
The battery and fuse compartment can only be opened when all test leads have
been disconnected from the multimeter. When the battery and fuse compartment
are open, the test leads cannot be inserted into the measurement sockets. This is a
built-in safety feature to protect the user.
