 1. Safety instructions 

The Digital Multimeter E conforms to the safety 

requirements for electrical equipment for meas-

urement, control and laboratory use in DIN EN 

61010 part 1. Safe operation of the apparatus is 

guaranteed with correct handling. However, 

safety is not guaranteed if the apparatus is han-

dled improperly or carelessly.  

• 

Read this manual carefully before using the 

digital multimeter and follow the instructions! 

• 

Before using the meter, check the case and 

test leads for any damage. In the event of 

any malfunction/operational defect or visible 

damage, do not use the meter. Pay particu-

lar attention to the insulation surrounding the 

measurement sockets. 

• 

Use with caution when working above 30 V 

ACrms, or 60 V DC. Such voltages pose a 

shock hazard. 

• 

The limit of the measurement range must 

not be exceeded. If the values of the meas-

urand are unknown, always switch from a 

higher measurement range to a lower one. 

• 

When measuring current, turn off circuit 

power before connecting the meter in the 

circuit. 

• 

Connect the common test lead before you 

connect the live test lead. When you discon-

nect test leads, disconnect the live test lead 

first. 

• 

When using the measuring probes, keep 

your fingers behind the finger guards on the 

probes. 

• 

Do not operate the meter around explosive 

gas, vapour, or dust. 

• 

Do not conduct measurements in a humid 

environment. Work area, hands, shoes and 

floor must be dry. 

• 

To avoid false readings, which could lead to 

possible electric shock or personal injury, 

replace the batteries as soon as the low bat-

tery indicator ( 

+  -

 ) appears. 

• 

Before the case is opened, the meter has to 

be switched off and the leads must be dis-

connected from the meter. 

• 

Never use the meter when the case is open. 

• 

When disposing empty batteries follow the 

local regulations. Never dispose of them in 

the regular household garbage.
