IEC/EN 61010-2-31 for test leads

“This product has been tested to the requirements of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, second edition, including Amendment 1, or a later version of the same standard incorporating the same level of testing requirements”. Measurement Category III (CAT III) is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit- breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes,3 switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation. CENELEC Directives The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage directive 2006/95/EC and Electromagnetic compatibility directive 2004/108/EC XWarning: Read Before Using

• To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these instructions and use the Meter only as specified in this manual.

• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

• Always use the proper function and range for measurements.

• Before rotating the function range selection switch, disconnect test probe from circuit under test.

• Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring on a known voltage source.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the test probe or between any test probe and earth ground.

• Use the Meter with caution for voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose electrical shock hazards.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high- voltage capacitors before testing resistance.

• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.

• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery door.

• if the meter is used in a manner not specified in the users manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired4

The resistance load is around 1KΩ.The resistance load is around 1KΩ.9 Measuring AC and DC Current Press SELECT button for switching to DC current measurement function. XTo avoid personal injury or damage to the Meter:

1. Do not attempt to make an in-circuit current

measurement when the open-circuit potential to earth ground exceeding 600 V.

2. Switch to proper function and range for your

3. Do not place the test probe in parallel with a circuit

when the test leads are connected to the current terminals.

4. Connect the test leads to the correct input A/mA μA

current terminal and to the circuit before powering the circuit under test.
