USER MANUAL CM605 MULTIMETRIX

Mesure alternative/continue.

Please read the safety instructions below before using the instrument to avoid any accidental injuries, such as burns or electric shocks. You must observe the instructions preceded by the symbol .

MEASUREMENT CATEGORY II is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points (socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation is expected to have a minimum of two levels of overcurrent protective devices between the transformer and the connecting points of the measuring circuit. Example : measurements on MAINS CIRCUITS of household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.

MEASUREMENT CATEGORY III

MEASUREMENT CATEGORY III is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of the building’s low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation is expected to have a minimum of one level of over-current protective devices between the transformer and possible connecting points. Example : measurements on distribution boards (including secondary electricity meters), circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket -outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment such as stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

MEASUREMENT CATEGORY IV

MEASUREMENT CATEGORY IV is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected at the source of the building’s low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation could have no over-current protective devices between the transformer and connecting points of the measuring circuit. Example : measurements on devices installed before the main fuse or circuit breaker in the building installation.

Please refer to the norms and installation categories mentioned in the specific instructions for each unit. Warning! This instrument is not a voltage or non-voltage detector in the sense of UTE C18510.11

1.4 FOR WORKING SAFELY

This symbol applies to the whole of this section. Take particular care with voltages in excess of 30V AC RMS and 50V DC. Never work above the indicated maximum voltage ranges, particularly with regards to the Earth. When measuring the intensity, always check that the value for the current to be measured is within the measurement range of the instrument. For instruments fitted with fuses, check the fuses’ condition before taking any measurements. Only replace worn-out fuses with the fuses recommended in the product’s instruction manual. Never use the instrument in a damp or dusty environment. Never use the instrument without wearing electrician’s gloves and the other safety equipment recommended by the legislation. Never touch any metal part of the contact points with your finger. Check the mechanical and electrical condition of the test leads and the contact points before taking any measurements. Any test leads or contact points that are damaged must be replaced immediately. Never use the instrument if it is damaged. Never work with the instrument’s rear casing open. Never change the batteries while the power cables are connected. Do not use the instrument in, or expose it to, direct sunlight, high temperatures or high levels of humidity. Do not remove the casing; only the battery compartment cover may be opened. Never alter the internal electronic circuits.

For instruments of installation categories I and II, never work on equipment that could generate voltage spikes (motors, etc.). When measuring in the manual range, always start with the maximum range and then select the most appropriate range. First of all connect the black contact point and then the red one. Disconnect the test leads before changing function. First of all disconnect the red contact point and then the black one. Use and install batteries that comply with the instructions in the user’s manual for the product you have purchased. Check that there is no voltage present before using the and Ω functions. To measure voltage, to measure current:

Please read the safety recommendations before use. To measure resistance, diode test, Continuity test, to measure frequency / cycle ratio, to replace batteries and fuse. To measure capacity there must be no voltage in the circuit and the capacitor to be measured must be discharged.
