VOLTCRAFT VC-10 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 35

In schools, training centres, computer and self-help workshops,
handling of measuring instruments must be supervised by trained
personnel in a responsible manner.
Always make sure before measuring voltages that the measuring
instrument is not set to a current measuring range.
The voltage between the measuring instrument and earth must
never exceed 600V DC/ AC in excess voltage category III.
Before changing the measuring range, the test prods have to be
removed from the measured object.
Take particular care when dealing with voltages exceeding 25V AC or
35V DC! Even at these voltages it is possible to get a fatal electric
shock if you touch electric conductors.
Prior to each measurement, check your instrument including its
measuring lines for damage. Never carry out measurements when
the protective insulation is damaged (ripped, torn off etc.).
In order to avoid an electric shock, ensure that you do not touch the
connections to be measured, even indirectly, during measurements.
Do not exceed the perceivable grip range markings (8) at the mea-
suring tips during measuring!
Do not use the multimeter just before, during or just after an electri-
cal storm (electrical shock! / high-energy over-voltages!). Please
make certain that your hands, shoes, clothing, the floor, the measu-
ring instrument or the measurement lines switches and switching
parts are absolutely dry.
