Unpacking

Please check for completeness of parts while unpacking. Also
check for any mechanical damage or loose parts. In case of
transport damage inform the supplier immediately and do not
operate the instrument.

Positioning

Two positions are possible: According to picture 1 the front
feet are used to lift the instrument so its front points slightly
upward. (Appr. 10 degrees)
If the feet are not used (picture 2) the instrument can be
combined with many other HAMEG instruments.
In case several instruments are stacked (picture 3) the feet
rest in the recesses of the instrument below so the instru-
ments can not be inadvertently moved. Please do not stack
more than 3 instruments. A higher stack will become unstable,
also heat dissipation may be impaired.

temperatures, wait 2 hr before turning the instrument on.

Safety instructions

The instrument conforms to VDE 0411/1 safety standards
applicable to measuring instruments and it left the factory in
proper condition according to this standard. Hence it conforms
also to the European standard EN 61010-1 resp. to the inter-
national standard IEC 61010-1. Please observe all warnings
in this manual in order to preserve safety and guarantee
operation without any danger to the operator. According to
safety class 1 requirements all parts of the housing and the
chassis are connected to the safety ground terminal of the
power connector. For safety reasons the instrument must only
be operated from 3 terminal power connectors or via isolation
transformers. In case of doubt the power connector should
be checked according to DIN VDE 0100/610.
Do not disconnect the safety ground either inside
or outside of the instrument!
– The line voltage of the instrument must correspond to the
line voltage used.
– Opening of the instrument is only allowed to qualified
personnel
– Prior to opening, the instrument must be disconnected
from the line voltage and all other inputs/outputs.
In any of the following cases the instrument must be taken
out of service and locked away from unauthorized use:
– Visible damage
– Damage to the power cord
– Damage to the fuse holder
– Loose parts
– No operation
– After long term storage in an inappropriate environment,
e.g. open air or high humidity.
– Excessive transport stress
Proper operating conditions
Operation in the following environments: industry, business
and living quarters, small industry. The instruments are
intended for operation in dry, clean environments. They must
not be operated in the presence of excessive dust, humidity,
nor chemical vapours in case of danger of explosion.
The maximum permissible ambient temperature during
operation is +10 to +40 deg. C. In storage or during transport
the temperature limits are: –40 to +70 deg. C. In case of
exposure to low temperature or if condensation is suspected,
the instrument must be left to stabilize for at least 2 hrs prior
to operation.
In principle the instrument may be used in any position,
however sufficient ventilation must be ensured. Operation for
