USER’S MANUAL
CONTENTS
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS..........................................................15
ou are the new owner of a 4000 ct portable digital multimeter and we
Y
thank you for your choice.
This instrument complies with the specifications set out in the IEC
61010-1, publication concerning safety requirements for electronic
measuring apparatus.
To get the best service from this instrument, read carefully this user's
manual and respect the detailed safety precautions.
The contents of this manual must not be reproduced in any form
whatsoever without our consent.
1.1 Precautions and safety measures
1.1.1 Preliminary
∗ This device can be used for measurements on category ΙΙΙ
installations, for voltages never exceeding 600 V (AC or DC)
relative to the earth.
∗ Definition of overvoltage categories (see IEC 664-1 publication) :
CAT I
: The CAT I circuits are protected by measures limiting
transient overvoltages to appropriate low level.
Example
: protected electronic circuits
: The CAT II circuits are power supply circuits of
CAT II
CAT III
CAT IV
appliances or portable equipment with transient overvoltages of an average level.
Example
: The CAT III circuits are power supply circuits of power
equipment with high transient overvoltages.
Example
:The CAT IV circuits may comprise very important
transient overvoltages.
Example
: appliances and portable equipment
: fixed installation or industrial equipment
: primary supply level
∗ When using this multimeter, the user must observe all normal
rules concerning:
safety
- protection against the dangers of electric current,
- protection of the multimeter against misuse.
∗ For your own safety, only use the test supplied with the instrument.
Before use, check that they
Portable 4000 count digital multimeter
are in good condition.
15
1.1.2 During use
∗ Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in the
specifications for each ty
pe of measurement.
∗ When the multimeter is linked to measurement circuits, do
not touch unused terminals.
∗ When the range of the value to be measured is unknown, check
that the range initially
or, wherever possible, choose the autoranging mode.
∗ Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the
circuit under test.
∗ In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on power
itching circuits, remember that high amplitude voltage pulses at
sw
the test points can damage the multimeter. Use of a TV filter will
attenuate any such pulses.
∗ Never perform resistance or continuty measurements on live
circuits.

∗ If any faults or abnormalities are observed, take the instrument out
of service and ensure that it cannot be used until it has been
checked out.
∗ It is recommended to remove the battery from the instrument if not
used.
1.2 Protection mechanisms
This instrument is fitted with various mechanisms :
∗ Varistor protection for limiting transients of over 600 V at the VΩ
terminal, particularly 6 kV pulse streams as defined by the French
standard IEEE 587.
∗ A PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) resistor protects against
permanent overvoltages of up to 600 V during resistance,
continuity and diode test measurements. This protection is reset
automatically after overload.
∗ Two HBC fuses provide protection up to 600 V during measure-
ments of intensity type.
∗ An IP protection rating of 40.
