1.3 Measurement category

Measurement category

This instrument can be used for measurement under class I.

Warning:

This instrument is only allowed to be used in the specified measurement

class.

Measurement class definition

 Safety requirement
CN

⚫ Class I refers to measurements taken on a circuit not directly connected to

the main power supply. For example, measurements made on circuits that
are not exported from a main power supply, especially from a protected
(internal) main power supply. In the latter case, the instantaneous stress will
change. Therefore, the user should understand the instantaneous capacity of
the instrument.
⚫ Class II refers to measurements taken on a circuit directly connected to low-
voltage instruments. For example, measurements made on household
appliances, portable tools, and similar equipment.
⚫ Class III refers to measurements taken on construction equipment. For
example, measurements made on switchboards, circuit breakers, circuits
(including cables, busbars, junction boxes, switches, sockets) in fixed
equipment, as well as equipment for industrial use and certain other
equipment (for example, fixed motors permanently connected to fixed
instruments).
⚫ Class IV refers to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage
equipment. For example, measurements made on electricity meters, primary
overcurrent protection equipment, and pulse control units.

1.4 Ventilation Requirement

To ensure sufficient ventilation, when using the instrument in a workbench or

rack, please ensure that there is a gap of at least 10 centimeters on both sides,
above, and behind it.

Note:

Poor ventilation can cause an increase in instrument temperature, leading to

instrument damage. Good ventilation should be maintained during use, and
ventilation openings should be regularly checked.

1.5 Work Environment

Operating temperature and humidity range

0 ℃ -40 ℃, below 80% RH (without condensation)

Storage temperature and humidity range

-10 ℃ -50 ℃, below 80% RH (without condensation)

Accuracy assurance temperature and humidity range

23 ° C ± 5 ° C, below 80% RH (without condensation)

Warning:
 Safety requirement
CN

To avoid the risk of short circuits or electric shock inside the instrument, do

not operate the instrument in a damp environment.

Altitude

Operating and Non-operating: 2,000m.

This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage)

category II.

Warning:

Ensure that no overvoltage (e.g. from lightning) reaches the product. Otherwise,
the operator may be in danger of receiving electric shock.

Installation (Overvoltage) Category Definitions.

Installation (overvoltage) category I refers to the signal level, which is suitable

for measuring terminals connected to equipment in the source circuit, where
measures have been taken to limit instantaneous voltage to the corresponding
low level.
Installation (overvoltage) category II refers to the local distribution level, which
is suitable for equipment connected to the mains (AC power supply).

Pollution Degree

Pollution Degree 2

Pollution Degree Definition

⚫ Pollution Degree 1: No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution

occurs. The pollution has no effect. For example, a clean room or air-
conditioned office environment.
⚫ Pollution Degree 2: Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs.
Temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected. For
example, indoor environment.
⚫ Pollution Degree 3: Conductive pollution or dry nonconductive pollution
that becomes conductive due to condensation occurs. To be found in
industrial environment or construction sites (harsh environments). For
example, sheltered outdoor environment.
⚫ Pollution Degree 4: The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused
by conductive dust, rain, or snow. For example, outdoor areas.

1.6 Care and Cleaning

Care：

When storing or placing the internal resistance tester, do not expose the LCD
display to direct sunlight for a long time.

Cleaning：

According to the requirements of operating conditions, regularly check the

internal resistance tester and test line. Please clean the outer surface of the
instrument according to the following steps：
1) Use a lint free cloth to remove floating dust from the outside of the internal
resistance tester and test line. Please be extremely careful to avoid scratching the
smooth display filter material.
2) Clean the internal resistance tester with a soft cloth soaked in water. To clean
more thoroughly, a water solvent of 75% isopropanol can be used.

Note:

To avoid damaging the surface of the internal resistance tester or test line, do
not use any corrosive or chemical cleaning agents.

Warning：

Before re powering on, please confirm that the instrument has dried thoroughly
to avoid electrical short circuits or even personal injury caused by moisture.

1.7 Environmental precautions

The following symbols indicate that this product complies with the requirements
established by WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
