Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be

followed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument.

Before applying power to this instrument:

Read and understand the safety and operational information in this manual.

Apply all the listed safety precautions.

Verify that the voltage selector at the line power cord input is set to the correct line voltage.

Operating the instrument at an incorrect line voltage will void the warranty.

Make all connections to the instrument before applying power.

Do not operate the instrument in ways not specified by this manual or by B&K Precision.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with warnings elsewhere in this manual violates the safety

standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. B&K Precision assumes no

liability for a customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

Category rating

The IEC 61010 standard defines safety category ratings that specify the amount of electrical energy

available and the voltage impulses that may occur on electrical conductors associated with these

category ratings. The category rating is a Roman numeral of I, II, III, or IV. This rating is also accompanied

www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187

by a maximum voltage of the circuit to be tested, which defines the voltage impulses expected and

required insulation clearances. These categories are:

Category I (CAT I): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are not intended to be

connected to the mains supply. The voltages in the environment are typically derived from a limited-

energy transformer or a battery.

Category II (CAT II): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected

to the mains supply at a standard wall outlet or similar sources. Example measurement environments are

portable tools and household appliances.

Category III (CAT III): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected

to the mains installation of a building. Examples are measurements inside a building's circuit breaker

panel or the wiring of permanently-installed motors.

Category IV (CAT IV): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected

to the primary power entering a building or other outdoor wiring.

Do not use this instrument in an electrical environment with a higher category rating than what is

specified in this manual for this instrument.

www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187

You must ensure that each accessory you use with this instrument has a category rating equal to or

higher than the instrument's category rating to maintain the instrument's category rating. Failure to do

so will lower the category rating of the measuring system.

Do not operate in an explosive or flammable atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or vapors, fumes, or finely-divided

particulates.

The instrument is designed to be used in office-type indoor environments. Do not operate the

instrument

In the presence of noxious, corrosive, or flammable fumes, gases, vapors, chemicals, or finely-

divided particulates.

In relative humidity conditions outside the instrument's specifications.

In environments where there is a danger of any liquid being spilled on the instrument or where

any liquid can condense on the instrument.

In air temperatures exceeding the specified operating temperatures.

www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187

In atmospheric pressures outside the specified altitude limits or where the surrounding gas is not

air.

In environments with restricted cooling air flow, even if the air temperatures are within

specifications.

In direct sunlight.

This instrument is intended to be used in an indoor pollution degree 2 environment. The operating

temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C and the operating humidity range is ≤95%relative humidity with no

condensation allowed.

Measurements made by this instrument may be outside specifications if the instrument is used in non-

office-type environments. Such environments may include rapid temperature or humidity changes,

sunlight, vibration and/or mechanical shocks, acoustic noise, electrical noise, strong electric fields, or

strong magnetic fields.

Do not operate instrument if damaged

If the instrument is damaged, appears to be damaged, or if any liquid, chemical, or

other material gets on or inside the instrument, remove the instrument's power cord, remove the

instrument from service, label it as not to be operated, and return the instrument to B&K Precision for

repair. Notify B&K Precision of the nature of any contamination of the instrument.

Clean the instrument only as instructed

www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187

Do not clean the instrument, its switches, or its terminals with contact cleaners, abrasives, lubricants,

solvents, acids/bases, or other such chemicals. Clean the instrument only with a clean dry lint-free cloth

or as instructed in this manual.

Not for critical applications

This instrument is not authorized for use in contact with the human body or for use as a component in a

life-support device or system.

Do not touch live circuits

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal

adjustments must be made by qualified service-trained maintenance personnel who are aware of the

hazards involved when the instrument's covers and shields are removed. Under certain conditions, even

with the power cord removed, dangerous voltages may exist when the covers are removed. To avoid

injuries, always disconnect the power cord from the instrument, disconnect all other connections (for

example, test leads, computer interface cables, etc.), discharge all circuits, and verify there are no

hazardous voltages present on any conductors by measurements with a properly-operating voltage-

sensing device before touching any internal parts. Verify the voltage-sensing device is working properly

before and after making the measurements by testing with known-operating voltage sources and test for

both DC and AC voltages. Do not attempt any service or adjustment unless another person capable of

rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.

www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187

Do not insert any object into an instrument's ventilation openings or other openings.

Servicing

Do not substitute parts that are not approved by B&K Precision or modify this instrument. Return the

instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure that safety and performance features are

maintained.

For continued safe use of the instrument

Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.

Do not obstruct cooling air flow to the instrument.

Do not place a hot soldering iron on the instrument.
