Meaning of the symbol

Thank you for purchasing a C.A 5205 Multimeter. To get the best

service from this instrument:

- read this user's manual carefully,

- respect the safety precautions detailed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■Never use on networks at a voltage above 600 V in relation to the

earthandofovervoltagecategorygreaterthanIII,i.e.industrialand

domestic permanent installations (c.f. IEC 664-1).

■Use indoors in environments of degree of pollution at most equal

to 2 (c.f. IEC 664-1), of temperature from 0 to +50°C and of relative

humidity less than 70%.

■Use accessories in conformity with safety standards

(IEC 1010-2-031) of minimum voltage 600 V and overvoltage

category III.

■Never open the case of the multimeter before having

disconnected it from all electric sources.

■Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the case of the

instrument is not correctly closed.

■Before any measurement, check the leads are in the correct

position.

■Never make resistance measurements on a live circuit.

Warning!PleaserefertotheUser’sManualbeforeusingtheinstrument.

In this User’s Manual, the instructions preceded by the above

symbol, should they not be carried out as shown, can result in a

physical accident or damage the instrument and the installations.

Meaning of the symbol

This device is protected by a double insulation or by a reinforced

insulation.No linkingis requiredfrom theprotection earthterminal

to ensure the electrical security.

1 - PRESENTATION

The C.A 5205 is designed for the daily needs of professionals in

electricity.

- digital 2000 counts

- automatic recognition of AC and DC

- automatic or manual range selection

Different measurement accessories widen the field of applications or

confer new functions on your multimeter.

See on page «To order» the list of accessories and their reference.

(Documentation on request).

NB: Always use accessories adapted to the voltage and the overvoltage

category of the circuit to measure (to IEC 1010).
