1 Safety
The purpose of the P-2 device is to test volt-
age and the continuity of connections as well as
measurements of resistance. In order to guarantee
the correct operation of the device and correctness
of the obtained results observe the following rec-
ommendations:
•Before operation of the device starts, get your-
self acquainted with the present manual and
the safety rules and regulations as well as the
recommendations specified by the manufac-
turer.
•Any other application of the device which has
not been determined within the present man-
ual may cause its damage and constitute a
source of danger for the user.
•The device should be operated solely by quali-
fied personnel who are properly authorised
and certified to realise measurements in elec-
tric installations. Should the tester be operated
by unauthorised persons, there is a danger of
damage to the device and the user.
•The device must not be applied to the network
and equipment within premises of special con-
ditions, e.g. in a dangerous atmosphere with
regard to explosion or fire.
•It is unacceptable to operate the following:
⇒A damaged meter which is completely or
partially out of order,
⇒A meter with damaged cable insulation,
⇒A meter stored for an excessive period of
time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g.
excessive humidity). If the meter has been
transferred from a cool to a warm envi-
ronment of a high level of relative humid-
ity, do not realise measurements until
the meter has been warmed up to the
ambient temperature (approximately 30
minutes).
•Do not operate a meter with an open or incor-
rectly closed battery (accumulator) compart-
ment or power it from other sources than those
specified in the present manual.
•Do not realise measurements for more than 30
seconds. After a 30-second measurement, the
next measurement may be realised not sooner
than after 240 s.
•The purpose of the signalling of limit values is
solely to warn the user and not to realise a
measurement.
