Service work must only be undertaken by trained qualified staff.

In all repair work care must be taken that the design parameters of the instru- ment are not modified to the detriment of safety, that assembled parts corre- spond to the original spares and that they are reassembled properly (factory state).

Caution

Before any maintenance, repair or parts replacement the instrument must be disconnected from all voltage sources.

Replacing Batteries

Note

NiMH or NiCADcells may be used but must be charged outside of the instrument. The number of measurements available with these cells will typically be different to those available using alkaline cells.

This instrument is equipped with six 1.5 V batteries IEC RL 6 or type AA. If after pressing the START-button all display-segments are lit (instrument re- sets, display-test) or if “LO-BAT” appears on display during a measurement the batteries must be replaced or the accumulators must be recharged.

Caution

For replacement of batteries the measuring cable must be disconnected, and the instrument switched off. Now the two screws at the rear of the instrument can be loosened with a suitable tool (screwdriver) and the battery recess cover removed. When replacing batteries, mind the correct polarity.

Always replace the complete set of batteries.

Note

For protection of the environment, please ensure proper disposal of the batteries.
