SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• The PersonalScope is ideally suited for measurements of category II installations with pollution degree 1 and
using a maximum of 600V, in accordance with the IEC1010-1 norm. The enclosure is UL 94V0 listed
• Consequently, all measurements should be avoided in case of polluted or very humid air. One should also refrain
from measuring conductors or installations that use voltages that exceed 600Vrms above ground level. CAT II
indicates conformity for measurements of domestic installations.
• The maximum input voltage for the connections of the unit stands at 100Vp (AC+DC)
• Do NOT open the enclosure while performing measurements.
• Remove all test leads before opening the enclosure in order to avoid electrical shock.
• Use a measuring probe with an insulated connector when measuring voltages exceeding 30V. (PROBE60S).
• Remove the batteries in case of a prolonged period of inactivity.
Remove all non-rechargeable batteries when
connecting an AC/DC adapter !
Do NOT perform measurements unless the battery compartment is closed. The battery cover
should only be removed for the calibration of the probe's X10-position.
When first using the rechargeable batteries or if the batteries are completely discharged, the user should
charge them for at least 12 hours before using the unit. When the unit is OFF, the charging time for
800mA/h type batteries will be approx. 12 hours. The “Charge” indication LED on the front panel will light
up when the batteries are being charged. (see fig.2.0)
The message “Low bat.” will flash in the bottom right corner of your display when the batteries need
replacement (or charging). Insufficient battery voltage may entail erroneous measuring results. (See
fig.3.0)
