Safety Information
1. Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the Meter, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe warnings can result in severe injury or death.
Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.
To enhance safety, test leads should be disconnected from instrument when not in use.
Do not use test leads or the Clamp Meter if they look damaged.
Do not use the Meter if the Clamp Meter is not operating properly or if it is wet.
Use the Clamp Meter only as specified in the Instruction card or the protection provided
by the Clamp Meter might be impaired.
Special precautions are necessary when operating in situations where exposed live parts
at dangerous voltages may be encountered. Personal protective equipment (not supplied
with this instrument) should be used.
The test leads sould be disconnected from the instrument when making a current
measurement.
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock
hazard.
To avoid false readings that could lead to electric shock and injury, replace the battery as
soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.
CAUTION :
CAUTION : If the meter is used in the vicinity of equipment which generates
electromagnetic interference, the display may become unstable or the measurements
show may be subject to large errors.
1.1 Maintenance
Do not attempt to repair this Clamp Meter.
It contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or serving should only be performed by qualified
personal.
1.2 Cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a dry cloth and detergent do not use abrasives or solvents.
