Thank you for purchasing a C.A 8336 three-phase electrical networks analyser (Qualistar+). To obtain the best service from
your unit:
read these operating instructions carefully,
comply with the precautions for use.
Definition of measurement categories:
Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to low-voltage installations.
Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This device is compliant with safety standard IEC 61010-2-030, the leads are compliant with IEC 61010-031, and the current
sensors are compliant with IEC 61010-2-032, for voltages up to 600 V in category IV or 1,000 V in category III.
Failure to observe the safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, and destruction of the instrument and of
the installations.
The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be taken
in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.
If you use this instrument other than as specified, the protection it provides may be compromised, thereby endangering you.
Do not use the instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those mentioned.
Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly closed.
Do not use the instrument if the terminals or keyboard are wet. Dry it first.
Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and accessories. Any item of which the insulation
is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping.
Before using your device, check that it is perfectly dry. If it is wet, it must be thoroughly dried before being connected or be-
ing operated in any way.
Use only the leads and accessories supplied. Using leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage or category reduces the voltage
or category of the combined instrument + leads (or accessories) to that of the leads (or accessories).
Use personal protection equipment systematically.
Keep your hands away from the terminals of the device.
When handling the leads, test probes, and crocodile clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
Use only the mains power adaptor and battery pack supplied by the manufacturer. They include specific safety features.
Some current sensors must not be placed on or removed from bare conductors at hazardous voltages: refer to the sensor
manual and comply with the handling instructions.
WARNING, risk of DANGER! The operator must refer to these instructions whenever this danger symbol appears.
Equipment protected by double insulation. Kensington anti-theft system.
Earth. USB socket.
