Safety Information
XW Safety Information
To avoid electric shock or personal injury, and ensure safe
operation and service of the Meter, follow these instructions:
• Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety
instructions.
• Use the Meter only as specified in the operating instructions
otherwise the Meter’s safety features may be impaired.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective
equipment must be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Before each use, inspect the Meter. Look for cracks or missing
portions of the clamp housing. Also, look for loose or weakened
components. Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the jaws.
• Disconnect the Meter from measurable conductors under test
before opening the case to replace the battery.
• Avoid using the Meter if it has been exposed to rain or moisture
or if your hands are wet.
• Do not use the Meter in an atmosphere where flammable or
explosive gas is present.
• Do not use the Meter near noise-emitting equipment or where
there may be sudden changes in temperature. Otherwise, the
Meter may produce unstable readings or errors.
• Never use the Meter on a circuit with voltages greater than
300 V CAT III.
CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients in
equipment in fixed-equipment installations, such as
distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and
lighting systems in large buildings.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or
bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric
shock.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60 V dc or
30 V ac. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Do not leave the Meter exposed to direct sunlight or in a hot or
humid location for any prolonged period.
• Keep fingers behind the tactile barrier (see Figure 3).
