Connect the clamp-on sensors or voltage cords to the instru-
ment first, and then to the active lines to be measured.
Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short cir-
cuits.
• To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening haz-
ards, never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates at
more than the maximum rated voltage to earth (1000 VAC:
9667, 600 VAC: 9661, 9669, 300 VAC: 9660, 9694, 9695-02,
9695-03, 9657-10, 9675), or over bare conductors.
• Clamp sensor and voltage cable should only be connected
to the secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can pre-
vent an accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections
should never be made to the primary side of a breaker,
because unrestricted current flow could cause a serious
accident if a short circuit occurs.
• Do not allow the voltage cable clips to touch two wires at
the same time. Never touch the edge of the metal clips.
• Use only the supplied 9438-02 VOLTAGE CORD to connect
the product input terminals to the circuit to be tested.
• When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal
part of the clamp to touch any exposed metal, or to short
between two lines, and do not use over bare conductors.
Using the clamp-on sensors and voltage
• Be careful when handling the cords, since the conductor
being measured may become very hot.
• To avoid electrocution, turn off the power to all devices
before plugging or unplugging any of the interface connec-
tors.
