Safety
7
This instrument is only made for use with the Infiniium. Do not
plug the probe into any interface other than the AutoProbe
interface, of which Infiniium has a protective earthing with
double-insulation construction.
Take the following precautions to ensure that the Infiniium does
not form a bridge between the probe and any hazardous live part:
- Isolate the AutoProbe interface to which the probe is
connected from other AutoProbe interfaces using basic insulation
conforming to the overvoltage category, working voltage, and
pollution degree requirements of the circuit being tested.
- If basic insulation requirements cannot be met between the
AutoProbe interface to which this unit is connected and other
AutoProbe interfaces of the measuring instrument, make sure
that the voltage input to the AutoProbe interfaces does not
exceed the safe voltage level (SELV-E).
- Read and observe all warnings and precautions relating to
electrical safety for the Infiniium.
Refer to the following standards regarding the meanings of
underlined terms: IEC61010-1, IEC61010-2-031, and
IEC61010-2-032.
To prevent electric shock, do not allow the unit to become wet
and do not use the unit when your hands are wet.
The maximum continuous input range is based on heat that is
internally generated during measurement. Never input current in
excess of this level. Exceeding the rated level may result in
damage to the probe.
The maximum continuous input range varies according to the
frequency of the current being measured. See Figure 10 on page
23 in “Characteristics and Specifications”.
