1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This instrument has been designed according to IEC1010 concerning safety requirements
for electronic measuring instruments and hand-held current clamps.
To get the best service from this instrument, read carefully this user’s manual and respect
the detailed safety precautions.
1.1 Precautions safety measures
1.1.1 Preliminary
* This device can be used for measurement on CAT.II 1000V and CAT.III 600V.
* When using this clamp meter, the user must observe all normal safety rules
concerning:
- protection against the dangers of electric current.
- protection of the clamp meter against misuse.
* For your own safety, only use the test leads supplied with the instrument. Before use,
check that they are in good condition.
1.1.2 During use
* Before measurement, warm up for at least 30 seconds.
* If the meter is used near noise generating equipment, be aware that display may become
unstable or indicate large errors.
* Do not use the meter or test leads if they look damaged.
* Use the meter only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by the
meter may be impaired.
* To avoid damages to the instrument, do not exceed the maximum limits of the input
values shown in the technical specification tables.
* Check the main function dial and make sure it is at the correct position before each
measurement.
* Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars.
* Never measure current while the test leads are inserted into the input jacks.
* Accidental contact with the conductor could result in electric shock.
* Caution when working with voltages above 60VDC or 30VAC rms. Such voltages pose
a shock hazard.
* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on live circuits.
* Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
* Keep the fingers behind the protection ring while measuring
