G SAFETY WARNINGS

These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the instrument.

■ Safety warnings and precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.

■ Do not leave the instrument connected to the system under test when not in use.

■ Do not touch circuit connections and exposed metalwork of the installation or equipment under test.

■ Do not use the instrument or connect it to any external system if it shows any visible signs of damage, malfunction or if it has been stored in unfavourable

conditions.

■ Always keep body parts behind the tactile barrier on the handles of the instrument.

■ Always inspect the instrument prior to use. Replace any defective parts immediately or return the instrument to an authorised service centre for repair.

■ Do not use the instrument or connect it to any external system if the casing is open or any parts of the case are missing.

■ Do not use rechargeable batteries in this instrument.

■ Always use caution when clamping the instrument around energised electrical conductors.

■ Always use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors: under fault conditions, high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a shock

hazard.

■ The instrument is not suitable for measuring AC currents in multi-core cables or DC currents.

■ The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.

■ This instrument is not intrinsically safe and must not be used in hazardous atmospheres.

■ If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

■ Use extreme caution when using the instrument in proximity to bare conductors. Avoid contact between the metal in the jaws and bare conductors. A short

circuit would create an arc-flash explosion hazard

NOTE:

THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS.

Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that National Health and Safety Legislation requires them to carry out valid risk assessments of all

electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury such as inadvertent short circuits.

The safety warnings provided in this document are indicative of safe practice and shall not be considered exhaustive. Additionally, they are not intended to replace

local safety procedures where the instrument is being used.
