V. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
• Voltage input connectors U1 to, U2 & U3 are not galvanically isolated, they have the
common reference point “N” (neutral)
• Only connect the necessary number of test leads and probes for the test.
WARNING
• Always set up the measurement first, then connect the test leads and probes to the
instrument before connecting to the circuit under test
• Connect the Neutral lead first, then the voltage leads and the current probe,
Disconnect in the reverse order.
• Remove all test leads and probes that are not in use.
CAUTION
• Where possible, isolate the power to the electrical circuit to be tested before
connecting the voltage test leads and current probes.

Safety Information
• Read the operating instructions before using and follow all safety instructions.
• Use the current probe only as specified in the operating instructions, otherwise the
instruments safety features may not protect you.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Personal protective equipment must be used
to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Do not hold the current probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier, see Figure 4. ICA 3600N
Current Probe
• Before each use, inspect the current probes. Look for cracks or missing portions of the
clamp housing or output cable insulation. Also look for loose or weakened components.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the jaws.
• Do not use damaged current probes.
• Never use the current probes on a circuit with voltages higher than 600V CAT III.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductor or bus bars, contact with the
conductor could result in electric shock.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose
a shock hazard
• Use only the current probes supplied with the analyser.
CAUTION :
Ensure the current probe is connected to the instrument before clamping
around a live conductor. Open current probe outputs can induce a high
voltage in the outputs that can be dangerous to the user and can lead to
destruction of the current probe.
