PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
■
Never use on networks with voltage
higher than 600 V in relation to
the ground and whose overvoltage category is higher than III, i.e.
fixed industrial and domestic installations (see IEC 664-1).
■
Indoor use in environments with a degree of pollution of 2 maximum
(cf. IEC 664-1), temperature of 0°C to + 50°C and relative humidity
lower than 70%.
■
Use accessories compliant with safety standards
(NF EN 61010-2-031) with minimal voltage
of
600 V and overvoltage
category III.
■
Never open the clamp box before disconnecting all power sources.
■
Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the clamp box is not
properly closed.
■
Before any measurement, check
the proper positioning of the cables
and switch.
■
When measuring current check for proper alignment of the conductor
in relation to the markers and proper closing of the jaws.
■
Always disconnect the clamp from any power source before changing
the battery.
■
Do not perform resistance tests, continuity tests or semi-conductor
tests on a circuit under power.
