WARNINGS
WARNINGS
identify
hazardous
conditions
and
actions
that
could
cause
BODILY
HARM
or
DEATH.
1.
Before
use,
check
the
clamp
meter
and
probe
for
damage
or
abnormal
operation.
Do
not
use
the
meter
if
probe
insulation
damage,
meter
display
problems,
abnormal
meter
functioning,
etc.
is
observed.
2.
Never
use
the
meter
with
the
battery
compartment
open
or
with
the
meter
housing
disassembled
in
any
way;
otherwise
a
risk
of
shock
will
exist.
3.
When
taking
measurements,
ensure
that
your
hand
and
fingers
are
in
the
safe
area
behind
the
finger
guard.
Do
not
touch
bare
wire
or
connectors,
unused
input
terminals,
or
the
circuit
under
test
to
prevent
electrical
shock.
4.
Before
taking
measurements,
the
function
switch
must
be
set
to
the
correct
position.
To
prevent
damage
to
the
meter,
the
function
switch
must
not
be
turned
while
measurements
are
taking
place.
5.
Do
not
apply
voltage
600V
AC
or
DC
or
greater
between
the
clamp
meter
terminals
and
ground.
Failure
to
follow
these
instructions
can
cause
electric
shock
and
damage
to
the
meter.
6.
When
measuring
signals
>
42V
DC
or
>
30V
AC
rms
please
use
caution
as
these
levels
can
cause
electrical
shock.
7.
Do
not
measure
voltage
or
current
higher
than
the
allowable
input;
the
function
switch
must
be
set
to
the
maximum
range
position
first
when
the
range
of
the
measured
signal
is
unknown.
Before
measuring
resistance,
diode,
and
continuity
please
remove
power
to
the
circuit
under
test
and
discharge
all
capacitors.
8.
When
the
low
battery
symbol
is
displayed,
replaced
the
batteries
promptly
to
ensure
measurement
precision.
Remove
batteries
from
the
meter
if
the
meter
is
to
be
stored
longer
than
60
days.
9.
Do
not
service
or
modify
the
internal
circuits
of
the
meter.
Qualified
personnel
must
service
the
meter
only.
10.
Do
not
use
the
meter
in
flammable
or
explosive
environments
(gas
or
vapors).
Do
not
use
the
meter
in
environments
that
exceed
the
operational
temperature
and
humidity
specifications.
Do
not
use
the
meter
in
areas
where
a
strong
electromagnetic
field
is
present.
11.
To
clean
the
meter,
use
only
a
soft
damp
cloth
(neutral
detergents
only)
to
wipe
the
meter
housing.
Do
not
use
abrasives
or
solvents.
Do
not
clean
the
meter
if
it
is
powered
on
or
connected
to
a
circuit
under
test;
always
power
the
meter
OFF
and
disconnect
the
test
leads
before
cleaning.
12.
Use
only
the
test
probes
provided.
Replace
test
probes
with
ones
of
the
same
rating
or
better.
The
test
probes
are
to
be
used
for
mains
measurements
CAT
III
or
CAT
IV
in
accordance
with
IEC
61010
‐
031
and
shall
have
a
voltage
rating
of
at
least
the
voltage
of
the
circuit
to
be
measured.
13.
Individual
protective
equipment
should
be
used
if
HAZARDOUS
LIVE
parts
in
the
installation
where
measurements
are
to
be
carried
out
could
be
accessible.
14.
If
the
equipment
is
used
in
a
manner
not
specified
by
the
manufacturer,
the
protection
provided
by
the
equipment
may
be
impaired.
15.
To
reduce
the
risk
of
fire
or
electric
shock,
do
not
expose
this
product
to
rain
or
moisture.
16.
Verify
the
meter
operation
by
measuring
a
known
voltage.
If
in
doubt,
have
the
meter
serviced.
17.
To
avoid
false
readings
that
can
lead
to
electric
shock
and
injury,
replace
battery
as
soon
as
the
low
battery
indicator
appears.
18.
De
‐
energize
the
installation
under
test
or
wear
suitable
protective
clothing
when
placing
or
removing
the
current
clamp
from
a
test
setup.
19.
Do
not
apply/remove
the
current
clamp
to/from
UNINSULATED
HAZARDOUS
LIVE
conductors
which
may
cause
electric
shock,
electric
burn,
or
arc
flash.
