Warning
The Clamp may only be used and handled by
qualified personnel. To avoid personal injury, follow
these precautions:
•
To avoid electric shock, use caution during
installation; high voltages and currents may be
present in circuit under test.
•
Do not use the Clamp if damaged. Always
connect to display device before it is installed
around the conductor.
•
Use the Clamp only as specified in the
operating instructions; otherwise the safety
features may not protect you.
•
Adhere to local and national safety codes.
Individual protective equipment must be used
to prevent the shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•
Before each use, inspect the Clamp. Look for
cracks or missing portions of the housing or
output cable insulation. Also look for loose or
weakened components.
•
Use caution when working with voltages above
60 V dc, 30 V ac rms or 42 V ac peak. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
Use of this equipment is designed to CAT III
standards. CAT III equipment is designed to
protect against the transients in the equipment
in fixed equipment installations, such as
distribution panels, feeders and short branch
circuits, and the lighting systems in large
buildings.
•
Do not use the Clamp in wet environments or in
locations that hazardous gases exist.
•
Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere
beyond the tactile barrier, see Figure 1.
