Attention!

!

Do not perform measurements in the 
event of over-ranging! 

Current which exceeds the measuring 
range may not be measured. 

Do not perform measurements at bare 
wires! 
Do not perform measurements at busbars! 

Safe Handling

•

The housing and the handles must be free 
of dust, grease and moisture.

•

The operator’s fingers may not be 
extended beyond the safety collar during 
measurement.

•

Avoid excessive mechanical stress such 
as impact and vibration, as well as high 
temperatures, moisture and strong 
magnetic fields.

•

The battery compartment lid must be 
secured with the appropriate Phillips head 
screw.
