Attaching the Color Clips

2.2 

Attaching the Color Clips

Attach the accompanying color clips and spiral tubes as needed.

Attaching the color clips (white, red, blue, and yellow) to make the 

voltage sensors distinguishable from each other.
Color-code the sensors according to the three-phase labeling 
system of your country or region.
You can bind cables together using the spiral tubes.

Attach the clips with the same color on the clip side and 

the instrument side of each cable.

Bind cables together using the spiral tubes.
