The digital clamp meter has been designed according
to IEC1010 – 1 and IEC1010 – 2 – 032 concerning
safety requirements for electrical measuring
instruments and hand – held current clamps with an
overvoltage category (CAT II) and pollution 2.
SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY SYMBOLS
Note-Important safety information, refer to the
instruction manual.
Earth (ground) TERMINAL
Caution, possibility of electric shock
Equipment protected throughout by double
insulation or reinforced insulation.
The digital clamp meter complies with the requirements
of the following European Community Directives:
89/336/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
73/23/EEC (Low Voltage) as amended by 93/68/EEC
(CE Marking).
However, electrical noise or intense electromagnetic
fields in the vicinity of the equipment may disturb the
measurement circuit. Measuring instruments will also
respond to unwanted signals that may be present within
the measurement circuit.
Users should exercise care and take appropriate
precautions to avoid misleading
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure
maximum personal safety during the operation and to
ensure the meter is used safely and is kept in good
operating condition.
●
Read these operating instructions thoroughly and
completely before operating your meter. Pay particular
attention to WARNINGS, which will inform you of
potentially dangerous procedures. The instructions in
these warnings must be followed.
●
Always inspect your meter and test leads for any sign
of damage or abnormality before every use. If any
abnormal conditions exist (i.e. broken test leads,
cracked cases, display not reading, etc.), do not attempt
to take any measurements.
●
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight,
extreme temperature or moisture.
●
Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes,
outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground
potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAT II:
MEASUREMENT CATEGORY II is applicable to test
and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points
(socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS
installation.
