Risk of fatal injury
●
To avoid electric shock, do not remove the device's cover. The internal
components of the device carry high voltages and may become very hot
during operation.
●
To avoid electric shock and short circuits, never attach the clamp to
bare, unisolated conductors.
Make sure to measure at a location on an insulated wire where the insu-
lation is sufficient for the circuit voltage.
●
Be careful to avoid damaging the insulation surface while taking mea-
surements.
●
Refer to the derating characteristics when measuring current that
includes a high-frequency component and never measure any current
that exceeds the rated current. Use with high frequencies or strong
magnetic fields may cause the device to become abnormally hot, result-
ing in fire, equipment damage, or burns.
●
To prevent fire or damage of the measurement target and device as well
as burns, exercise caution concerning the following when measuring
high-frequency currents or currents that contain high-frequency compo-
nents:
– Eddy current loss may cause heating of the sensor head.
– Dielectric heating may cause heating of cord insulation and other
materials.
●
Connect the probe only to the secondary side of a breaker, so the
breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit occurs. Never connect
it to the primary side of a breaker, because unrestricted current flow
could cause a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.
●
Be sure to observe all operating precautions for the oscilloscope and
other instruments to which this device is connected.
