Warning
The current probe may only be used and handled by qualified
personnel. To avoid personal injury, follow these precautions:
– To avoid electric shock, use caution during installation and use of this
product; high voltages and currents may be present in circuit under
test.
– Do not use the product if damaged. Always connect probe to display
device before it is installed around the conductor.
– Always ensure the probe is removed from any live electric circuit, and
leads are disconnected before removing the battery cover.
– Use the Current Probe only as specified in the operating instructions;
otherwise the current probe’s safety features may not protect you.
– Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equip-
ment must be used to prevent the shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
– Do not hold the Current Probe anywhere beyond the tactile indicator.
– Before each use, inspect the Current Probe. Look for cracks or missing
portions of the Current Probe housing or output cable insulation. Also
look for loose or weakened components. Pay particular attention to
the insulation surrounding the jaws.
– 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 in a manner not specified herein may impair
the protection provided by the equipment.
– CAT III equipment is designed to protect against the transients in the
equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution pa
-
nels, feeders and short branch circuits, and the lighting systems in
large buildings.
Always inspect the probe and lead for damage before use.
To avoid electric shock, keep the probe clean and free of
surface contamination.
Safety in its use is the responsibility of the operator who
must be a suitably qualified and authorised person. Ensu-
re that your fingers are behind the protective barrier when
using the probe.
