1. SAFETY INFORMATION
The meter is completely portable, LCD, 3 1/2 digit clamp meter with insulation test
function (with option 500V insulation tester unit). It has been designed according to
IEC61010 concerning electronic measuring instruments with an over-voltage category
(CATIII) and pollution 2 and safety requirements for hand-held current clamps for electrical
measurement and test.
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure that the meter is used safely and is
kept in good operating condition.
1.1 PRELIMINARY
* When using this meter, the user must observe all normal safety rules concerning:
- Protection against the dangers of electronic current.
- Protection of the meter against misuse.
* Full compliance with safety standards can be guaranteed only if used with test leads
supplied. If necessary, they must be replaced with the same model or same electronic
ratings. Measuring leads must be in good condition.
1.2 DURING USE
* Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in specifications for each range of
measurement.
* When the meter is linked to measurement circuit, do not touch unused terminals.
* When the value scale to be measured is unknown beforehand, set the range selector at
the highest position.
* Before rotating the range selector to change function, disconnect test leads from the
circuit under test.
* When carrying out measurements on TV or switching power circuits, always remember
that there may be high amplitude voltage pulses at test points which can damage the
meter.
* Never perform resistance measurements on live circuits.
* Always be careful when working with voltage above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Keep fingers
behind the probe barriers while measuring.
* When the jaw opening and to the conductor under test, your fingers must keep behind
the barrier indicator .The barrier or tactile indicator shall warn the operator of the limit of
safe access.
* Never ground yourself when talking electrical measurement, do not touch exposed
metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential. Keep your body
isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber shoes, or any approved insulating
