PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

• Never use on networks with voltage higher than 600 V

  in relation to the ground and whose overvoltage category

  is higher than III, i.e. fixed industrial and domestic

  installations (see IEC 664-1).

• Indoor use in environments with a degree of pollution

  of 2 maximum (cf. IEC 664-1), temperature of 0°C to +

  50°C and relative humidity lower than 70%.

• Use accessories compliant with safety standards

  (NF EN 61010-2-031) with minimal voltage of 600 V

  and overvoltage category III.

• Never open the clamp box before disconnecting all

   power sources.

• Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the clamp

  box is not properly closed.

• Before any measurement, check the proper positioning

  of the cables and switch.

• When measuring current check for proper alignement

   of  the conductor in relation to the markers and proper

   closing of the jaws.

• Always disconnect the clamp from any power source

  before changing the battery.

• Do not perform resistance tests, continuity tests or semi-

  conductor tests on a circuit under power.
