Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury:
•
Before each use, inspect the Current Clamp.
Look for cracks or missing portions of the
clamp housing and output cable insulating
cover and for loose or weakened
components. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the clamp jaws.
•
Do not use a damaged Current Clamp. If a
clamp is damaged, tape it shut to prevent
unintended operation. A damaged clamp
under warranty will be promptly repaired or
replaced (at Fluke’s discretion) and returned
at no extra charge.
If the Current Clamp does not work or perform properly, use
the following steps to help isolate the problem:
1.
Inspect the jaw mating surface for cleanliness. If any
foreign material is present, the jaw will not close properly
and measurement errors will result.
2.
Verify that the function selection and range on the
measurement instrument are correct and adjusted to the
sensitivity of the Current Clamp.
Cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild
detergent.
W
Caution
To avoid damaging the Current Clamp, do not use
abrasives or solvents to clean the clamp.
Open the jaws and wipe the magnetic pole pieces with a lightly
oiled cloth. Do not allow rust or corrosion to form on the
magnetic core ends.

Safety Information
XW
Read First: Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the
current clamp, follow these instructions:
•
Read the operating instructions before use
and follow all safety instructions.
•
Use the Current Clamp only as specified in
the operating instructions, otherwise the
clamp’s safety features may not protect you.
•
Adhere to local and national safety codes.
Individual protective equipment must be used
to prevent shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•
Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere
beyond the tactile barrier, see Figure 1.
•
Before each use, inspect the Current Clamp.
Look for cracks or missing portions of the
clamp housing or output cable insulation.
Also look for loose or weakened components.
Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the jaws.
•
Never use the clamp on a circuit with voltages
higher than 1000 V CAT III or 600 V CAT IV.
•
CAT III equipment is designed to protect
against transients in equipment in fixed-
equipment installations, such as
distribution panels, feeders and short
branch circuits, and lighting systems in
large buildings.
•
CAT IV equipment is designed to protect
against transients from the primary
supply level, such as an electricity meter
or an overhead or underground utility
service.
•
Use extreme caution when working around
bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with the
conductor could result in electric shock.
•
Use caution when working with voltages
above 60 V dc or 30 V ac. Such voltages pose
a shock hazard.
