identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A
Caution
identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or
the equipment under test.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
•
Carefully read all instructions.
•
Read all safety information before you use the Product.
•
Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied
by the Product can be compromised.
•
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
•
Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
•
Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
•
Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
•
Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the
lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe, or
accessory.
•
Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown potentials.
When HOLD is turned on, the display does not change when a
different potential is measured.
•
Use the Current Clamp only as specified in the operating
instructions. Otherwise the clamp’s safety features may not
protect you.
•
Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere beyond the tactile
barrier.
•
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 600
V (CAT III) or a frequency higher than 400 Hz.
•
Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or
bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric
shock.
•
Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test
leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal, or if the wear
indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
•
Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and
remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
