These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and 
proper operation of the instrument.

Safety warnings and precautions must be read and understood before 
the DET14C / DET24C is used. They must be observed during use.

Do not leave the DET14C / DET24C connected to the system under 
test when not in use.

Do not touch circuit connections and exposed metalwork of the 
installation or equipment under test.

Do not use the DET14C / DET24C or connect it to any external system 
if it shows any visible signs of damage, malfunction or if it has been 
stored in unfavourable conditions.

Always keep body parts behind the tactile barrier on the handles of 
the DET14C / DET24C.

Always inspect the DET14C / DET24C prior to every use. Replace any 
defective parts immediately or return the instrument to an authorised 
service centre for repair.

Do not use the DET14C / DET24C or connect it to any external system 
if the casing is open or any parts of the case are missing.

Do not use rechargeable batteries in this instrument.

Always use caution when clamping the DET14C/DET24C on energised 
electrical conductors.

Always use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors: 
under fault conditions, high voltages and currents may be present and 
may pose a shock hazard.

The DET14C / DET24C are not suitable for measuring AC currents in 
multicore cables or DC currents.

The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.

This instrument is not intrinsically safe and must not be used in 
hazardous atmospheres.

If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the 
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may 
be impaired.

Rechargeable batteries should not be used in this instrument.

Use extreme caution when using the instrument in proximity to bare 
conductors. Avoid contact between the metal in the jaws and bare 
conductors. A short circuit would create an arc-flash explosion hazard.

OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

It is important to keep the mating jaw surfaces clean as even small 
amounts of contamination can cause measurement problems

It is important to not damage the mating jaw surfaces. Take care when 
clamping around electrodes as scratches on the mating surfaces  will 
cause measurement problems

It is important to avoid impacts to the clamp head as any damage will 
cause measurement problems

Damage including scratches to the mating jaw surfaces is considered 
misuse and will invalidate the warranty

Current (I) induced by voltage (V) is therefore:

I = V/ (Rg + Req)

Measured value is Rg + Req.
