Risk of instrument damage
●
To avoid damage to the device, protect it from vibration or shock during
transport and handling, and be especially careful to avoid dropping.
●
To avoid damage to the device, do not place the device on an unstable
table or an inclined place. Dropping or knocking down the device can
cause injury or damage to the device.
●
Do not store or use the device where it could be exposed to direct sun-
light, high temperature, humidity, or condensation. Under such condi-
tions, the device may be damaged and insulation may deteriorate so
that it no longer meets its specifications.
●
Do not store or use the device near induction heating systems (such as
high-frequency induction heating systems and IH cooking equipment)
●
Do not store or use the device near HF power supply units.
●
Before using the device the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find
any damage, contact your dealer or R&S representative.
●
This device is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-proof. To avoid
damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
●
The sensor head is a precision assembly including a molded compo-
nent, a ferrite core, and a Hall effect element. It may be damaged if sub-
jected to sudden changes in ambient temperature, or mechanical strain
or shock, and therefore great care should be exercised in handling it.
●
Do not apply a static electricity or other source of high voltage to the
sensor. Doing so may damage the internal Hall elements and circuitry of
the sensor.
●
The mating surfaces of the sensor head are precision, and should be
treated with care. If these surfaces are scratched, performance may be
impaired.
●
Do not place foreign objects between the mating faces of the sensor
head, insert foreign objects into the gaps of the sensor head, or touch
the mating faces. Doing so may worsen the performances of the sensor
or interfere with clamping action.
●
While the POWER LED is on, keep the core section of the sensor
closed, except when clamping it onto the conductor to be measured.
The mating surface of the core section can be scratched while it is open.
