SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFE OPERATION AND STANDARDS
This Meter complies with IEC 61010-1, Pollution Degree 2, Over voltage Category (CATll 1000V,
CATlll 600V) and Double Insulation standards.
Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the risks involved
with measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the importance of taking safety
precautions and of testing the instrument before and after using it to ensure that it is in good
working condition.
This product has been tested to the requirements of IEC 61010
CAT II: Applicable to test and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points
(socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS installation.
CAT Ill: Applicable to test and measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of the
building’s low-voltage MAINS installation.
•
Check the clamp meter and test leads before using, guard against any damage.
If any abnormalities or damage are found, do not use the clamp meter. Carefully examine
the insulation around the jaws.
•
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed wires. Check test leads
continuity. Replace damaged test leads with leads that are suitable to the meter that meet
or exceed the safety requirements.
•
Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment
(approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•
Do not use in CAT III environments without the protective cap of test probe, The protective
cap decreases the exposed probe metal < 4mm. This decreases the possibility of arc flash
from short circuits.
•
Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the meter operates correctly.
•
When using the test leads, ensure leads are fully seated and keep your fingers behind the
finger guards. Do not contact the bare wire and connector, unused input terminal or the
circuit being measured when clamp meter is in operation.
•
Do not use the clamp meter without having rear cap and battery cover in place, otherwise
electric shock may occur.
•
To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the batteries as
