Safety information
To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these instructions.Failure to
observe warnings can result in severe Injury.
Warning:
Identify hazardous conditions and actions that could cause BODILY HARM or DEATH
•Individual protective equipment should be used if HAZARDOUS LIVE parts in the
installation where measurement is to be carried out could be ACCESSIBLE.
•If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
•To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.
•Verify the Meter operation by measuring a known Current. If in doubt, have the
Meter serviced.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage/ Current, as marked on Meter.
•To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace battery as
soon as low battery indicator.
•Do not use Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
•Do not use a flexible current sensor if the inner copper wire of the flexible cord is
visible.
•De-energize the installation under test or wear suitable protective clothing during
fitting a removal of the Flexible Current Probe.
•Do not apply around or remove from UNINSU LATED HAZARDOUS LIVE
conductors, which may render electric shock, electric burn, or arc flash.
Caution:
Identify conditions and actions that could cause DAMAGE the meter or equipment under
test.
Do not expose Meter to extremes in temperature of high humidity.
