○Measurement Category:
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as O to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments
with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed
for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than
one designed for CAT II.
O : Circuits which are not directly connected to the mains power
supply.
CAT II : Electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC electrical
outlet by a power cord.
CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly
to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel
to outlets.
CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and
to the power meter and primary over-current protection device
(distribution panel).

#DANGER
●Never make measurement on a circuit in which the electrical
potential exceeds AC300V when using KEW 8121 and AC600V
using KEW 8122/ 8122WP and 8123 in order to avoid possible
shock hazard.
●The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips are not
completely insulated. Be especially careful about the possible
shorting where the measured object has exposed metal parts.
#CAUTION
●Take sufficient care to avoid shock, vibration or excessive force
when handling the instrument. Otherwise, precisely adjusted
transformer jaws will be damaged.
●When transformer jaws do not fully close, never try to close them
by force, but make them free to move and try again. If a foreign
substance is stuck in the jaw tips, remove it.
●Do not force to open the Transformer jaws when they are frozen.
●When making current measurements, keep the transformer jaws
fully closed.
Otherwise, accurate measurements cannot be taken.
Maximum conductor size is as follows.
KEW 8121 : 24mm in diameter
KEW 8122WP : 40mm in diameter
KEW 8123 : 55mm in diameter
●Hold the inserting part (except for the cable) and disconnect the

#DANGER
●Never make measurement on a circuit in which the electrical
potential exceeds AC300V when using KEW 8121 and AC600V
using KEW 8122/ 8122WP and 8123.
●Do not make measurement when thunder rumbling. If the
instrument is in use, stop the measurement immediately and
remove the instrument from the equipment under test.
●Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable
gasses.
Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking, which
can lead to an explosion.
●Use insulated protective gears, such as insulated gloves, for your
safety when possible electric shock hazards are concerned.
●The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips are not
completely insulated. Be especially careful about the possible
shorting where the measured object has exposed metal parts.
●Never use these sensors when their surface or your hand is wet.
Do not wet the output connectors because they arent dust/ water-
proof.
●
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring range.
#WARNING
●Never attempt to make any measurement, if any abnormal
conditions are noted, such as broken case, and exposed metal
parts.
●Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the
instrument.
Return the instrument to your local Kyoritsu distributor for repair or
re-calibration in case of suspected faulty operation.
●Always keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier on the
instrument to avoid the possible shock hazard.
#CAUTION
●Do not step on or pinch the cord to prevent the jacket of cord from
being damaged.
●The output connector shall be removed or connected without
clamping a conductor. Otherwise, it may cause a failure.
●Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, high temperatures,
humidity or dew.
●Never give shocks, such as vibration or drop, which may damage
the instrument.
●Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for cleaning the instrument.
Do not use abrasives or solvents.
