I. SAFETY INFORMATION
The following symbols may appear on the instrument and in this instruction manual:
Caution refer to this manual before using the instrument.
This mark indicates explanation, which is particularly important that the user should
read before using the instrument.
Risk of electric shock
Instrument is protected bydouble insulation or reinforced insulation.
Conforms to relevant EU directives
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Safety Information
Read and understand this instruction manual completely before using this instrument. Failure to
observe the warnings and cautions in this instruction manual may result in injury, death or damage
to the instrument and other equipment or property.
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified in these instructions, the protection provided by
the instrument may be impaired
DANGER
•Do not store or use the instrument where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature,
high humidity, or condensation
•The instrument is designed for indoor use and can be safely used at temperatures ranging from
0°C to 40°C
•To prevent electric shock, do not allow the instrument to come into contact with water, do not
use in damp conditions and do not use the unit with wet hands
•Do not use the instrument in hazardous areas or around explosive or corrosive gases or vapours
•Examine the instrument and probes before use, do not use them if they are damaged
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the instrument and probes, between
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground
•To prevent electric shock, de-energise power systems before making connections whenever
possible
•Whenever possible, make connections to the output side of a circuit breaker to provide
better short circuit protection.
•Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose a
shock hazard
•Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Accidental contact with
the conductor could result in electric shock.
•Wear suitable personal protective equipment when working around or near hazardous live
conductors which could be accessible

3 Phase Power Analyser / EN
09/30/16 Version No. 00 2
WARNING
•Do not hold the test leads or probes beyond the finger guards or tactile barriers
•Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not required for the test
•Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements
•Verify the instrument is operating correctly by measuring a known voltage before use. If in doubt,
have the instrument serviced
•To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace battery as soon as the
low battery indicator “
BT
” appears
•Follow all legal requirements
•Obey posted instructions
•Never assume that a circuit is de-energized, check it first
•Always set up the measurement first, then connect the test leads and probes to the
instrument before connecting to the circuit under test
•Connect the ground lead first, then the voltage leads and the current probe, Disconnect in
the reverse order
•Route all test leads carefully
•Remove test leads from instrument before opening the battery door or instrument case
CAUTION: The measurement inputs U1, U2 and U3 are not isolated from each other, input
N is the common reference point. Connecting either U1, U2 or U3 to the circuit
means that the others are also live and therefore a danger of electric shock is
present. To avoid electrical shock, connect only the probes and test leads
required for the test.

V. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
•Voltage input connectors U1 to, U2 & U3 are not galvanically isolated, they have the
common reference point “N” (neutral)
•Only connect the necessary number of test leads and probes for the test.
WARNING
•Always set up the measurement first, then connect the test leads and probes to the
instrument before connecting to the circuit under test
•Connect the Neutral lead first, then the voltage leads and the current probe,
Disconnect in the reverse order.
•Remove all test leads and probes that are not in use.
CAUTION
•Where possible, isolate the power to the electrical circuit to be tested before
connecting the voltage test leads and current probes.

Safety Information
•Read the operating instructions before using and follow all safety instructions.
•Use the current probe only as specified in the operating instructions, otherwise the
instruments safety features may not protect you.
•Adhere to local and national safety codes. Personal protective equipment must be used
to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•Do not hold the current probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier, see Figure 4. ICA3600N
Current Probe
•Before each use, inspect the current probes. Look for cracks or missing portions of the
clamp housing or output cable insulation.Also look for loose or weakened components.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the jaws.
•Do not use damaged current probes.
•Never use the current probes on a circuit with voltages higher than 600V CAT III.
•Use extreme caution when working around bare conductor or bus bars, contact with the
conductor could result in electric shock.
•Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose
a shock hazard
•Use only the current probes supplied with the analyser.
CAUTION : Ensure the current probe is connected to the instrument before clamping
around a live conductor. Open current probe outputs can induce a high
voltage in the outputs that can be dangerous to the user and can lead to
destruction of the current probe.

(See Figure 1. Current Probe Positional Error and Figure 4. ICA 3600N Current Probe)
1. Connect the current probe to the instrument.
2. Connect the current probe jaws around the conductor to be measured
Centre the conductor inside the current probe jaw
Make sure the probe is perpendicular to the conductor
Ensure the arrow on the top of the probe faces towards the load of the circuit
For optimal reading, ensure that the conductor is positioned between the alignment
marks on the jaws of the current probe
Avoid taking measurements close to other current carrying conductors
