Safety Information
For safe operation of this clamp-multimeter,
read these instructions completely before
you use it and comply with them fully.
Failure to observe these warnings can
result in severe injury or death.
- If possible, do not work alone, so
assistance can be given if required.
- Do not use the clamp-multimeter or
test-leads if they are damaged.
- Do not use the clamp-multimeter if it is not
operating correctly, or if it is wet.
- Use the clamp-multimeter only as
specified in these Operating Instructions,
or the protection provided by it may be
impaired.
- Use extreme caution and wear Personal
Protective Equipment when taking
measurements where Hazardous Live
parts could be Accessible.
-Use caution when measuring or working
near voltages above 30 V ac rms, or
60 V dc. These voltages may cause a
shock.
-Do not allow fingers to protrude beyond
the Tactile Barrier when fitting or
removing the instrument from around a
Hazardous Live conductor, as this may
cause a shock.

Caution
If the clamp-multimeter is used in the vicinity
of equipment which generates electromag-
netic interference, the display may become
unstable or the measurements shown may
be subject to large errors.
TEST EQUIPMENT RISK ASSESSMENT
Users of this equipment and or their
employers are reminded that Health and
Safety Legislation require them to carry
out valid risk assessments of all
electrical work so as to identify potential
sources of electrical danger and risk of
electrical injury such as from inadvertent
short circuits. Where the assessments
show that the risk is significant then the
use of fused test leads constructed in
accordance with HSE guidance note
GS38 “ Electrical Test Equipment for use
by Electricians” should be used.
Maintenance
Do not attempt to repair the clamp-
multimeter. It contains no user-serviceable
parts.
Contact RS Components for repair,
servicing or calibration of this clamp-
multimeter. The address is given at the
end of these instructions.
Cleaning
To clean the clamp-multimeter, use a
damp cloth moistened with a weak
detergent solution. Do not use abrasives
or solvents.

Informations relatives à la sécurité
Pour utiliser ce multimètre en toute
sécurité, lisez d'abord ces instructions et
respectez-les scrupuleusement.
Le non-respect des avertissements peut
entraîner des blessures graves ou la
mort.
- Evitez dans la mesure du possible de
travailler seul. Vous pourrez ainsi obtenir
facilement de l'aide si besoin est.
- N'utilisez pas le multimètre ou les cordons
de test s'ils sont endommagés.
- N'utilisez pas l'appareil s'il ne fonctionne
pas correctement ou s'il est humide.
- Utilisez le multimètre conformément
aux instructions de ce mode d'emploi ;
sinon, les protections prévues risquent de
ne pas fonctionner correctement.
- Prenez toutes les précautions requises
et portez toujours les protections
appropriées pour prendre des mesures
aux endroits où des pièces sous tension
sont accessibles.
-Prenez des précautions lorsque vous
effectuez des mesures ou travaillez
à proximité de tensions supérieures à
30 Vc.a. rms ou 60 Vc.c. En effet, ces
tensions créent un risque d'électrocution.
-Maintenez vos doigts en deçà de
la barrière tactile lorsque vous installez
l'appareil sur un conducteur parcouru par
un courant dangereux ou lors du retrait de
l'appareil : vous pourriez vous
électrocuter.
