SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

I Do not use the clamp on cables where the voltage exceeds 150 V RMS or DC in
relation to the earth in category III Pollution 2.
Category III meets with the strict requirements concerning reliability and
environmental constraints, corresponding to permanent use on fixed industrial
installations, as defined in the IEC 664-1.
Note: The label that you stick to the back of your instrument reminds you of the values
that must not be exceeded, the measurement ranges, and briefly, the operation of the
clamp.
I Avoid any shock to the measurement head, especially to the jaw faces.
I Keep the surfaces of the jaw faces clean. Even slight soiling may cause malfunction
of the clamp.
I Avoid the immediate proximity of metallic masses (see distortion parameters).
