Chauvin Arnoux J93 Notice De Fonctionnement page 16

Thank you for purchasing a J93 or J193 current clamp. These clamps are made for use with power and energy analyzers: PEL1XX
analyzers (J93 and J193) or C.A 833X and C.A 843X version 4 or higher analyzers (J93).
For best results from your current clamp:
„ read these operating instructions carefully,
„ comply with the precautions for use.
WARNING, risk of DANGER! The operator must refer to these instructions whenever this danger symbol appears.
Equipment protected by double insulation.
Application or withdrawal authorized on bare conductors containing dangerous voltages. Type A current sensor as
per IEC 61010-2-032.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this symbol may be dangerous.
Battery.
CE marking indicates conformity with European directives, in particular LVD and EMC.
The rubbish bin with a line through it indicates that, in the European Union, the product must undergo selective disposal
in compliance with Directive WEEE 2012/19/UE. This equipment must not be treated as household waste.
Definition of measurement categories:
„ Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
„ Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
„ Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to low-voltage installations.
Example: power supply to electro-domestic devices and portable tools.
Those current clamps comply with safety standards EN 61010-1, EN 61010-031, and EN 61010-2-032 for voltages of 300 V in
category IV or 600 V category III.
Failure to observe the safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, and destruction of the instrument and of the
installations.
„ The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be taken
in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.
„ If you use this clamp other than as specified, the protection it provides may be compromised, putting you in danger.
„ Do not use the clamp on networks at higher voltages or in higher categories than those mentioned.
„ Do not use the clamp if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or incorrectly closed.
„ Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads and housing. Any item of which the insulation is deteriorated
(even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping.
„ Use personal protection equipment systematically.
„ Keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
„ All troubleshooting and metrological checks must be performed by competent and accredited personnel.
