SAFETY INFORMATION

To ensure safe operation and service of this Current Probe,
• Use the Current Probe only as specified in the operating instructions;
otherwise the Current Probe's safety features may not protect you.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual 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.
• Before each use, inspect the Current Probe. Look for cracks or missing
portions of the Current Probe housing or output cable insulation. Also
look for loose or weakened components. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the jaws.
• Do not use the Current Probe if any part of the Current Probe,
including output lead and connector(s), appear to be damaged or if a
malfunction of the Current Probe is suspected.
• To avoid electric shock, do not touch any naked conductor with hand
or skin; and do not ground yourself while using the Current Probe.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60V dc, 30V ac rms or
42V ac peak. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Do not use the Current Probe if it operates abnormally.
• Before use, verify the Current Probe's operation by measuring a known
current.
• Always connect the Current Probe to display device before it is
installed around the conductor.
• Do not operate the Current Probe where explosive gas, vapor, or dust
is present.
• To avoid personal injury, always ensure that the Current Probe is
removed from any live electric circuit, and leads are disconnected
before opening the battery cover or the case.
• If the LED does not light when the range switch is in the or position,
the battery is low and must be replaced immediately.
• Do not use the Current Probe if the Current Probe or your hand is wet.
• Do not use the Current Probe if the wear indicator in the jaw opening is
not visible.
• Do not use the Current Probe above its rated frequency of 20kHz.
• Except replacing battery, never attempt to repair or service the Current
Probe.
• CAT IV - Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed
at the source of the low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity
meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices
and ripple control units.
