BOX CONTENTS
The shipping container includes the 80i-500s Current Probe, this
Instruction Sheet, a Quick Reference Card, and a product
registration card.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the following safety information carefully before attempting
to operate or service the current probe.
•
W Never use the probe on circuits rated higher than 600V in
Overvoltage Category III (CAT III) or 300V in Overvoltage
Category IV (CAT IV) of IEC-1010-1. (See "Safety
Specifications".) Use extreme caution when clamping around
uninsulated conductors or bus bars.
•
Keep your fingers behind the finger guard.
•
Check magnetic mating surface of the probe jaws; these
should be free of dust, dirt, rust, and other foreign matter.
•
Do not use a probe that is cracked, damaged, or has a
defective cable. Such probes should be made inoperative by
taping the clamp shut to prevent operation.
In this instruction sheet, a WARNING identifies conditions and
actions that pose hazards to the user. A Caution identifies
conditions and actions that may damage the current probe.
International electrical symbols used are explained in Figure 2.
