LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is one year
and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs and services are
warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or
end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to
fuses, disposable batteries or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has
been misused, altered, neglected or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate
substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and
that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not
warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused
products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or
different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available if product is
purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for
importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one
country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase
price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is
returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center
or send the product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance
prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized service center. Fluke
assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will
be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke
determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or
abnormal condition of operation or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of
repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following
repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the
Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB
Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING
FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT,
RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied
warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the
limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any
provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision.

Safety Information
Read First: Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the current
clamp, follow these instructions:
•
Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety
instructions.
•
Use the Current Probe only as specified in the operating
instructions; otherwise the 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.
•
Before each use, inspect the Current Probe and its latching
system for any damage. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the flexible measuring head. Look for
cracks or missing portions of the probe housing or output cable
insulation. Also look for loose or weakened components.
•
Do not use a probe that is cracked, damaged, or has a
defective cable.
•
Never use the probe on a circuit with voltages higher than
1000 V CAT III or 600V CAT IV
−
CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients
in equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as
distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and
lighting systems in large buildings.
−
CAT IV equipment is designed to protect against transients
from the primary supply level, such as an electricity meter
or an overhead or underground utility service.
