Quick Start Manual 2.3 Measurement Preparations 2.3 Measurement Preparations 1. Connecting the Power Cord • Before turning the product on, make sure the source volt- age matches that indicated on the product's power connec- tor. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the product and present an electrical hazard.
Page 19
2.3 Measurement Preparations 2. Connecting the Voltage Cords Connect the voltage cords to the product first, and then to the active lines to be measured. Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short circuits. • Voltage cord should only be connected to the secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit occurs.

Quick Start Manual 2.3 Measurement Preparations 3. Connecting the Clamp-On Sensor Connect the clamp-on sensors to the product first, and then to the active lines to be measured. Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short circuits. • Clamp sensor should only be connected to the secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit occurs.
