please pay attention to the following warnings and cautions before
use.
Warnings
In order to avoid the danger of electrical shock, it is important that
proper safety measures are taken when working with voltages
exceeding 30V AC rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
Where applicable other safety measures such as the use of
protective gloves, goggles etc. should be employed.
The flexible clamp meter must only be used by a skilled and
competent person who is familiar with the relevant regulations,
the safety risks involved and the consequent normal safe working
practices, and under the conditions and for the purposes for which
it has been constructed and specified.
Before each use the flexible clamp meter should be examined for
damage, cracks, cuts or scratches. Do not use if damaged in any
way.
The flexible sensor and meter to sensor cable have contrasting
outer and inner insulation to allow damage to the sensor and cable
to be easily identified. If the inner insulation can be seen, the
flexible clamp meter must not be used.
