These symbols alert you to important safety considerations.
WARNING, HIGH VOLTAGE. Risk of electric shock or burn.
CAUTION of damage to probe or instrument, or WARNING of hazard to
!
health. Attend to the accompanying information to protect against
personal injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions are fully
understood and met.
General Precautions
!
To avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment:
Use only as specified. Using the probes and/or the equipment it is connected to in a
manner other than specified may impair the protection mechanisms.
Keep the probe body and output cable away from the circuits being measured.
Only tips are intended for contact with electrical sources.
Do not use the probe for measurements on Mains circuits. The probes do not
have a CAT rating for use on these types of circuits.
Use only indoors. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probes and
accessories for damage such as tears in insulation or other defects in the body, cable
jacket, etc. If any part is damaged, cease operation immediately and sequester the
probes from inadvertent use.
WARNING
Do not use the probes to make measurements on circuits with voltages higher than
70 V DC or 46.7 V peak AC.
Probes are insulated with solder mask, conformal coating and rubber coating. Avoid
probing devices with sharp metal edges that might damage the probe insulation and
result in lethal electric shock.
