Power Logger Standard and Optional Accessories Maintenance work must be done only by qualified service personnel. Use only specified current probes. If you use flexible current probes, wear suitable protective gloves or work on de-energized conductors. Protect the Logger against wetness and humidity. To prevent electrical shock, always connect voltage and current test leads to the Logger before connecting to the load.
Current Probes Fluke flexi-sets or current clamps are automatically detected by the Logger when the Logger is turned on. If you change current probes, turn the Logger off and on again so the Logger can recognize the new probe.
