- respect the precautions for use.

PRECAUTION FOR USE

Make sure that the conductor is correctly aligned in relation to the
markers and that the clamp is properly closed.
 This clamp can be used in category-III installations with
voltages of less than 600V in relation to the earth.
 Category III meets the severe reliability and availability
requirements corresponding to constant use on fi xed industrial
installations (cf. IEC 664-1).
 Do not use the clamp for currents greater than 1,000A. Limit
the measurement time for currents between 700A and 1,000A.
 Make sure that the switch and, if necessary, the leads are
positioned correctly before making any measurements.
 Always disconnect the leads from the clamp when measuring
the current.
 Always disconnect the clamp from all sources of electricity
before changing the battery.
 Do not carry out any resistance measurements, continuity
tests or diode tests on a live cicuit.
 Set the switch to OFF when you are not using the clamp.
 The probe assemblies used for mains voltage measurements
must be of rated measurement category IV or better per CEI
61010-031 and have a rated voltage of at least 600V.
