directive 2014/30/EU
 Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection
supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or
in damp or wet environments.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V AC rms, 42 V AC peak,
or 60 V DC.
• Before each use, examine the Product. Look for cracks
or missing pieces of the Product housing. Also look for
loose or weakened components. Carefully examine the
insulation around the jaws.
• Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category,
voltage, or amperage ratings.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare
conductors or busbars. Contact with the conductor could
result in electric shock.
• Do not hold the Product anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
• When measuring current, center the conductor in the clamp.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an
extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures
above 140 °F (60 °C). If the batteries are not removed,
battery leakage can damage the Product.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator
shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
• Use only 1.5V AAA batteries, properly installed in the
Product case, to power the Product.
• Use only 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries and follow all
battery care from the manufacturer.
• Never remove the battery cover or open the case of
the Product without first removing the jaws from a live
conductor.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you
operate the Product.
• Do not leave the Product on or near objects of high
temperature.
• For use by competent persons only.
• For safe operation of the Product, do not operate within
external low frequency magnetic fields >30 A/m. Ensure
the jaw is locked before making measurements.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.
 Caution
• For best accuracy please consider following impacts:
- use whenever possible optimized position of the
clamp when the conductor is positioned is in the center
of jaw and the angle between conductor and jaw is 90°
- reduce influences by external magnetic field
(for impact see error E11 in specification table)
- reduce influences by contamination of the jaw
(recommendation for cleaning see in chapter
maintenance)
• The measurement of differential current will be
influenced by the load current (for influence of load
current, see error E12 in Specification table).
