Warnings And Precautions - Amprobe AU92 Manual De Uso

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Safety Information
The AU92 Automotive Meter conforms to EN61010-1:2001; CAT III 600 V, class 2 and
•
pollution deg.2
This instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category III ( 600V). It is recom-
•
mended for use in distribution level and fixed installations, as well as lesser installa-
tions, and not for primary supply lines, overhead lines and cable systems.
Do not exceed the maximum overload limits per function (see specifications) nor the
•
limits marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 600 Vdc/600 V ac rms
between the test lead and earth ground.
• The extension probe tip TP92 is intended for use only with TL36 test leads. The TP92
is CAT III-1000V / CAT IV-600V rated. Keep fingers behind the guard ring.
� WARNING
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
•
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing meter functions.
•
Inspect the Clampmeter, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use any
•
damaged part.
Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit ele-
•
ments or test probe tips.
Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
•
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
•
moisture.
The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe
•
the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC
rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
•
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the test
•
leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held part during measure-
ment.
Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal
•
before using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately.
Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10 mA // AC
•
power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical storms // current,
when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >600 V // servicing CRT
equipment.
Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery.
