Risk of instrument damage
● To avoid damage to the device, protect it from vibration or shock during
transport and handling, and be especially careful to avoid dropping.
● This device should be installed and operated indoors only, between 0 and
40°C (32 to 104°F ) and 80% RH or less.
● Do not store or use the device where it could be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperature, humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the
device may be damaged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer
meets its specifications.
● Before using the device the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find
any damage, contact your dealer or R&S representative.
● This device is not designed to be entirely water- or dust- proof. To avoid
damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
● The sensor head is a precision assembly including a molded component,
a ferrite core, and a Hall effect element. It may be damaged if subjected
to sudden changes in ambient temperature, or mechanical strain or shock,
and therefore great care should be exercised in handling it.
● The mating surfaces of the sensor head are precision, and should be
treated with care. If these surfaces are scratched, performance may be
impaired.
● Measurements are degraded by dirt on the mating surfaces of the sensor
head, so keep the surfaces clean by gently wiping with a soft cloth.
● When the power is on, keep the core section of the sensor closed, except
when clamping it onto the conductor to be measured. The mating surface
of the core section can be scratched while it is open.
● Keep the clamp jaws and core slits free from foreign objects, which could
interfere with clamping action.
● Keep the sensor head closed when not in use, to avoid accumulating dust
or dirt on the mating core surfaces, which could interfere with clamp per-
formance.
● To avoid damaging the sensor cable and power supply cable, do not bend
or pull the cables.
● Avoid stepping on or pinching the cable, which could damage the cable
insulation.
