SAFETY INFORMATION

The ACDC-100 Series Digital Clampmeters conform to EN61010-1:2001; EN61010- 2-•

032:2002; CAT III 600 V, class 2 and pollution deg.2

This instrument is EN61010-1 certiﬁed for Installation Category III (600V). It is•

recommended for use in distribution level and ﬁxed installations, as well as lesser

installations, 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.

Warnings and Precautions

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 elements•

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 measurement.

Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before•

using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately.

This Clamp-on meter is designed to apply around or remove from uninsulated hazardous•

live conductors. Individual protective equipment must be used if hazardous live parts of

the installation could be accessible.

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 >1000 V // servicing CRT equipment.

Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery.•

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing•

resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury,•

replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator () appears.
