1.1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
the warnings, cautions and instructions referred to in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied by the
operator.
WARNING!
to
avoid physical injury never take measurements on bare conductors, bare or frayed cable.
WARNING! USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
WARNING! Engines produce carbon monoxide which is odourless and causes slower reaction time which could lead to serious injury.
An engine which is operating should be in a well ventilated area, or the vehicle's exhaust should be connected to an adequate fume
removal system.
DO NOT use leads of clamp-on adaptor or multimeter if damaged or if the wire is bared in any way.
DO NOT use the clamp-on adaptor if it has been damaged.
DO NOT clamp to conductors with voltages equal to or exceeding 300V Dc or 240V rms Ac
Exceeding the electrical limits of this clamp-on adaptor meter is dangerous and will expose you to serious or possibly fatal
injury. Carefully read and understand the specification limits and cautions in this safety section.
familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the clamp-on adaptor and multimeter (see multimeter manual) as well as the
potential hazards.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
When working on a vehicle which is being tested or repaired ensure that the handbrake is on and the front wheels are chocked to avoid
the vehicle moving and causing injury.
Wear suitable eye protection when testing or repairing a vehicle.
Before commencing testing, follow instructions below and select the correct input sockets, function and range on the multimeter.
to maintain the accuracy of the clamp-on adaptor, replace the discharged battery immediately when the symbol '
LOW BAT' appears on
the display.
Avoid measurement errors from outside interference. Keep the meter away from spark plug and coil wires.
When using a clamp-on adaptor, please observe all normal safety rules concerning protection against the dangers of electrical current
and protect the clamp-on adaptor against misuse.
full compliance with safety standards can only be guaranteed if used with the test leads supplied. If necessary, they must be replaced
with genuine sealey supplied leads with the same electronic ratings. failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.
Before commencing testing, follow instructions below and select the correct input sockets, function and range on the multimeter.
Always take care when working with voltages above 35V Dc or 25V Ac rms. these voltages are considered a shock hazard.
Always keep fingers behind the probe barriers whilst measuring and
DO NOT use when hands are wet.
If any abnormal readings are observed, the multimeter must be checked out by an authorised technician.
When not in use, store the clamp-on adaptor carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location out of direct sunlight. If storing for a long period
of time, remove the battery. storage temperature range: -15°c to 50°c.
Designed for use with a standard multimeter and measures current draw from vehicle components, in situ, without the need to break into the
circuit. suitable for measuring both Ac and Dc current. fitted with 4mm banana elbow connectors and supplied in a storage pouch. Powered
by a 9V battery (supplied). the clamp-on adaptor can also be used with an oscilloscope, using a suitable Bnc conversion adaptor.
