Safety Measures
The Amprobe ISO-PRO has been designed and checked in accordance with the safety
regulations for Electronic test and Measurement Instruments EN 61010 and IEC 61010, and
left our factory in a safe and perfect condition.
WARNING
• The respective accident prevention regulations established by the professional associations
for electrical systems and equipment must be strictly met at all times.
• In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations regarding excessive
contact voltages must receive utmost attention, when working with voltages exceeding
120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC. The values in brackets are valid forlimited ranges (as for
example medicine and agriculture).
• Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to be executed
when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never alone.
• Prior to usage, inspect the instrument and used test leads for external damage. Prior to any
operation, ensure that connecting leads used and instruments are in perfect condition.
• If the operator’s safety is no longer ensured, the instrument is to be put out of service and
protected against use. The safety is no longer insured, if the instrument:
- shows obvious damage
- does not carry out the desired measurements
- has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions
- has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
• The instrument may only be used within the operating ranges as specified in the technical
data section.
• Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect functioning
and long instrument life.
Appropriate Usage
The instrument may only be used under those conditions and for those purposes for which
it was conceived. For this reason, in particular the safety references , the technical data
including environmental conditions and the usage in dry environments must be followed.
WARNING
• When modifying or changing the instrument, the operational safety is no longer ensured.
• The instrument may only be opened by an authorised service technician, e.g. for fuse
replacement.
• Service and maintenance may only be carried out by an authorised service technician.
