DANGER
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.
Read the instructions in this manual before performing installation, and take note of
the following precautions:
1. Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are turned OFF before
performing any work on the instrument. Failure to do so may result in serious or even fatal
injury and/or equipment damage.
2. Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels on the front of
the instrument to ensure that your instrument is equipped with the appropriate power supply
voltage, input voltages and currents for your application.
3. Do not connect the instrument to a power source if it is damaged.
4. Do not expose the instrument to rain or moisture.
5. The secondary of an external current transformer must never be allowed to be open
circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause high voltages, possibly
resulting in equipment damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the current
transformer wiring is made through shorting switches and is secured using an external strain
relief to reduce mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.
6. Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its associated electrical
equipment must perform setup procedures.
7. DO NOT open the instrument under any circumstances.
Read this manual thoroughly before connecting the meter to the current carrying
circuits. During operation of the meter, hazardous voltages are present on input
terminals. Failure to observe precautions can result in serious or even fatal injury
or damage to equipment.
