1. Safety warnings

This instrument has been designed, manufactured and
tested according to IEC 61010: Safety requirements for
Electronic Measuring apparatus, and delivered in the
best condition after passing quality control tests. This
instruction manual contains warnings and safety rules
which have to be observed by the user to ensure safe
operation of the instrument and to maintain it in safe
condition. Therefore, read through these operating
instructions before using the instrument.

WARNING

●Read through and understand instructions contained

in this manual before using the instrument.

●Keep the manual at hand to enable quick reference

whenever necessary.

●The instrument is to be used only in its intended

applications.
The operating instructions described in the manual
must be observed.

●Understand and follow all the safety instructions

contained in the manual. It is essential that the above
instructions are adhered to. Failure to follow the
above instructions may cause injury and or
instrument damage.

The symbol

indicated on the instrument, means that

the user must refer to the related parts in the manual for
safe operation of the instrument. It is essential to read
the instructions wherever the

symbol appears in the

manual.

DANGER

is reserved for conditions and actions
that are likely to cause serious or fatal
injury.

WARNING is reserved for conditions and actions

that can cause serious or fatal Injury.

CAUTION

is reserved for conditions and actions
that can cause minor injury or
instrument damage.

DANGER

●Never make measurement on a circuit in which the

electrical potential exceeds AC300V.

●Do not make measurement when thunder rumbling. If

the instrument is in use, stop the measurement
immediately and remove the instrument from the
measured object.

●Do not attempt to make measurement in the

presence of flammable gasses. Otherwise, the use of
the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead
to an explosion.

●The transformer jaws are made of metal and their

tips are not completely insulated. Be especially
careful about the possible shorting where the
measured object has exposed metal parts.

●Never attempt to use the instrument if it's surface or

your hand are wet.

●Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any

measuring range.

WARNING

●Never attempt to make any measurement, if any

abnormal conditions are noted, such as broken case,
and exposed metal parts.

●Do not install substitute parts or make any

modification to the instrument. Return the instrument
to the distributor from who you purchased this
instrument for repair or re-calibration in case of
suspected faulty operation.

●Always keep your fingers and hands behind the

barrier on the instrument to avoid the possible shock
hazard.

CAUTION

●Do not step on or pinch the cord to prevent the jacket

of cable from being damaged.

●The output connector shall be removed or connected

without clamping a conductor. Otherwise, it may
cause a failure.

●Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, high

temperatures, humidity or dew.

●Never give shocks, such as vibration or drop, which

may damage the instrument.

●Use a damp cloth and detergent for cleaning the

instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Safety symbols

Measurement categories(Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC
61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical
environments, categorized as CATⅠto CATⅣ, and
called measurement categories.

Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy, so a
measuring instrument designed for CATⅢ environments
can endure greater momentary energy than one
designed for CATⅡ.

CAT.Ⅰ: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC

electrical outlet through a transformer or similar
device.

CAT.Ⅱ: Primary electrical circuits of equipment

connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power
cord.

CAT.Ⅲ: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment

connected directly to the distribution panel, and
feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.

CAT.Ⅳ: The circuit from the service drop to the service

entrance, and to the power meter and primary
overcurrent protection device (distribution
panel).

DANGER

●Never make measurement on a circuit in which the

electrical potential exceeds AC300V in order to avoid
possible shock hazard.

●The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips

are not completely insulated. Be especially careful
about the possible shorting where the measured object
has exposed metal parts.

CAUTION

●Take sufficient care to avoid shock, vibration or

excessive force when handling the instrument.
Otherwise, precisely adjusted transformer jaws will
be damaged.

●When transformer jaws do not fully close, never try to

close them by force, but make them free to move and
try again. If a foreign substance is stuck in the jaw
tips, remove it.

●When making current measurements, keep the

transformer jaws fully closed.

Otherwise, accurate measurements cannot be taken.
Maximum conductor size is 24mm in diameter.

●Hold the inserting part (except for the cable) and

disconnect the Output connector from the measuring
instrument so as not to cause a break in the cable.

6-1 Measurement procedures

(1) Connect the Output connector to the Input terminal of

the measuring instrument.

(2) Press the Trigger to open the transformer jaws and

clamp onto one conductor. In this case, the measured
conductor shall be at the center of the jaws.

When connecting a sensor with a Power meter (our
Power meter, MODEL6300, etc.) match the arrow mark
(Power source to load), which is indicated on the
transformer jaws, with the current flowing direction in
0order to synchronize the phases of measured current
and output voltage.

(3) Ensure that the tips of transformer jaws are firmly

closed.
