WARNING
Read the instructions in this manual before performing installation and take note of the
following precautions:
 BFM136 is intended for measurements performed in building installations, relating to
measurement category III (UL61010-1, 6.7.4).
 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.
 Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels at the front of
the instrument to ensure that your instrument is equipped with the appropriate rating
input voltages and currents.
 Under no circumstances should the instrument be connected to a power source
if it is damaged.
 To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the instrument to rain or
moisture.
 While installing HACS to the secondary of an external third party current transformer,
the external current transformer secondary output 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 secured using an external strain relief to reduce
mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.
 Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its associated electrical
equipment must perform setup procedures.
 Do not open the instrument under any circumstances when it is connected to a
power source.
 Do not use the instrument for primary protection functions where failure of the device
can cause fire, injury or death. The instrument can only be used for secondary
protection if needed.
Read this manual thoroughly before connecting the device to the current carrying circuits.
During operation of the device, hazardous voltages are present on input terminals. Failure
to observe precautions can result in serious or even fatal injury or damage to equipment.
