The ACD-3300 IND and ACDC-3400 IND Digital Clamp meters conform to
•
EN61010-1:2001; EN61010- 2-032:2002; CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V, class II and
pollution deg. 2. EMC: conforms to EN61326-1.
Each instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category IV (600V). It is
•
recommended for primary supply lines, overhead lines and cable systems. and in
distribution level and fixed installations, as well as lesser installations.
Do not exceed the maximum overload limits per function (see specifications) nor the
•
limits marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 1000 Vdc/750 Vac rms
between the test lead and earth ground.
Warnings and Precautions
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
•
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing meter functions.
•
Disconnected from the meter’s test leads before measuring current.
•
Inspect the Clampmeter, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use any
•
damaged part.
Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit
•
elements or test probe tips.
Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
•
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
•
moisture.
The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe
•
the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC, 42.4 Vpk,
or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
•
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the
•
test leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held part during
measurement.
Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal
•
before using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately.
This Clamp-on meter is designed to apply around or remove from un-insulated
•
hazardous live conductors. Individual protective equipment must be used if
hazardous live parts of the installation could be accessible.
