SAfETy INfORmATION
The RS-1007 Pro and RS-3 Pro Analog Clamp meters conform to
•
EN61010-1:2001; EN61010- 2-032:2002; CAT IV 600 V, class II and pollution
deg.2
This instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category IV (600V).
•
It is recommended for use in primary supply lines, overhead lines and
cable systems and 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 600 V ac 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.
Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10
•
mA // AC power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical
storms // current, when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage
>1000 V // servicing CRT equipment.
Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery.
•
CAUTION
For non-invasive ACA current measurements, clamp the jaws around only
•
one single conductor of a circuit for load current measurement. More than
1 conductor will cause false readings.
CAUTION
Verify the needle lock is released before making measurements.
