Thank you for purchasing an AEMC current probe.

For best results from your instrument and for your safety, read the enclosed operating instructions carefully and comply with the precautions for use. These

products must be only used by qualied and trained users.

WARNING, risk of DANGER! The operator must refer to these instructions whenever this danger symbol appears.

CAUTION! Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this symbol may be dangerous.

Application or withdrawal authorized on conductors carrying dangerous voltages. Type A current sensor as per IEC 61010-2-032.

Must not be applied to or removed from conductors at dangerous voltages. Type B current sensor as per IEC 61010-2-032.

Equipment is protected by double insulation.

Battery

Important instructions to read and to fully understand.

Useful information or tip to read.

The CE marking guarantees conformity with European directives and with regulations covering EMC.

The trash can with a line through it means that in the European Union, the product must undergo selective disposal for the recycling of electric and electronic material, in compliance with Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC.

Denition of Measurement Categories (CAT)

CAT IV Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the

source of low-voltage installations. Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.

CAT III Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building

installations.

Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or xed indus-

trial devices.

CAT II Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on cir-

cuits directly connected to low-voltage installations.

Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

The protection assured by the current probe can be compromised if it is used in a way that is not recommended by the manufacturer.

■ Comply with the rated maximum voltage and current, and the measurement

category. Do not use the current probe on networks where the voltage or

category exceeds those specied.

■ Comply with the conditions of use (e.g. temperature, humidity, altitude, degree

of pollution, location).

■ Do not use the current probe if its housing is open, deteriorated, or incorrectly

reassembled. Before each use, check the integrity of the insulation of the unit, jaws, clamps, housing, and leads.

■ Do not subject the current probe to water or other liquids.

■ Keep the jaw contacts of the clamp absolutely clean.

■ Use suitable personal protective equipment when hazardous voltages may be

accessible in the installation where the measurement is made.

■ Any repairs must be carried out by accredited skilled personnel.
