AC/DC Current Clamp

Instruction Sheet

Safety Information

XW Read First: Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and service of the
current clamp, follow these instructions:

• Read all operating instructions before use and follow all

safety instructions.

• Use the Current Clamp only as specified in the

operating instructions, otherwise the clamp’s safety
features may not protect you.

• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual

protective equipment must be used to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors
are exposed.

• Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere beyond the

tactile barrier. See Features and Connections.

• Before each use, inspect the Current Clamp. Look for

cracks or missing portions of the clamp housing or
output cable insulation. Also look for loose or weakened
components. Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the jaws.

• Never use the clamp on a circuit with voltages higher

than 600 V (CAT. III) or a frequency higher than 400 Hz
(i410) or 2 kHz (i1010).

• CAT III equipment is designed to protect against

transients in equipment in fixed equipment
installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and
short branch circuits, and lighting systems in large
buildings.

• Use extreme caution when working around bare

conductors or bus bars. Contact with the conductor
could result in electric shock.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 60 V dc,

30 V ac rms or 42 V ac peak. Such voltages pose a
shock hazard.

LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is one
year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the
original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and
does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in
Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or
damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling.
Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with
its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly
recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software
will be error free or operate without interruption.

Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused
products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a
greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is
available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales
outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves
the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts
when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another
country.

Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the
purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective
product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the
warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service
center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to
that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and
insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage
in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer,
transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure
was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or
abnormal condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures
caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and
tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair
costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following
repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and
the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges
(FOB Shipping Point).

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND
IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR
THEORY.

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an
implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to
every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent
jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision.
