1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES

General

For your own safety and to avoid damage to the instrument we suggest you to follow the

procedures listed below:

NOTE: Before and during measurements be diligent to follow the instructions.

• Make sure that the electrical instrument is operating properly before use.

• Before attaching any of the conductors, make sure that the voltage present in the

conductor is in the range of the instrument.

• Keep the instruments in their carrying case when not in use.

• If the transmitter or receiver will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries to

prevent leakage in the instruments.

• Use Amprobe approved cables and accessories only.

Safety precautions

• In many instances, you will be working with dangerous level of voltage and/or current,

therefore, it is important that you avoid direct contact with any uninsulated, current

carrying surfaces. Wear appropriate insulated gloves and protective clothing in

hazardous voltage areas

• Do not measure voltage or current in wet or dusty places

• Do not measure in presence of gas, explosive materials or combustibles

• Do not touch the circuit under test if no measurement is being taken

• Do not touch exposed metal parts, unused terminals, circuits and so on

• Do not use the instrument if it seems to be malfunctioning (i.e. if you notice

deformations, breaks, leakage of substances, and absence of messages on the display

and so on.)
