Warning: read before using

to ensure safe operation and service of the current transducer, follow these

instructions:

• Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety

instructions.

• Use the current transducer only as specified in the operating

instructions; otherwise the current transducer's safety features may be

compromised.

• 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.

• Before each use, inspect the current transducer and its latching system

for any damage. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding

the flexible measuring head. Look for cracks or missing portions of the

transducer housing or output cable insulation. Also look for loose or

weakened components.

• Do not use a current transducer that is cracked, damaged, or has a

defective cable.

• Never use the current transducer on a circuit with voltages higher than

600 V CAT III and 300 V CAT IV.

− 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.

• De-energize the installation on which current will be measured or adopt

safe operating procedures during application and removal of the current

transducer.

• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars.

• Do not use the current transducer to measure bare conductors carrying a

voltage from 30V up to 600V unless you are wearing protective clothing

suitable for high-voltage work. Contact with the conductor could

result in electric shock. Always use appropriate equipment for personal

protection.

• 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.

• Never apply the current exceeding the measuring range.

• Ensure that no foreign object obstructs the latching mechanism.

• Do not operate the current transducer around explosive gas, vapor, or

dust.

• Do not step on or pinch the cord. It may damage the insulation.

• Do not expose the current transducer to direct sunlight, high

temperatures/humidity or dew. It may cause deformation or insulation

degradation.
