Safe Probing 

This  device  is  designed  to  comply  with  Safety  Standards  and  has  been  thoroughly 

tested for safety prior  to shipment.  However,  mishandling during use could  result in 

injury or death, as well as damage to the device. Be certain that you understand the 

instructions and precautions in the manual before use. We disclaim any responsibility 

for accidents or injuries not resulting directly from device defects. 

 

 

 

 

Never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates over the maximum rated voltage 

to earth. 

 

Please avoid clamping around bare conductors during measurement. 

 

While clamping and measuring, do not touch the clamp in front of the barrier or 

the conductor being measured. 

 

Be careful to avoid damaging the insulation surface while taking measurements. 

 

Make sure that the waveform measuring equipment connected to this device's 

output  terminal  (  BNC  )  is  equipped  with  a  protective  earthling  with  double-

insulation construction. 

 

Do not allow the device to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands. 

This may cause an electric shock. 

 

If  the  waveform  measuring  instrument  being  connected  to  the  output  terminal 

( BNC ) on this device is equipped with any other measurement terminals, take 

the  following  precautions  to  ensure  that  the  other  instrument  does  not  form  a 

bridge between the probe and any hazardous live part of a part. 

Isolate the terminal to which the probe is connected from other terminals on the 

measuring  instrument  using  basic  insulation  conforming  to  the  measurement 

category, working voltage, and pollution degree requirements of the circuit being 

tested. 

If basic insulation requirements cannot be met between the terminal to which this 

device is connected and other terminals of the measuring instrument, make sure 

that  the  voltage  input  to  the  measurement  terminal  does  not  exceed  the 

Separated Extra-Low Voltage Earthed. 

Read and observe all warnings and precautions relating to electrical safety for the 

measuring instrument being connected to the probe.
