Safety
Warning
To avoid electric shock or fire, you must observe the following guidelines:
Before you proceed to operate the analyzer, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the pre-
sent manual and observe the safety regulations and specifications provided by the pro-
ducer.
Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may result in
damage to the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.
Analyzers must be operated only by appropriately qualified personnel with relevant cer-
tificates authorizing the personnel to perform works on electric systems. Operating the
analyzer by unauthorized personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a
source of danger for the user.
The device must not be used for networks and devices in areas with special conditions,
e.g. fire-risk and explosive-risk areas.
Before starting the work, check the analyzer, wires, current probes and other accesso-
ries for any sign of mechanical damage. Pay special attention to the connectors.
It is unacceptable to operate the device when:
it is damaged and completely or partially out of order,
its cords and cables have damaged insulation,
of the device and accessories mechanically damaged.
Do not power the analyzer from sources other than those listed in this manual.
Do not connect inputs of the analyzer to voltages higher than the rated values.
Use accessories and probes with a suitable rating and measuring category for the tested
circuit.
Do not exceed the rated parameters of the lowest measurement category (CAT) of the
used measurement set consisting of the analyzer, probes and accessories. The meas-
urement category of the entire set is the same as of the component with the lowest meas-
urement category.
If possible, connect the analyzer to the de-energized circuits.
Opening the device socket plugs results in the loss of its tightness, leading to a possible
damage in adverse weather conditions. It may also expose the user to the risk of electric
shock.
Do not handle or move the device while holding it only by its cables.
Do not unscrew the nuts from the cable glands, as they are permanently fixed. Unscrew-
ing the nuts will void the guarantee.
Repairs may be performed only by an authorized service point.
The analyzer is equipped with an internal Li-Ion battery, which has been tested by an inde-
pendent laboratory and is quality-certified for compliance with the standard
UN Manual of Tests and
Criteria Part III Subsection 38.3 (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5).
Therefore, the analyzer is approved for
air, maritime and road transport.
