Precautions And Safety Measures - Beha-Amprobe AT-7000-EUR Mode D'emploi

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, voltage/
current carrying surfaces. Wear appropriate insulated gloves and protective clothing in
hazardous voltage areas where required.
• Do not measure voltage or current in wet or damp 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.)
Safety information
The product complies with:
• UL/IEC/EN 61010-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1, Pollution Degree 2, Measurement
category IV 600 V (AT-7000-RE); Category IV 300V MAX (AT-7000-TE)

Measurement Category III (CAT III) is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected
to the distribution part of the building's low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the
installation is expected to have a minimum of two levels of over-current protective devices
between the transformer and possible connecting points
Measurement Category IV (CAT IV) is for circuits that are directly connected to the primary
utility power source for a given building or between the building power supply and the
main distribution board. Such equipment may include electricity tariff meters and primary
over current protection devices.
CENELEC Directives
The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage directive 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic
compatibility directive 2014/35/EU.
