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 Beha-Amprobe approved cables and accessories only.
Safety precautions
In many instances, dangerous levels of voltage and/or current may be present. Therefore, it
is important to avoid direct contact with any uninsulated voltage/current carrying surfaces.
Insulated gloves and protective clothing should be worn in hazardous voltage areas.
• Do not measure voltage or current in wet, damp or dusty places.
• Do not measure voltage in the 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, such as unused terminals and circuits.
• Do not use the instrument if it appears to be malfunctioning (i.e. if you notice
deformations, breaks, leakage of substances, absence of messages on the display, etc).
