• When using the voltage test leads, keep your fingers away from the probe
contacts. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Use caution when measuring above 60V-dc or 30V-ac rms. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
AC Current Probe Safety Guidelines
Follow these safety guidelines when using the AC Current Probe:
•
Never use the 80i-500s current probe on circuits rated higher than
600V. Use extreme caution when clamping the current probe around un-
insulated conductors or bus bars.
• Keep your fingers behind the finger guard on the 80i-500s.
• Check the magnetic mating surfaces of the probe jaws; these should be
free of dirt, dust, rust, or other foreign matter.
• Do not use a current probe that has been cracked or damaged or has de-
fective leads. If there is any such sign of impaired operation, tape the
probe shut to prevent operation.
• The 80i-500s has been designed and tested according to IEC 1010-1:1992
and other safety standards. Follow all warnings to ensure safe operation.
