INSTRUCTION MANUAL# CAUTION●MULTI-TRAN

MODEL 8008
１．Safety Warnings
This instrument has been designed and tested to CAT.Ⅲ 300V/CAT.Ⅱ 600Vand pollution degree 2 specified by the international safety standard IEC
61010.
This instruction manual contains warnings and safety rules which must beobserved by the user to ensure safe operation of the instrument and retain it insafe condition. Therefore, read through these operating instructions before
using the instrument.
● The symbol # indicated on the instrument means that the user must refer torelated parts in the manual for safe operation of the instrument. Be sure tocarefully read the instructions following each # symbol in this manual.
● This instrument cannot be used for leakage current measurement.
●# DANGER is reserved for conditions and actions that are likely to cause
serious or fatal injury.

#WARNING is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause serious or

fatal injury.
# CAUTION is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause minor
injury or instrument damage.

# DANGER

Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme temperatures ordew fall.

○Following symbols are used on the instrument and in the instruction manual.
Attention should be paid to each symbol to ensure your safety.
Refer to the instructions in the manual.
# This symbol is marked where the user must refer to the instruction manual
so as not to cause personal injury or instrument damage.
 Indicates an instrument with double or reinforced insulation.
Indicates that this instrument can clamp on bare conductors when measuring
a voltage corresponding to the applicable Measurement category, which ismarked next to this symbol.
 Indicates AC (Alternating Current).

○ Measurement Category
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010 establishes
safety standards for various electrical environ-ments, categorized as O to CAT.
IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspondto electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring
instrument designed for CAT.III environments can endure greater momentaryenergy than one designed for CAT.II.
OCAT.II
CAT.III
CAT.IV

Never make measurement on a circuit above 600V AC.
Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gasses,
fumes, vapor or dust.
Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead toan explosion.
● Transformer jaw tips are designed not to short the circuit under test. If
equipment under test has exposed conductive parts, however,extra
precaution should be taken to minimize the possibility of shorting.
● Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
● Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement range.
● As to current measurement of more than 1000A, do not make measurement
continuously.
The main unit is heated, so there is danger which damages safety.

: Circuits which are not directly connected to the mains power supply.
: Electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet by apower cord.
: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly to thedistribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power
meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).

Socket# WARNING

Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions arenoted, such as broken case, cracked test leads and exposed metal parts.
● Do not install substitute parts of make any modification to the instrument.
Return the instrument to your distributor for repair or re-calibration.
● Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier during measurement.

２．FEATURES●MODEL 8008 are designed to increase the measuring capability of your clamp
meters. With the use of the MULTI-TRAN, you can not only extend current
ranges, but clamp on a conductor of a larger diameter.
