SAFETY INFORMATION
The meters comply with:
IEC/EN 61010-1 3rd Edition Pollution Degree 2, Measurement Category IV 600V
and Measurement Category III 1000V
IEC/EN 61010-2-030
IEC/EN 61010-031 for test leads
EMC IEC/EN 61326-1
Measurement Category IV (CAT IV) is for measurements performed at the
source of the low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and
measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control
units.
3
Measurement Category III (CAT III) is for measurements performed in the
building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards,
circuit- breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,
socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use
and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.
WARNING: Read before using
• To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these
instructions and use the Meter only as specified in this manual.
• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the
Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
• Always use the proper function and range for measurements.
• Before rotating the function range selection switch, disconnect test
probe from circuit under test.
• Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring on a known voltage source.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between
the test probe or between any test probe and earth ground.
• Use the Meter with caution for voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak,
or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose electrical shock hazards.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
testing resistance.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

AM-555-EUR also features dual input temperature measurement, a low-
impedance function to detect stray voltage, and a low pass filter to accurately
take measurements on variable frequency drives. Safety rated to CAT IV 600V
and CAT III 1000V for use in the most demanding applications.
• Measurements: AC/DC Voltage up to 1000V, ac/dc current, Resistance,
Frequency, Capacitance, Temperature, duty cycle.
• Current measurements up to 10 A, 20 A for up to 30 seconds
• Special Functions:
- Low Z - to detect “ghost” voltages
- Low pass filter for variable frequency drives
- Non-contact Voltage detection
- Audible continuity
- Diode test
• Dual reading backlight LC Display with analog bargraph
• Events:

MAKING MEASUREMENT
1. Use the proper function and range for measurements.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury or damages to the
Meter, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance and diode.
3. Connecting test leads:
• Connect the common (COM) test lead to the circuit before connecting
the live lead;
• After measurement, remove live lead before removing the common
(COM) test lead from the circuit
4. Symbol “OL” is displayed on LCD when the measurement is out of range.
