SAFETY

Safety Symbols

This symbol, adjacent to another symbol or

terminal, indicates the user must refer to the

manual for further information.

This symbol, adjacent to a terminal, indicates

that, under normal use, hazardous voltages

may be present

Double insulation

WARNING: This indicates that a potentially hazardous

condition which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: This indicates that a potentially hazardous

condition which, if not avoided, could

result in injury or damage to the meter.

Safety Precautions

WARNING: Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this users

manual before operating the meter.

1. Always remove the test leads before making current measurements.

2. Always remove the test leads before replacing the batteries.

3. Inspect the condition of the jaws, test leads and the meter for any damage before operating the meter.

Repair or replace any damage before use.

4. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.

5. Use great care when making measurements especially when the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms

or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

6. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Resistance

or Continuity tests.

7. Remove the batteries from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long periods.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions

1. Ensure that the selected meter function matches the measurement to be taken.

2. If the measured current is higher than the range selected for long periods, overheating may

occur compromising the safety and the operation of the meter’s internal circuits.

3. To avoid discharge risks and erroneous readings, do not measure current on high voltage

conductors (>600V).

AC Current Measurements

WARNING: Make sure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter’s terminals before

making current measurements with the clamp jaw.

1. Set the Function switch to the Arange..

2. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose one conductor to be measured.

3. The clamp meter will automatically select the proper range (Auto Range).

4. Read the measured value from the LCD display.

DC and AC Voltage Measurements

1. Set the Function Switch to the Vposition.

2. Press the AC/DC key (directly below the HOLD key) to select AC or DC Voltage. The meter will

show the selection with an AC or DC symbol (upper left side of LCD).

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red test lead to the Vjack.

4. Connect the test leads in PARALLEL with the circuit to be measured.

5. Read the measured value from the LCD display.

Resistance and Continuity Measurements

CAUTION: Before taking any in-circuit resistance measurements, remove power from the circuit under

test and discharge all capacitors.

1. Set the Function switch to the Ωposition.

2. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red test lead to the Ωinput jack.

3. Connect test leads to the device to be measured.

4. Read the measured value from the LCD display.

5. If the resistance is < 40Ω(approx.) an audible signal will be heard.

Data Hold

Press the HOLD key momentarily to freeze the present reading on the LCD. "H" will appear in the display. Press the

HOLD key again to return to normal operation.
