I. Overview

GCM-407 is a portable, true 6000 count, auto range

clamp ammeter with a simulation bar. Featuring a

large scale integrated circuit, Σ/∆ analog-digital

converter, full-function on-screen display, full-range

overload protection and a unique design has given

this specific clamp ammeter superior performance.

The clamp ammeter is applicable to the following

measurements: AC/DC voltage, AC current,

resistance, diode, continuity, capacitance,

data-hold, maximum/minimum value measurement,

relative value measurement, flashlight function,

VFC function, NCV function, under-voltage display

and an automatic shutdown function.

The instruction manual includes relevant safety

information and warning indicators. Please read

them carefully and strictly observe all warnings and

notes.

Warning:

Prior to using the clamp meter, please read the

relevant "Safety operation guidelines" carefully.

II. Open-case Inspection

3.Carrying case

If anything is missing or damaged, please contact

your GW Instek distributor. If the instrument is not

used in an appropriate manner the safety protec-

tions could be impaired. The unit can be used for

MAINS measurements up to CATII 1000V or CATIII

600V according to IEC 61010-031.

61010-2-032.

This product has been tested to the requirements

of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, second edition,

including Amendment 1.

CAT II: Applicable to test and measurement circuits

connected directly to utilization points (socket

outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS

installation.

CAT III: Applicable to the test and measurement

circuits connected to the distribution part of the

building’s low-voltage MAINS installation.

1. Check the clamp ammeter and test leads before

use. Refrain from using the clamp if the clamp is

damaged in anyway.

1 2

8. When the LCD display shows the icon, “ ”, it

indicates that the battery should be replaced to

ensure the measurement accuracy. Take out the

battery from the clamp meter when the meter

has not been used for a long time.

9. Refrain from altering the internal wiring of the

clamp meter to prevent damage to the meter or

harm to the operator.

10.Refrain from storing or using the clamp meter in

the environments with explosive elements,

flammables, high temperatures, high humidity or

strong electromagnetic fields.

11.Clean the clamp meter case with a soft cloth and

neutral detergents. Do not use abrasive

materials or solvents to prevent corroding the

case, damage to the instrument and to prevent

danger to the operator.

Do not use the clamp meter if the test lead

insulation is damaged, if the case insulation is

damaged, if the LCD is not functioning or if the

clamp meter is not functioning properly.

2. Do not use the clamp meter if the rear cover or

battery cover is not in place. Failure to do so

may cause electric shock.

3. Keep fingers behind the finger guard. Do not

touch any bare wires, conductors, unused input

terminals, or circuits that are being measured

when the clamp meter is in operation.

4. Make sure the function switch is in the correct

position prior to measurement. Do not change

ranges when using the clamp meter to prevent

damaging the meter.

5. Refrain from applying more than DC1000V/

AC750V to the clamp meter to prevent electric

shock to the user and damage to the clamp

meter.

6. Be careful when measuring RMS voltages

greater than 30DCV or 30ACV as electric shock

can occur.

7. Do not measure voltages or current higher than

the allowable input values. Set the function

range switch to the highest range possible if the

magnitude of the measured value is not known.

Before measuring resistors, diodes or continuity

in a circuit, the circuit should be powered down

and all capacitors in the circuit should be

completely discharged or the measurement

results could be inaccurate.

IX. Measurement Operation Instructions

1. AC Current Measurement (see Figure 3)

1) Set the switch to AC current mode and press the

trigger to open the clamp head. Position the

conductor in the clamp head and slowly release

the trigger until the clamp head is completely

closed. Be sure the conductor is clamped to the

center of the clamp head, otherwise additional

errors may be introducted. Only one current

conductor should be measured at a time.

Measuring two or more current conductors may

result in erroneous measurement readings.

2) Read the AC value directly from the display.

Note:

• Be sure the conductor to be measured is

clamped at the center of the clamp head, if not,

an additional reading error of ±1.0% may result.

GCM-407 User Manual GCM-407 User Manual

• The true RMS AC current meaurement accuracy

is based on sinusoidual waveforms. For

non-sinusoidal waveforms, adjust the accuracy

as follows:

Crest factor 1.4 ~ 2.0: additional ±1.0%

Crest factor 2.0 ~ 2.5: additional ±2.5%

Crest factor 2.5 ~ 3.0: additional ±4.0%

2. AC Voltage Measurement (see Figure 4)

1) Insert the red test lead in the “V” input jack and

the black test lead in the “COM” input jack.

2) Rotate the function dial to the AC voltage

measurement function and connect the test leads in

parallel to the load to be measured.

3) Read the AC voltage from the display.

Note:

• Do not input voltages greater than AC 750V.

Higher voltages may damage the meter.

• Be aware that higher voltages can cause electric

shock.

• After all measurement operations are completed,

disconnect the test leads from the EUT.

• When the measured voltage is greater than the

safety voltage of 30VAC, the LCD will display a

high voltage warning prompt, “ ”. When

voltages greater than the AC 750V range are

input, the meter warning prompt, “ ”, will flash

and the meter will automatically buzz intermit-

tently.
