5 Switching the meter on and off

To switch the meter on, press and hold the on/off key for three seconds. To switch the meter off

again, press and hold the key again for three seconds.

5.1 Automatic power off

If the automatic power off function is active, the meter switches itself off within 10 minutes. To

deactivate automatic power off, press and hold the key for two seconds. To reactivate

automatic power off, press and hold the key again.

Note: After restarting the meter, automatic power off is reactivated.

6 Making a measurement

To make a measurement, remove the measuring clamp from the meter and unwind the cable

completely. Clamp the current clamp around the cable to be measured. Pay attention to the

direction of current flow. This is marked on the current clamp. Only one cable must be in the

current clamp at a time. If there are more than one, the measured values may be incorrect. The

measured value is displayed directly.

Important: No measurement must be carried out on uninsulated lines.

6.1 Carry out zeroing

Before the measurement is made, the measured value should be zeroed to prevent an incorrect

measured value from being displayed. The cable should not be connected during this.

To perform zeroing, press and hold the "ZERO" key for two seconds until "ZERO" lights up once

briefly on the display. The measured value is now zeroed

Note: Zeroing does not increase the measurement range. When zeroing, the current clamp must

not be wrapped around a test lead.

6.2 Freeze measured value

To freeze the displayed reading, press and hold the HOLD key for two seconds. “HOLD" appears

on the display. To resumethe measurement, press and hold the HOLD key againfor two seconds.

7 Torch

To activate the torch, press the key for two seconds. To deactivate the torch, press and

hold the key again for two seconds.

8 Replace / insert batteries

If the batteryvoltage is too low, the batteries must be replaced with new ones. Otherwise, incorrect

measurements may occur.

To replace or insert the batteries, first switch off the meter and disconnect the clamp from the test

lead. Then open the battery compartment on the back. Insert new batteries and close the battery

compartment again. The measuring device can now be used again.

9 Contact

If you have any questions, suggestions or technical problems, please do not hesitate to contact

us. You will find the relevant contact information at the end of this user manual.

10 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament

applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.

They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use

them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with

your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
