Information about the device
Device description
Using the clamp meterBE40 you can easily measure the
amperage of alternating currents, ACand DCvoltages as well as
resistances.
Furthermore, you can check the continuity of circuits, fuses and
contacts and test the forward voltage of diodes without the need
for contact.
The current measurement is effected without contact via the
electromagnetic field, which is why the electric circuit doesn't
have to be interrupted for this method. Therefore, running
systems, which cannot be switched off separately, can also be
checked.
Owing to the galvanic isolation, the measuring signal is also
potential-free towards the variable to be measured.

Operation
Inserting the batteries
Insert the batteries contained in the scope of delivery (2x 1.5V
AAA) before first use.
Note
Make sure that the surface of the device is dry and the
device is switched off.
Please proceed as follows to insert the batteries into the device:
1. Loosen the screw at the rear of the device and open the
cover of the battery compartment.
