DCM267 – DIGITAL CLAMP METER

1. Introduction

Thank you for buying the DCM267 ! This device enables the user to measure DC & AC

voltages, AC current, resistance, temperatures and frequency. You can also test diodes and

continuity.

2. Safety

The DCM267 has been designed in accordance with IEC1010-1 and IEC1010-2-032 concerning

safety requirements for electrical measuring instruments and hand-held current clamps with an

overvoltage category (CATII) and pollution 2.

Safety Symbols

The DCM267 complies with the requirements of the following EC-directives : 89/336/EEC

(concerning electromagnetic compatibility) and 73/23/EEC (concerning low voltage) as

amended by 93/68/EEC (concerning CE-labelling).

Radio interference or powerful electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the equipment may

influence the measurements. Just like all other electrical measuring instruments, the DCM267

will respond to unwanted signals (e.g. transients) that may occur in the circuit being tested.

Exercise extreme caution when using this device and avoid misleading.

Safety Precautions

Respect the following safety instructions to ensure maximum personal safety and to keep the

device itself in good working order :

• Prior to use, the operator should always inspect the device and the test leads for damage.

Refrain from using the device if it is not in perfect working order (e.g. damaged housing,

broken test leads, malfunctioning display).

• Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures or moisture.

• Never ground yourself when executing electrical measurements. Do not touch metal pipes,

outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential. Protect yourself by wearing dry

clothing and rubber-soled shoes. Put a rubber mat or approved insulating material under your

feet.

• Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages in excess of 60VDC or 30 Vrms AC.

Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers while using the device.

• Never use the device to measure voltages that (may) exceed the max. input value for a

particular function.

• Never touch wiring, connections or live circuits while the device is in use.

3. Maintenance

• Disconnect all test leads from energised circuits prior to opening the housing.

• Do not use the device unless the cover is in place and securely fastened.

• Do not apply abrasives or solvents to the meter. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent for

cleaning purposes.

• Only qualified technicians should attempt to repair or calibrate this device.

• If you insist on calibrating the instrument yourself, you should only do so in the presence of a

qualified technician.

resistance being measured exceeds the max. value of the selected range.

 Disconnect the circuit to be tested and make sure that all capacitors have been fully

discharged before measuring the in-circuit resistance.

 The meter may need a few seconds to produce a stable reading for resistance

measurements in excess of 1MΩ.
