NOTICES
: Read and understand all
warning
and
precaution
statements listed in the safety
section of this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF
position when the meter is not in use.
AC/DC Current Measurements
WARNING:
Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before
making current clamp measurements.
1.
Set the Function switch to the
600 or 400A
range. If the range of the
measured is not known, select the higher range first then move to the lower
range if necessary.
2.
Select AC or DC with the AC/DC button. Press the zero button to zero the
meter in the DCA mode only.
3.
Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose one conductor to be measured.
4.
The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.
AC/DC Voltage Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
terminal and the red test
lead into the positive
V
terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the V position.
3. Select AC or DC with the AC/DC button.
4. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
5. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.
Resistance and Continuity Measurements
1.
Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
terminal and the red test
lead into the positive terminal.
2.
Set the function switch to the •)))
CAP position.
3.
Use the multifunction button to select resistance.
4.
Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test. It is best to disconnect
one side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance
reading.
5.
For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the LCD display.
6.
For Continuity tests, if the resistance is < 30
, a tone will sound.
