Using the Amp Klamp
To use the Amp Klamp, follow these instructions:
Connect the test leads of the Klamp probe to the terminals of the 88E
Multimeter.
Insert the black test lead to “COM” terminal and the red test lead to
“V/Ω/Hz” terminal.
Turn the selector knob on the 88E multimeter to the mV (millivolt)
range.
Hit to select AC; push SELECT button on 88E.
Position the Klamp jaw perpendicular to and centered around the
conductor to be measured.
Read the measured value from the 88E LCD display.
Example for using multimeter with the CP09 AC Current Clamp-on
Adapter
Current Clamp Sensitivity = 1mV/A. Multimeter displays 100.0mV.
Actual current – display value / sensitivity Current Clamp =
100.0mV/1mV/A=100.0A
EXAMPLE:
When measuring AC current to transformer in a 24Vac circuit,
multimeter reads 0.03 mV, actual reading is 0.03 Amps.
