OPERATING INSTRUCTIONAC CLAMP METER
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 •)))
Ω
position.
3.
Use the multifunction MODE 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 < 100
Ω
, a tone will sound.
Diode Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack
and the red test lead banana plug into the positive diode jack.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the •))) position.
3. Press the MODE button until “ “ appears in the display.
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will
indicate 0.4V to 0.7V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted
devices will indicate near 0mV and an open device will indicate
“OL” in both polarities.
Capacitance Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit
under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the
line cords.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the cap position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM)
jack.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.
4. Read the capacitance value in the display
Frequency or % duty cycle measurements
1. Set the rotary function switch to the “Hz/%” position.
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack
and the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.
3. Select Hz or % duty with the Hz/% button.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
5.
Read the frequency on the display.
Temperature Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes
from any source of voltage before making a temperature
measurement.
1.
Set the function switch to TEMP.
2. Insert
the
Temperature Probe into the negative (COM) and the
V jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3. Select
°
C or
°
F with the MODE button.
4.
Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose
temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the part
under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
5.
Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading will
indicate the proper decimal point and value.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has
been removed before changing to another measurement function
Data Hold
To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the data hold button. The
data hold button is located on the left side of the meter (top button).
While data hold is active, the DH display icon appears on the LCD.
Press the data hold button again to return to normal operation.
