Measuring Method

 

For the safety operation keep and pay attention to the cautions and warnings stated in 

this manual. 

 DC Current (DCA    ) Measurement

 

1) Set the range switch 

  from OFF to 40A or 400A

2) Set AC/DC switch 

 to DC

3) At the time of DC current measurement make “0”

adjustment by ADJ switch before measurement.

4) Open clamp jaw and clamp CT to the conductor to

be measured and close CT completely (Set the

conductor to be located in the center position 
  of CT). 

5) Read the displayed value. (In case of over range, the

display will show “OL”).

6) In the place where can hardly read the display, use

The Data Hold 

.

7) After the measurement, set the range switch 

 to OFF.

  AC Current (ACA

) Measurement

 

1) Set the range switch 

  from OFF to 40A or 400A

2) Set AC/DC switch 

 to AC

3) Open clamp jaw and clamp CT to the conductor to be measured and close CT

completely (Set the conductor to be located in the center position of CT).

4) Read the displayed value. (In case of over range, the display will show “OL”).
5) In the place where can hardly read the display, use the Data Hold Switch 

.

6) After the measurement, set the range switch to OFF.

 DC Voltage (   V) Measurement

 

1) Set the range switch 

 to V.

2) Set AC/DC switch 

 to DC

3) Insert test probe to the input terminal.

4) Apply the test probe to the part to be measured.
5) Read the displayed value.

6) After the measurement, set the range switch to OFF.

  AC Voltage (

V) Measurement

 

1) Set the range switch 

 to V.

2) Set AC/DC switch 

 to AC

3) Insert test probe to the input terminal.

4) Apply the test probe to the part to be measured.

5) Read the displayed value.
6) After the measurement, set the range switch to OFF.

 Resistance (

Ω

) Measurement

 

1) Set the range switch 

 to 

Ω

.

2) Apply the test probe to the part to be measured.
3) Read the displayed value.

4) After the measurement, set the range switch to OFF.
