SAFETY INFORMATION

The Meter complies with:

• UL/IEC/EN 61010-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1-12,

Pollution Degree 2, Measurement Category III 600 V

• IEC/EN 61010-2-032, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-2-032-12

• EMC IEC/EN 61326-1

Measurement Category III (CAT III) refers to measurements

of hard-wired equipment in ﬁxed installations, distribution

boards, and circuit breakers. Also includes cables, bus

bars, junction boxes, switches, socket outlets in the ﬁxed

installation, and stationary motors with permanent

connections to ﬁxed installations.

CENELEC Directives

The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage

directive 2006/95/EC and Electromagnetic compatibility

directive 2004/108/EC.

W Warning: Read Before Using

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

• Use the Meter only as speciﬁed in this manual or the

protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.

• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.

• Do not use the Meter in wet or dirty environments.

• Do not use the Meter if it appears damaged. Inspect

the Meter before use. Look for cracks or missing

plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation

around the connectors.

• Have the Meter serviced only by qualiﬁed service

personnel.

• Use extreme caution when working around bare

conductors or bus bars. Contact with the conductor

could result in electric shock.

• Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile

barrier.

• When measuring current, center the conductor in the

clamp.

• Never operate the Meter with the battery cover

removed or the case open.

• Never remove the battery cover or open the case of

the Meter without ﬁrst removing the jaws from a live

conductor.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V

AC rms, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC. These voltages pose

a shock hazard.

• Do not attempt to measure any voltage that might

exceed the maximum range of the Meter.

• Use the proper function for your measurements.

• Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas,

vapor, or dust.

• Use only 1.5 V LR44 batteries, properly installed in the

Meter case, to power the Meter.

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical

shock and injury, replace the battery as soon as the

low battery indicator (

) appears. Check Meter

operation on a known source before and after use.

• When servicing, use only speciﬁed replacement parts.

• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual

protective equipment must be used to prevent shock

and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors

are exposed.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

1 Clamp meter

2 1.5 V LR44 batteries

1 Carrying case

Caution

1. ZERO mode can be activated in DC A and

DC A of Auto DC/AC A mode only.

2. When ZERO is activated (symbol

∆ is

displayed in DC A and Auto DC A mode

only), the offset residual value will not be

reset until the Meter is turned OFF.

3. ZERO can be activated if residual value < 6

A in DC A mode, < 6 A DC and <0.1 A AC in

Auto DC/AC A mode.

HOLD Press HOLD button to freeze the display

reading (HOLD is displayed) and releases the

reading when pressed a second time.

W Warning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal

injury, when Display HOLD is activated, be

aware that the display will not change when

you apply a different current.

Measuring AC and DC Current

W Warning

To avoid electrical shock and injury:

• Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile

barrier.

• Do not use the Meter to measure currents above

the maximum rated frequency (400Hz). Circulating

currents may cause the magnetic circuits of the Jaws

reach hazardous excessive temperatures.

To measure AC or DC current:

1. Switch on the Meter by pressing

button, the

default is auto AC/DC A detection mode (AUTO is

displayed). Press

button to choose AC A or DC A.

The display reﬂects the chosen function mode.

2. Open the clamp by pressing the jaw release and insert

the conductor to be measured into the clamp. Ensure

the jaws are ﬁrmly closed.

3. Close the clamp and center the conductor using the

jaw alignment marks.

4. View the current reading on the display.

W Caution

During current measurement keep the jaws away from

other current carrying devices such as transformers,

motors or energized wires, as they may negatively

influence accuracy of the measurement.

beeper. The stronger the electric ﬁeld detected, the

more bar-graph segments are displayed and more

intense beep-sound is generated.

Data Hold

Press HOLD button to freeze the display reading (HOLD is

displayed) and releases the reading when pressed a second

time.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

If the Meter fails to operate, check battery, test leads, etc.,

and replace as necessary.

Double check the following:

1. Replace the fuse or battery if the meter does not

work.

2. Review the operating instructions for possible

mistakes in operating procedure.

Except for the replacement of the battery, repair of the

meter should be performed only by a Factory Authorized

Service Center or by other qualiﬁed instrument service

personnel.

The front panel and case can be cleaned with a mild

solution of detergent and water. Apply sparingly with a

soft cloth and allow to dry completely before using. Do

not use aromatic hydrocarbons, gasoline or chlorinated

solvents for cleaning.
