OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Current Measurements using the Clamp, DC/AC
WARNING: Make sure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter’s terminals before
making current measurements with the clamp jaw.
WARNING: For safety, use the rubber input terminal cover when measuring current using the
Clamp.
1. Set the Function switch to 2000A position.
2. Press the FUNC key to select AC or DC current
3. For DC current measurements, push & hold
the DCA ZERO button until the reading
indicates zero.
4. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose
the conductor to be measured (see
diagram).
5. The clamp meter will automatically select
the proper range (Auto Range). To select
the range manually, press the RANGE
button before pressing DCA ZERO button.
6. Read the measured value from the LCD
display.
NOTE: If the DCA zero button is used to zero the
meter, the clamp meter remains in the auto-range mode. If the REL button is used, the
clamp meter will be placed in the manual range mode.
Current Measurements using the Test Leads, DC/AC
1. Set the Function switch to the mA or µA position.
2. Press the FUNC key to select AC or DC.
3. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test
lead to the mA µA input jack.
4. Break the circuit under test (put the meter in series with circuit
under test) refer to diagram.
5. Read the measured value from the LCD display.
NOTE: The maximum reading for direct input current is 240mA AC/DC.
