Press button to select AC A or DC A mode. Press button > one second to return to AUTO AC/DC A mode. Press button to enter Low Pass Filter mode (LPF is displayed). Press a second time to enter Inrush mode (INRUSH is displayed). Press again to exit the function.
Measuring AC and DC Current Warning W 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.
DC A ZERO (DC A and Auto DC/AC A mode) Press button > two second to clear DC A reading from the display and establish a baseline for DC A. Low Pass Filter Press button to activate Low Pass Filter mode (“LPF” is displayed).
INRUSH Non-Contact Voltage Detection 1. Press button to activate non-contact voltage mode is displayed). 2. The voltage detection antenna is located along the top end of the stationary clamp jaw for detecting electric field surrounding energized conductors 3. Detected electric field signal strength is indicated by a series of bar-graph segments on the display and beeper.
Data Hold Press HOLD button to freeze the display reading (HOLD is displayed) and releases the reading when pressed a second time. Warning W 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.
Disable auto power off: Press and hold button while pressing button. “AoFF” is displayed, then release button. The meter is turned ON and goes into default measurement function (auto AC/DC A). The auto power off mode resumes back when the Meter is OFF and is turned ON again.
