I. Overview
The UT201+, UT202+, and UT202A+ are true RMS AC clamp meters.
They are designed according to EN61010-1 and CAT II 600V/
CAT III 300V safety standards. These meters come with full-featured
protection which ensures users a safe and reliable measurement
experience. Aside from all the normal features of AC clamp meter,
these meters also include high voltage frequency measurement, fast
capacitance measurement, audio visual NCV detection, and plenty
of additional safety features. UT202A+ also comes with live/neutral
wire detection.

1.Before use, please check if there is any item which is damaged or
behaving abnormally. If any abnormal item (such as bare test lead,
damaged meter casing, broken LCD, etc.) is found, or if the meter
is considered to be malfunctioning, please do not use the meter.
2.Do not use the meter if the rear cover or the battery cover is not
covered up, or it will pose a shock hazard!
3.When using the meter, keep fingers behind the finger guards of the
test leads, and do not touch exposed wires, connectors, unused
inputs, or circuits being measured to prevent electric shock.
4.The function switch should be placed in the correct position before
measurement. It is forbidden to change the position during
measurement to avoid damage to the meter!
5.Do not apply voltage over 600V between any meter terminal and
earth ground to prevent electric shock or damage to the meter.
6. Be cautious when the measured voltage is higher than 60V (DC)
or 30Vrms (AC) to avoid electric shock!
7.Never input voltage or current which exceeds the specified limit. If
the range of the measured value is unknown, the maximum range
should be selected.
8.Before measuring the resistance, diode and continuity online, switch
off the power supply of the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors
to avoid inaccurate measurement.
9.When the " " symbol appears on the LCD, please replace the batteries
in time to ensure measurement accuracy. If the meter is not in use for a
long time, please remove the batteries.
10.Do not change the internal circuit of the meter to avoid damage to the
meter and user!
11.Do not use or store the meter in high temperature, high humidity, flammable,
explosive or strong magnetic field environments.
12.Clean the meter casing with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents!

In the composite function position, press this button to switch between the
corresponding measurement functions; in the AC/DC/Hz position (UT202+/
UT202A+), short press this button to switch between the AC and DC
functions, and long press (about 2s) this button to enter/exit the Hz
measurement function.

IX. Operating Instructions
1.AC Current/Current Frequency Measurement (Picture 2)
1) Select the AC current range (4A/6A, 40A/60A or 400A/600A)
2) Press the trigger to open the clamp jaws, and fully enclose one conductor.
3) Only one conductor can be measured at a time, otherwise the
measurement reading will be wrong.
Note:
• The current measurement must be taken within 0°C~40°C. Do not
suddenly release the trigger, as the impact will change the reading
for a short time.
• To ensure measurement accuracy , center the conductor in the jaws.
Otherwise, ±1.0% additional error in reading will be produced.
• When the measured current is ≥400A (UT201+/UT202+)/ 600A
(UT202A+), the meter will automatically sound an alarm and the
high voltage alarm prompt "
• If the LCD displays "OL", it indicates that the current is over range
and there is a danger of damage to the meter.
2.AC/DC Voltage and Voltage Frequency Measurement (Picture 3)
1) Insert the red test lead into the "
the " COM " jack.
2) Turn the function switch to the AC/DC voltage position, and connect
the test leads with the measured load or power supply in parallel.
Note:
• Do not input voltage above 600V. Although it is possible to measure
higher voltage, it may damage the meter.
• Be cautious to avoid electric shock when measuring high voltage.
• When the measured voltage is ≥30V (AC) or ≥60V (DC), the LCD
will display the high voltage alarm prompt "
3.Resistance Measurement (Picture 4)
1) Insert the red test lead into the "
the " COM " jack.
≤
2) Turn the function switch to the "Ω" position, press the SELECT
button to select resistance measurement, and connect the test
≤

• If the measured resistor is open or the resistance exceeds the
8
maximum range, the LCD will display "OL".
• Before measuring the resistance online, switch of f the power supply
9
10 of the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors to avoid inaccurate
Picture 1 measurement.
• If the resistance is not less than 0.5Ω when the test leads are
short-circuited, please check the test leads for looseness or other
abnormalities.
• Do not input voltage higher than 30V to avoid personal injury.
4.Continuity Test (Picture 4)
1) Insert the red test lead into the "
the " " jack.
2) Turn the function switch to the "
button to select continuity measurement, and connect the test leads
with both ends of the measured load in parallel.
3) Measured resistance <10Ω: The circuit is in good conduction status;
the buzzer beeps continuously. Measured resistance >31Ω: The
buzzer makes no sound.
Note:
• Before measuring the continuity online, switch off the power supply
of the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors.
• Do not input voltage higher than 30V to avoid personal injury.
5. Diode Test (Picture 4)
1) Insert the red test lead into the "
the " COM " jack. The polarity of the red test lead is "+" and that
of the black test lead is "-".
2) Turn the function switch to the "
button to select diode measurement, and connect the test leads
with the positive and negative poles of the measured diode.
3) 0.08V ≤ reading <1.2V: The buzzer makes one beep indicating
the normality of the diode. Reading <0.08V: The buzzer beeps
continuously indicating the damage of the diode. For the silicon
PN junction, the normal value is generally about 500~800 mV.
Note:
• If the diode is open or its polarity is reversed, the LCD will display
"OL".
• Before measuring the diode online, switch off the power supply of
the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors.
• Do not input voltage higher than 30V to avoid personal injury.
