Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Model 382075 Auto Range Power Clamp-On Meter. Careful use of this device, will provide years of reliable service. Meter Functional Description 1. Transformer Jaw Used to sense current signal. To measure current or power, Figure 1 the conductor under test must be fully enclosed by the jaw.
www.burntec.com Operating Instructions NOTE: Ensure that the jaws are clear of any conductors before applying power to the meter. The meter performs an auto zero upon power-up to null any residual magnetism. If this is done with a conductor inside the jaw area, the auto zero function will cause subsequent measurements to be inaccurate.
www.burntec.com AC/DC Current Measurements Current (A) + Frequency (Hz) Dual Display WARNING: 1. When applying power to the meter, make sure the clamp jaws are not near a conductor. 2. Make sure that test leads are disconnected from the meter during current measurements. 1.

CAPACITIVE LOAD: A positive phase angle indicates that the current signal leads the voltage signal. A positive phase angle also indicates a capacitive load. NOTE: The "+"...

www.burntec.com Phase Sequence Indication (for Power Factor > 0.1) In the 3φ balanced power mode the meter will automatically detect the phase relationship between three individual phases. 1. Set the rotary switch to the 3φ position. 2. Connect the voltage input (red terminal) to the ‘R’ (or L1) phase, connect the COM input (black terminal) to the ‘S’...
