Alternating Current Audible tone Complies with EU Underwriters > directives Laboratories, Inc. Introduction The AC68C is a true rms digital clampmeter that measures both AC and DC current as well as AC and DC voltage, Resistance, Frequency, Continuity and Diode Test.
Warnings and Precautions The AC68C Digital Clampmeter conforms to EN61010-2-032, EN61010-1, CAT III- 600V, class 2 and pollution deg. 2; and UL3111-1. It is recommended for use with local level power distribution, appliances, portable equipment, etc., where only smaller transient overvoltages may occur, and not for primary supply lines, overhead lines, and cable systems.
Peak Hold Button: Toggles on and off. Captures the maximum peak value of a current or voltage surge (motor start-up). “PEAK” is shown on LCD. Data Hold Button: Toggles on and off. Holds reading for all functions and ranges. Always release HOLD before taking a new measurement.
AC Current Measurement Set the function/range selector to the appropriate A B position (400 or 600 A). Open spring-loaded clamp by pressing the lever on left side of meter. Position clamp around one wire or conductor and release the clamp lever. Make sure that the clamp is entirely closed.
Resistance Measurement Warning Before taking any in-circuit resistance measurement, remove power from the circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors. Set the function/range selector to the 4 kΩ position. Connect the black lead to the COM terminal and red lead to the “VΩ”...
Data Hold Proceed as for voltage or current measurement (AC or DC). While taking a measurement, press the HOLD button. “HOLD” is shown on the display and the current meter reading is maintained, even after disconnecting the test leads from the circuit or removing the conductor from the clamp.
P > Safety: Meets EN61010-1 Cat III 600V. EN61010-2-03, UL3111- 1, CSA22.2, No 1010-1 EMC: Meets EN55011, EN61000-4-2,4 EMC: This product complies with requirements of the following European Community Directives: 89/336/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 73/23/EEC (Low Voltage) as amended by 93/68/EEC (CE Marking).
Battery Replacement WARNING To avoid electrical, shock remove the test leads from both the meter and the test circuit before accessing the battery. Replace the battery as soon as the low-battery symbol is displayed. Set the function/range switch to OFF and remove the test leads.
