    INTRoDUCTIoN The ACDC-100 and ACDC-100 TRMS Clamp-on meters are 1000 Amp / 600 V clamp meters with 50 mm jaw opening for industrial applications. The features include large conductor size and in-rush current measurement along with AC / DC voltage, AC / DC current, Resistance, Continuity and Diode Tests.

  • Page 8: Hold

    HoLD press the HoLD button momentarily toggles to hold mode for all of the functions. To release the HoLD feature momentarily press the HoLD button. press the HoLD button for 1 second or more activates the MAX holD feature for the VDC, VAC and ACA functions.

  • Page 9: Ac Current

    AC Current (see fig. 2) Set the function Switch to A � position. Select AC current using the SeleCT button. 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.

  • Page 10: Capacitance

    Turn off power to the circuit being measured. free at least one end of the diode from the circuit. Connect the test probes across the diode noting polarity. Read the display. A good diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.6 V. An open or reverse biased diode will read .0L.
