Thank you for choosing the Extech Model MA3110 Flexible AC Clamp meter with automatic ranging, data hold, and auto power OFF. The MA3110 is a professional CAT III 1000V instrument that measures up to 3000A AC RMS. The MA3110 also measures DC and AC Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Diode, and Continuity (beeper).
De-energize the installation under test or wear suitable protective clothing when placing or removing the flexible current probe from a test setup. Do not apply/remove the flexible current probe to/from UNINSULATED HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors that may cause electric shock, electric burn, or arc flash. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...

Press the H (HOLD) button with the meter ON to freeze the displayed reading. The H icon will appear along with the held reading. Press the H (HOLD) button again to release the HOLD feature. The H icon will switch OFF and the meter will show real time readings. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
Press the M (MODE) button to select AC or DC voltage. Press the test leads across the circuit under test and read the voltage on the display. In the Auto Range mode, the meter will automatically select the optimal range. AC voltage measurements are True RMS readings. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
Re-lock the clamp turning the clamp lock clockwise. Switch power to the device under test ON. Never move fingers above the LCD when running a test. Read the current value in the display. The meter will automatically select the appropriate range (600.0A and 3000A). MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
Press the M (Mode) button to select resistance mode. Press the test leads across the circuit under test and read the resistance on the display. In the Auto Range mode, the meter will automatically select the optimal range. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
Press the M (Mode) button to select continuity mode. The display will show “MANU” icon (Manual Range mode). Press the test leads across the circuit under test. The meter will beep and the display will show the continuity symbol when the resistance is < 20 ohms. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
When connected as shown in test position 2 a reverse polarity check is made. If the diode under test is good, ‘OL’ will be displayed. If the diode is defective ‘0.000’ or other values will be displayed. Proper diode testing should include both polarity measurements. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
Press the M (Mode) button to select the capacitance Press the test leads across the circuit under test and read the capacitance on the display. In the Auto Range mode, the meter will automatically select the optimal range. MA3110-en-GB_V1.0 12/16...
