*Before use, read the following safety precautions. This instruction manual explains how to use your digital clamp meter equipped with the DMM facility DCM2000DR. Before use, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure correct and safe use. After reading it, keep it together with the product for reference to it when necessary.
2. Voltages over DC 70 V or AC 33 Vrms (46.7 V peak) are hazardous to human body. Take care so as not to touch them. 3. Never input signals exceeding the maximum rated input value (see 1-3). 4. Never use the meter for measuring voltages of lines connected to equipment (e.g.

• When the button is pressed in the Peak Hold mode, light and the value displayed at that moment is held. Even the displayed value is held, the peak value continues to be updated internally so, when the button is pressed again to release the held value, the latest updated peak value is displayed.
4-10 EF (Electric Field) sensing: EF button For details, see section 5-9, “EF (Electric Field) sensing”. 4-11 Muting the buzzer Any buzzer sound can be muted by turning the power/function switch to ON button depressed. The muting of the buzzer sound while holding the is indicated by the change of the main value display from 8888 to 0000.
[5] MEASURING PROCEDURE WARNING 1. Do not apply an input signal exceeding the maximum rated value of each function. 2. During measurement, do not change the function switch. 3. During measurement, do not touch the test pin side of the barrier of the test probe or the part past the barrier of the clamp sensor.

Function Input Ranges ±DC 1.500-1000 V 6.000/60.00/600.0/1000 V AC 1.500-1000 V 6.000/60.00/600.0/1000 V 600.0/6.000 k/60.00 k/600.0 k 0.0 Ω - 10.00 MΩ Ω /6.000 M/40.00 MΩ *The accuracy-guaranteed frequencies of the measurement are from 50 to 60 Hz. ① Use the test leads for measurement. This function measures the input by automatically identifying the type from the resistance (Ω), AC voltage (ACV) and DC voltage (DCV).

Notes: • The fixed function can be selected with the button. The auto identification mode can be confirmed with [ ] lit on the main value display when there is no input signal. • When the button is pressed once while a measurement value is displayed, the current function (Ω, DCV or ACV) and range are fixed and the instrument is put to the manual range mode (...
VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) AC voltage measurement WARNING This function uses a low-pass filter to cut high frequencies. As there is a possibility that a voltage higher than the displayed value exists, first measure the voltage with to confirm that there is no hazardous voltage before selecting the function.
AC voltage measurement (ACV) Function Input Ranges 0.000 ~ 1000 V 6.000/60.00/600.0/1000 V 40.0 ~ 1999 Hz 199.9/1999 Hz ① Use the test leads for measurement. ② The frequency (Hz) input sensitivity is determined by the range being used for display. A different input sensitivity can also be selected manually by pressing the button.
DC voltage / DC voltage + AC voltage measurement (DCV/ DCV+ACV) Function Input Ranges ±0.000-1000 V 6.000/60.00/600.0/1000 V 0.000-1000 V 6.000/60.00/600.0/1000 V DCV+ACV 10.0-1999 Hz 199.9/1999 Hz *The frequency is not displayed when DCV is more than 50 % of ACV.
Current (A) measurements (ACA/DCA/DCA+ACA) CAUTION 1. To improve the measurement accuracy, position the measured conductor as close as possible to the center of the clamp sensor. 2. Always clamp around a single wire at a time. Correct current measurement is impossible if multiple wires, a cable with multiple conductors or parallel cords are clamped.

5-6-1 AC current measurement (ACA) Function Input Ranges 0.0-2000 A 200.0/2000 A 20.0-400 Hz 199.9/1999 Hz *The accuracy-guaranteed frequencies of this measurement are from 40 to 400 Hz. ① Press the button so that lights. ② Open the clamp sensor, position the wire to be measured and close the clamp sensor completely.
5-6-3 DC current + AC current measurement (DCA+ACA) Function Input Ranges DCA + ACA 0.0-2000 A 200.0/2000 A 20.0-400 Hz 199.9/1999 Hz *The frequency is not displayed when DCV is more than 50 % of ACV. ① Press the button so that both light.
Capacitance measurement / Diode test ( WARNING Never apply an external voltage to the measurement terminals. CAUTION 1. Discharge the measured capacitor before measurement. 2. Since this instrument measures the capacitance by applying current to the measured capacitor, it is not suitable for measuring a capacitor with high leak current such as an electrolytic capacitor.
5-9 EF (Electric Field ) sensing CAUTION 1. Before EF sensing, check the operation of the instrument using a known power source. 2. During EF sensing, do not hold the instrument by a position beyond the barrier. 3. Even when no voltage is sensed, this does not always mean that no voltage exists because a voltage below the sensing threshold may exist.
If any of the above problems exists, stop using the meter and request for repair. 6-2 Calibration and Inspection For more information, please contact Sanwa’s authorized agent / distribute service provider, listed in our website. See section 7-3. 6-3 Storage CAUTION 1.
6-4 Battery Replacement Batteries when the meter is shipped: A battery for monitoring has been installed prior to shipment from the factory.
