⑤ Current Range Select Switch: When power switch on, the display is for Ior current (~A) measurement. By pressing this switch once, the display becomes Ior of single phase (1φ/Ior). By pressing once again, the display becomes Ior of Δ three phase ( Δ/Ior) and by pressing further once, the display becomes Ior of Y three phase (Y/Ior).
REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES WARNING △ ! POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ACCIDENT ● Do not replace the batteries under the conditions of clamping CT to the conductor and inputting voltage to the terminals. ● Do not operate the instrument with battery cover off. CAUTION △...

MEASUREMENT For the safety operation, keep and pay attention to the cautions and warnings stated in this manual. WARNING △ ! POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK ● This instrument is for the use of low voltage circuit. Do not make measurements in the circuit more than AC 600V. Before use, check and confirm the voltage of circuit to be measured.
Page 9
(2) Leakage Current Measurement 1) Measurement at grounding line Do the same method as for line current measurement. 2) Measurement for other circuit except for grounding line The operations are the same as for line current but clamp CT to 2 wires en bloc in case of single phase and 3 wires en bloc in case of 3 phase.
Page 10
WARNING △ ! Do not apply the voltage more than 500V AC to the voltage input terminals (~VINPUT). It may cause breakage POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK ● Measuring test leads are consumable articles. Confirm there is no damage at insulation coating of the wire before use. When having found unusual point, stop the use and repair or replace to the new one.

1) Press POWER switch ③ once. Display becomes Io current. 2) Set the power supply frequency to be measured by ⑦ Frequency Select Switch. 3) Insert the equipped test leads for direct input or non-contact voltage input sensor to the voltage input terminals ⑩ according to the colors of each lead. As to the operation of voltage input mode (direct input or non-contact input), Refer to “5.
