○Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories) To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as O to CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
2.Features ● Tear-drop-shaped jaws for ease of use in crowded cable areas and other tight places. ● Accurate true-RMS reading of AC current or voltage with distorted waveform. ●Average function for easy reading of input with large variation. ●Auto-null function for easy zero adjustment. ●Provides frequency reading in AC current or voltage measurement.

*Effective Value (RMS) Most alternating currents and voltages are expressed in effective values, which are also referred to as RMS (Root-Mean-Square) values. The effective value is the square root of the average of square of alternating current or voltage values. Many clamp meters using a conventional rectifying circuit have "RMS"...

⑧Terminal Cover Slides over V/Ω and COM Terminals to prevent access to them when OUTPUT terminal is in use. ⑨OUTPUT Terminal(For AC or DC current range only) Provides DC voltage output in proportion to the AC or DC current reading.
5.Preparation for Measurement 5-1 Checking Battery Voltage ① Set the function selector switch to any position other than "OFF". ② When the display is clear without "BATT" showing, proceed to measurement. ③ When the display blanks or "BATT" is indicated, replace the battery according to section 8.
6.Measurement 6-1 DC Current Measurement DANGER ● Do not make measurement on a circuit above 1000VDC. This may cause shock hazard or damage to the instrument or equipment under test. ● Do not make measurement with the battery compartment cover removed from the instrument.
NOTE ● During current measurement, keep the transformer jaws fully closed. Otherwise, accurate measurement cannot be made. The maximum measurable conductor size is approx. 55mm in diameter. ● When the current flows from the upside (the display side) to the underside of the instrument, the reading is indicated positive.
① Set the function selector switch to the " ∼ A" position. “AC" should be shown on the upper left corner of the display. ② Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp them onto a single conductor and take the reading on the display. The most accurate reading will be obtained by keeping the conductor at the center of the transformer jaws.
① Set the function selector switch to the " V" position. “DC" should be shown on the upper left corner of the display. ② Slide the terminal cover to the left to disclose the V/Ω and COM terminals. Plug the red test lead into the V/Ω terminal and the black test lead into COM terminal.
③ Connect the tip of the red and black test leads to the circuit under test and take the reading on the display. NOTE ● When the voltage under test measures 3% of the range or less, or the frequency of the voltage is low, "LoHz" is indicated on the display.
6-6 Continuity Check (400Ω range fixed) ※ The continuity check mode is enabled by pressing the mode selector switch on resistance range. " " is indicated on the display to show the instrument in the continuity check mode. The buzzer beeps, if the resistance under test is 20.0Ω or less. ...
DANGER ● Never use the instrument on a high voltage circuit above 750VAC. This may cause electrical shock hazard and damage to the instrument or the circuit under test. ● Do not make measurement with the battery compartment cover removed.

DANGER ●Never use the instrument on a circuit above 750VAC/1000VDC. This may cause electrical shock hazard and damage to the instrument or the circuit under test. ● Do not make measurement with the battery compartment cover removed. ● Do not make measurement with the test leads plugged into the instrument.
NOTE ● In the PEAK mode, the auto-ranging feature is disabled and measuring ranges are fixed as follows. DC/ACA: 0-400.0A DC/ACV: 0-400.0A ● When a measured value is 9 counts or less, it is corrected to 0 ● The Auto-power-off function is disabled in the PEAK mode as well.
7.Other Functions 7-1 Auto-power-off Function CAUTION ● The instrument consumes small amount of battery power in the Auto-power-off mode. Make sure to set the function selector switch to the OFF position after use. This is a function to prevent the instrument from being left powered on in order to conserve battery life.
NOTE ● If the instrument in the Data Hold mode goes into "Auto-power- off," it will return to the normal mode. 7-3 LoHz Function In ACV or ACA range, if frequency of the voltage or current under test is 40Hz or lower, the display indicates "LoHz". "LoHz"...

② Slide the terminal cover to the right to disclose the OUTPUT terminal and insert the output plug into the terminal. Make connection to the recording device. ③ When the plug is inserted into the output terminal, auto-range function is cleared. Set the range depending on the state of Data Hold Switch.
Page 29
● Consult the output voltage specifications shown in section 3 and adjust the sensitivity of the recording device. ● For long hours of use of the OUTPUT terminal, use an Alkaline battery, which will extend continuous recording time up to about 35 hours.
8.Battery Replacement WARNING ● To avoid electric shock hazard, make sure to set the function selector switch to "OFF" and remove the test leads from the instrument before trying to replace battery. CAUTION ●Do not mix new and old battery. ●...
①Set the function selector switch to the " ∼ A" position . ② As shown in the figure below, clamp KEW SNAP 2009R onto the pickup coil of MODEL 8008. ③Clamp MODEL 8008 onto the bus-bar or conductor under test.
