DANGER
Never make measurement on a circuit in which
●
voltage over AC600V exists.
Do not attempt to make measurement in the
●
presence of flammable gasses. Otherwise, the
use of the instrument may cause sparking,
which can lead to an explosion.
Transformer jaw tips are designed not to short
●
the circuit under test. If equipment under test
has exposed conductive parts, however, extra
precaution should be taken to minimize the
possibility of shorting.
Never attempt to use the instrument if its
●
surface or your hand is wet.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of
●
any measuring range.
Never open the Battery cover during a
●
measurement.
The instrument is to be used only in its intended
●
applications or conditions. Otherwise, safety
functions equipped with the instrument doesn
'
work, and instrument damage or serious personal
injury may be caused.
WARNING
Never attempt to make measurement if any
●
abnormal conditions, such as broken case
and exposed metal parts are found on the
instrument.
Do not rotate the Function Switch while the
●
test leads are being connected.
Do not install substitute parts or make any
●
modification to the instrument. For repair or
re-calibration, return the instrument to your
local distributor from where it was purchased.
Do not try to replace the batteries if the
●
surface of the instrument is wet.
Disconnect all the cords and cables from the
●
object under test and power off the instrument
before opening the Battery Cover for Battery
replacement.
Verify proper operation on a known source
●
before use or taking action as a result of the
indication of the instrument.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment
●
such as insulating gloves, Insulating boots, and
safety glasses.

4. Preparation for measurement
4-1. Checking Battery Voltage
Set the Function Switch to any position other than
"
" . When the display is clear without "
" mark,
OFF
BATT
showing, battery voltage is enough. When the display
is blank or
"
" mark is indicated, replace the
BATT
batteries according to Section 7, Battery Replacement.
CAUTION
The Sleep feature automatically powers the
instrument off in about 15 min after the last
switch or key operation. Therefore, the display
may be blank even with the Function Switch set
to a position other than "
" . To operate the
OFF
instrument in this case, turn the switch back to
the "
" position, then to any other position,
OFF
or press any key. Replace the batteries if nothing
was displayed after above operations.
4-2. Checking Switch Setting & Operation
Confirm the Function Switch is set to the correct
position, the instrument is set to the correct
measurement mode,
and the Data hold function is disabled. Otherwise,
desired measurement cannot be made.
CAUTION
Set the Function Switch to an appropriate
●
position before starting measurement.
Firmly insert the test leads.
●
Disconnect the test leads from the instrument
●
for current measurement.
Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun,
●
high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
Altitude 2000m or less. Appropriate operating
●
temperature is within 0
and 40
.
℃
℃
This instrument isn
t dust & water proofed. Keep
●
'
away from dust and water.
Be sure to power off the instrument after use.
●
When the instrument will not be in use for a
long period, place it in storage after removing
the batteries.
Use a cloth dipped in water or neutral
●
detergent for cleaning the instrument. Do not
use abrasives or solvents.
Measurement Category
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.
: Circuits which are not directly connected
O
to the mains power supply.
: Electrical circuits of equipment connected
CAT II
to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
t
: Primary electrical circuits of the
CAT III
equipment connected directly to the
distribution panel, and feeders from the
distribution panel to outlets.
: The circuit from the service drop to the
CAT IV
service entrance, and to the power meter
and primary over-current protection device
(distribution panel).
O: Device which is
not directly
connected to the
mains power supply
5. Measurement
5-1. AC Current Measurement
DANGER
Never make measurement on a circuit in which
●
voltage over AC600V exists to avoid getting
electrical shock.
Transformer jaw tips are designed not to short
●
the circuit under test. If equipment under test
has exposed conductive parts, however, extra
precaution should be taken to minimize the
possibility of shorting.
Do not make measurement with the Battery
●
Cover removed.
Disconnect the test leads from the instrument for
●
current measurement.
(1) Set the Function Switch to "
600A
position. (on KEW2040, only "600A" is available)
AC has been selected by default; press the SELECT
key, when DC has been selected, to change it to
AC. AC mark is displayed at the upper left on the
display. (KEW2055 only)
(2) Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and
clamp them onto the one conductor under test, then
take the reading on the display. Pressing the "
" Key switches the indication in following
DUTY
sequence.
AC Current ⇨ Hz ⇨ DUTY
Function requires 60A or more at AC600A
Hz/DUTY
Range and 350A or more at AC1000A range.
CAUTION
Max conductor size for KEW2040 is approx dia.
●
33mm and for KEW2055 is approx dia. 40mm.
During current measurement, keep the trans
former jaws fully closed. Other wise, accurate
measurements cannot be taken.
Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier
●
during measurement.
5-2. DC Current Measurement (KEW2055 only)
DANGER
Never make measurement on a circuit in which
●
voltage over DC600V exists to avoid getting
electrical shock.
Do not make measurement with the Battery
●
Cover removed.
(1) Set the Function Switch to "
600A
position. AC has been selected by default; press
the SELECT key, when AC has been selected, to
change it to DC.
