Note: functions are equipped with low pass filter, and are capable of dealing with (Variable Frequency Drives) signals. It also improves reading stability in noisy electrical environments. Inputs are made through the test lead terminals Press the jaw trigger and clamp the jaws around conductor(s) of only one single pole of a circuit for load current measurement s. Make sure the jaws are completely closed, or else it will introduce measurement errors. Enclosi ng conductor(s) of more than one pole of a circuit may result in differential current (like identifying leakage current) measurements. Align the conductor(s) to the Jaws center indicators (Regular or Eshop: www.emareg.cz Email:...

Adjacent current carrying devices such as transformers, motors and conductor wires may affect measurement accuracy. Keep the jaws away from them as much as possible to minimize influence. This Clampon meter series is designed to directly apply around or remove from uninsulated hazardous live conductors. But still, individual protective equipment must be used if hazardous live parts in the installation where measurement is to be carried out co uld be accessible. Do not use the meter to measure currents above the rated frequency (400Hz). C irculating currents may cause the magnetic circuits of the Jaws reach a hazardous temperature.

zero reading indicates a shorted dio de (defective). An over range display indicates an open diode (defective). Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The digital display shows over range if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is resistive or shorted (defective). When the display reading drops across 0.850V, the meter alerts a short beep to signal a reasonable forward voltage drop of common diodes. However, if the reading further drops below 0.100V, the meter gives a continuous beep tone together with flashing display backlight to indicate a shorted diode or a complete wire. It is similar to that of function but , instead, is based on voltage threshold to indicate a complete wire. Using function in a live circuit will produce false results and may damage the meter. In many cases , the suspected component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement reading.

Defaults at high sensitivity If it is too sensitive for your applications, press button momentarily to select lower sensitivity . The detected Electric Field strength is indicated as a series of bar graph segments on the display plus variable beep tones. An antenna is located along the top right end of the stationary clamp jaw , which detects electric field surrounds energized conductors. It is ideal for tracing live wiring connections, locating wiring breakage and to distin guish between live or earth connections. For more precise indication of live wires, such as distinguishing between Live and Ground connections, use one single probe to test via terminal for direct metal ProbeContact EFDetection to achieve the most distinctive indication.

The 0.1 A resolution is useful for identifying the minute current changes in flame detector applications. Flame signal current check should indicate steady flame signal of at least 2 A for a rectification type, or 1.5 A for an ultraviolet type (8 A for self checking systems).
