INtRoDUCtIoN The ACDC-400 Clamp-on meter is an average responding autoranging 400 Amp / 600 V clamp meter. The features include AC / DC voltage, AC / DC current, Resistance, and Continuity tests. This instrument’s display also contains an analog bar graph.
Select the proper Range using the R-h button before enabling the Zero feature. This function will not autorange. MAX / MIN button The MAx Min feature reads and updates the display to store and show the maximum or minimum value measured after you press the MAx Min button. pressing the MAx Min button for less than 1 second will put the meter into a mode of displaying the maximum, minimum, or actual readings.
The current measured will be displayed. DC Current measurement (See fig. 6) Select ‘ �A’ position. if the display doesn’t read zero, press the ZeRo button. if the current flow is over 40A, press R-h button to select 400A range before zeroing operation.
battery Replacement (see fig. 9) � Warning to prevent electrical shock or meter damage, disconnect the meter’s test leads from any circuit and the meter, then turn the meter off before removing the battery cover. battery replacement should be performed in a clean environment and with appropriate care taken to avoid contaminating the meter’s interior components.
