Introduction Thank you for purchasing your REED R5020 AC Clamp Meter. Please read the following instructions carefully before using your instrument. By following the steps outlined in this manual your meter will provide years of reliable service. Product Quality This product has been manufactured in an ISO9001 facility and has been calibrated during the manufacturing process to meet stated product specifications.
• Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for a long period of time. • Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing diode, resistance, or continuity tests. • Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts.

Operating Instructions Connecting the Test Leads Connect the red test lead to the VΩ Input Jack and the black test lead to the COM Input Jack. AC Current Measurements Warning: Disconnect the test leads before making clamp measurements. Set the rotary switch to the 400 or 40A range.
Resistance Measurements Set the rotary switch to the Ω position. Connect the test leads to the meter (see Connecting the Test Leads section for details). Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test as shown. Note: It is best to disconnect one side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the reading.
Capacitance Measurements To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. Set the rotary function switch to the CAP position. Connect the test leads to the meter (see Connecting the Test Leads section for details).
Non-Contact AC Voltage Measurements Set the rotary function switch any measurement position. Place the tip of the meter to the hot conductor under test or the hot side of the electrical outlet. If AC voltage is present, the detector will light up. Note: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted.
Battery Replacement Remove the 2x Phillips head screws that secure the battery cover. Remove the battery cover. Replace the 2 x AAA batteries. Properly secure the cover and tighten the screws. Applications Industrial maintenance teams performing scheduled and preventative maintenance on electro-mechanical equipment and systems. Facilities, building maintenance and electricians looking to troubleshoot electrical equipment installation problems.
