ENGLISH GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Klein Tools CL390 is an automatically ranging true root mean square (TRMS) digital clamp meter that measures AC/DC current via the clamp, AC/DC voltage, DC microamps, resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance, tests diodes via test-leads, and temperature via a thermocouple probe. It features a high visibility, reverse contrast LCD display that optimizes viewability both in dark or bright ambient lighting.

WARNINGS • Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the category based rating of this meter. • Do not use the meter during electrical storms or in wet weather. • Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged. •...
FUNCTION BUTTONS ON/OFF To power ON the meter, rotate the Function Selector switch from the OFF setting to any measurement setting. To power OFF the meter, rotate the Function Selector switch to the OFF setting. The Auto- Power Off icon will be visible in the display.
ENGLISH FUNCTION BUTTONS MAX/MIN The "MAX/MIN" function can be used when measuring with voltage, current, resistance, temperature, and DC A functions. When the "MAX/MIN" button is pressed, the meter keeps track of the Maximum and Minimum values, and the difference between the Maximum and Minimum values while continuing to take samples.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING TEST LEADS Do not test if leads are improperly seated. Results could cause intermittent display readings. To ensure proper connection, firmly press leads into the input jack completely. INCORRECT CORRECT TESTING IN CAT III MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use the CATIII / CATIV shield increases arc-flash risk.

ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AC/DC CURRENT (LESS THAN 400A) AC Current is measured by pressing the clamp trigger to open the clamp and placing it around a current-carrying wire. When measuring, care should be taken to ensure that the clamp is completely closed with trigger fully released, and that the wire passes perpendicularly through the center of the clamp in line with the arrow markings...

ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUITY 1. Insert RED test lead into V µA jack , and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the Continuity/Resistance/Capacitance/Diode-Test setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Continuity testing in this mode. Ensure that the Continuity Testing icon is visible on the display.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS 1. Insert RED test lead into V µA jack , and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the Continuity/Resistance/Capacitance/Diode-Test setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Continuity testing in this mode. Press the "SEL/NCV"...

ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAPACITANCE 1. Insert RED test lead into V µA jack , and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the Continuity/Resistance/Capacitance/Diode-Test setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Continuity testing in this mode. To measure capacitance, press the "SEL/NCV"...
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DIODE TEST 1. Insert RED test lead into V µA jack , and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the Continuity/Resistance/Capacitance/Diode-Test setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Continuity testing in this mode. Press the "SEL/NCV"...
ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FREQUENCY / DUTY-CYCLE 1. Insert RED test lead into V µA jack and BLACK test lead into COM jack , and rotate function selector switch to the Frequency/Duty-Cycle setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to Frequency testing in this mode. To enter Duty-Cycle testing mode, press the "SEL/NCV"...
MAINTENANCE BATTERY REPLACEMENT When indicator is displayed on LCD, batteries must be replaced. 1. Loosen captive screw and remove battery cover. 2. Replace 3 x AAA batteries (note proper polarity). 3. Replace battery cover and fasten screw securely. Replace battery cover and fasten screw securely. To avoid risk of electric shock, disconnect leads from any voltage source before removing battery door.
