ENGLISH GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Klein Tools CL320 is an automatically ranging true root mean square (TRMS) digital clamp meter that measures AC current via the clamp, AC/DC voltage, DC microamps, resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance, and tests diodes via test-leads, and temperature via a thermocouple probe.
WARNINGS To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death. • Before each use verify meter operation by measuring a known voltage or current. • Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the category based rating of this meter.

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.
