Page 12: Operating Instructions
When stable, push the Zero button to ensure accurate readings. Zeroing the meter removes DC R5055 offset from the measurement reading. Note: The Zero function works only when the dial is set to the DC current measurement position. -
Page 13: Ac/Dc Voltage Measurements
Press and hold the Hz/INRUSH button for 2 seconds to enter the Inrush current measurement mode. Turn on the device under test. The LCD will display the reading. NOTE: Inrush current is the highest AC current (True RMS) within 100ms of start time, as shown below. -
Page 14: Low Pass Filter (Lpf) Acv Measurement
Low Pass Filter (LPF) ACV Measurement While in AC voltage measurement mode, press and hold the SELECT button to enter the LPF ACV measurement mode. NOTE: Low Pass Filter can measure combined sine wave signals produced by inverters and variable frequency drives, as shown below. 2. -
Page 15: Resistance Measurement
Resistance Measurement NOTE: Remove power before making resistance measurements. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V terminal. Set the rotary function to the position. Press the SELECT button to switch to resistance measurement mode (Ω). -
Page 16: Capacitance Measurement
The LCD will display the reading. Forward voltage will indicate 0.5V to 0.8V. Reverse voltage will be indicated by "OL". Shorted devices will indicate near 0mV and an open device will be indicated by "OL" in both polarities. Black Black Probe Probe Probe... -
Page 17: Contact Temperature Measurement
Contact Temperature Measurement To avoid electric shock, before taking a contact temperature measurement disconnect both test probes from any source of voltage. Set the rotary function to the °C/°F position. Insert the included Temperature Probe into the negative COM and the positive V terminals, making sure to observe the correct polarity. -
Page 18: Auto And Manual Range
Auto and Manual Range When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Auto Ranging mode. This automatically selects the best range for the measurement being made and is generally the best mode for most applications. For applications that require a manual range to be set, perform the following: Press the RANGE button. -
Page 19: Max/Min Measurement
MAX/MIN Measurement Press the MAX/MIN button to select the maximum reading as indicated by the "MAX" symbol. The Max value is updated when a new maximum data value has been attained. Press the MAX/MIN button again to select the minimum reading as indicated by the "MIN"... -

Page 21: Ac Current Frequency Measurement With Flexible Probe
Turn on the flexible probe by setting the required current range. NOTE: When measuring current, center the conductor in the flexible current Probe. If possible, avoid taking R5055 measurements close to other R5065 Flex Clamp Current Probe current-carrying conductors. 1000A AC/DC Clamp Meter Set the rotary function switch to position. -
Page 22: Inrush Ac Current Measurement
Inrush AC Current Measurement Insert the flexible current probe into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V terminal. Connect the probe's flexible tubing around the conductor under test. If you are opening the end of the flexible probe to make the connection, be sure to close and lock it back into place. -
