Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this Extech MA435T True RMS Clamp Meter. This meter measures AC/DC Current, AC/DC Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode Test, Duty Cycle and Continuity. Special features include Thermocouple Temperature and Non-Contact Voltage detection. The double molded case is designed for heavy duty use. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
SAFETY NOTES Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function. Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected. Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use. Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.
