3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Correct knowledge of electric measurements is essential to avoid
unexpected danger such as operator's injury or damage to the
instrument. Read carefully and observe the following precautions for
safety measurements.
3-1. WARNINGS
WARNING 1. Checks of Clamp Meter Body
Before measurement, confirm the body of this instrument has no
cracks or any other damages. Dust, grease and moisture must be
removed.
WARNING 2. Warning for High Power Line Measurements
High Power Line (High Energy Circuits) such as Distribution
Transformers, Bus Bars and Large Motors are very dangerous. For
safety of high power line measurement, do not touch the live line and
keep enough distance.
WARNING 3. Maximum Input Observance
Do not measure any current that might exceed the specified
maximum input values.

1. INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Read INSTRUCTION MANUAL carefully to understand the
specification and functions correctly. 「3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS」
is higly important for safety measurement.
2. BATTERY
Before using this instrument, install 2 of 1.5V R6P (AA) batteries
refering to 「6-1. BATTERY REPLACEMENT」. Replace them in
the same way when "BAT" lights up on LCD.

indicatable value of each measurement range (4050 digits or 2050
digits).
4. AUTO POWER OFF

FUNCTION Switch to "OFF".)
To cancel it (40A/200A range only) : Hold down DH Key and set
FUNCTION Switch from "OFF" to "40A/200A". Auto power off is
canceled and "APO" disappears from LCD.
NOTE : Auto power off cannot be canceled in 4000mA range.
5. POWER-ON INITIALIZE
Automatic zero-adjustment function to adjust LCD indications into
0±1 digit when powered on.
NOTE :
INITIALIZE does not work properly if some inputs are
applied.
NOTE :
Do not touch trigger when turning on the power.
INITIALIZE does not work correctly if any pressure is
applied to trigger or clamp head is opened.
