Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings. Do not use the clamp ammeter if it is damaged. Before you use the clamp ammeter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead first. Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test. Measurement Category The clamp ammeter has a safety rating of 1000 V, CAT III and 600 V, CAT IV. Measurement category definition Measurement CAT I applies to measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the AC mains.

Offline Recording Function of AC/ DC Clamp Ammeter When the AC/DC clamp ammeter is used for measurement, the device APP sends a command to enable offline recording function of AC/DC clamp ammeter. After receiving the command, the AC/DC clamp ammeter is automatically disconnected, and can automatically save the measurement data in the storage area of the instrument under offline state.
Page 22
(3) In the "Start to record" interface, set the record interval and the record counts. The record counts can be set to a maximum of 10,000. After setting, click "Start to record" button. Only the single off-line recorded data can be stored in the storage area of the AC/DC clamp ammeter. Therefore, when the recording begins, the last off-line record data stored in the AC/DC clamp ammeter will be overwritten.
