METER FUNCTIONS

DC/AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
1. Set the rotary function switch to the 1000A or 400A or 40A ranges.
a. If the range of the measured is not known,
select the higher range first then move to the
lower range if necessary.
2. Select AC or DC with the MODE button.
3. Press the trigger to open jaw and fully enclose one conductor to be measured.
4. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current clamp
measurements.
DC/AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V terminal.
2. Set the rotary function switch to the V position.
3. Select AC or DC with the MODE button.
4. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
5. Read the voltage on the display.
RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY MEASUREMENTS
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive terminal.
2. Set the rotary function switch to the
3. Select Resistance with the MODE button.
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test.
a. It is best to disconnect one side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with
the resistance reading.
5. For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the LCD display.
6. For Continuity tests, if the resistance is <100, a tone will sound.
DIODE MEASUREMENTS
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug
into the positive diode jack.
2. Set the rotary function switch to the
3. Select
with the MODE button.
4. Touch the test probe to the diode under test.
a. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V.
b. Reverse voltage will indicate "OL".
c. Shorted devices will indicate near 0mV.
d. Open devices will indicate "OL" in both polarities.
Ω position.
