CAUTION ● Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme temperatures or dew fall. ● Be sure to set the function selector switch to the “OFF” position after use. When the instrument will not be use for a long period of time, place it in storage after removing the battery.
2.Features KEW 2413R is a unique digital clamp meter for both very low current and high current measurements. Its shielded transformers jaws minimizes the effect of external stray magnetic field, enabling leakage current measurements. ● Measures from 0.1mA to 1000A AC and provides frequency response higher than 1kHz on all measuring ranges.

“ ” is displayed on the lower right side for low battery warning and “1” is displayed only at the highest digit for overrange indication. ② Data Hold Button Allows for easy reading in dimly lit or hard-to-reach-locations. The display can be observed away from the conductor after pushing in the button.
5.Operation 5- 1 Preparation (1) To Check battery set the function/range switch ⑤ To the desired position. If the display is clear without symbol “ ” showing, battery voltage is sufficient. If the display blanks or “ ” is indicated, replace the battery in accordance with the battery replacement procedures as described in section 6.

CAUTION ● Transformers jaws , especially their tips, have been precisely adjusted to obtain maximum accuracy. Take sufficient care to avoid shock, vibration or excessive force when handing the instrument. ● When a foreign substance is stick in the jaw tips or they cannot properly engage, the transformer jaws do not fully close.

(3) Slide the peak hold switch back to the OFF position for a reset. Note 1: KEW 2413R uses an analogue peak hold circuit to ensure a quick response to input current. Because of the nature of this circuit, the peak hold reading may gradually fall or, in a rare case, rise with time.
Page 17
Note 2: If it is necessary to read the display away from the conductor in a peak hold measurement, press the data hold switch ② first and then remove the instrument from the conductor. Otherwise, the peak hold reading may be higher than the actual value due to the electrical noise caused by the opening and closing of the transformer jaws.
Peak hold function, but this is not a malfunction. 5- 4 How to Use The Frequency Selector Switch KEW 2413R has a very good frequency response because of the electromagnetic property of its transformers jaws. Therefore, it measured, AC current not only of fundamental frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz, but of high frequencies and harmonics superimposed on the fundamental frequency.
Note: Selection with the frequency selector switch dose not apply to AC output of the two-way analogue output. DC output of the two-way analogue output reflects the frequency selector switch setting. Refer to Figure. 1 for frequency characteristics. 5- 5 How to Use Data Hold Function Push in the Data Hold button to freeze the reading.
See Figure 8. With the 2413R in the peak hold mode, DC voltage corresponding to 1/ √ 2 of a peak current value can be held and output. Refer to section 5-3, How to Use Peak Hold Function. KEW 2413R — 18 —...
6.Battery Replacement ”symbol appears on the LCD. Replace the battery when“ (1) Set the function/range switch to the OFF position. (2) Unscrew and remove the battery compartment cover from the rear of the case. (3) Install a new 9V battery of type 6F22 or equivalent observing correct polarity.
7.Cleaning Use a damp cloth detergent for cleaning the body of the instrument. To avoid possible deforming or discoloring, do not use solutions containing solvent. CAUTION ● Never use paint thinner, benzene or other solutions containing solvent for cleaning the instrument. Otherwise, deforming or discoloring of the instrument body may result.
8.Before Sending for Repair Use the following troubleshooting guide for hints on problems with instrument operation. Condition Possible Cause Remedy Display blanks after power- B a t t e r y i s i m p r o p e r l y Install the battery correctly.
