Clamp Meter SAFETY INFORMATION Do not operate the tester if there is any sign of damage to the tester or the test leads. Check the main function dial and make sure it is in the correct position before each measurement. Do not perform resistance and continuity tests on a live power system.
Center 265 True RMS Leakage Current Clamp Meter Power Source: 1.5V size AAA battery X 2 Typical battery Life: (without buzzer, backlight) 40 hours at AC mA and ACA and ACV function; 60 hours at DCV and Ohm function. (Alkaline battery) Auto Power Off: If there is no key or dial operation for 30 minutes, the meter will power itself off to save battery life.

Clamp Meter 6. MEASURING INSTRUCTION 6-1 AC A and AC mA measurement: Set the range selector switch to the desired position. The current to be measured should be within the selected measuring range. Normal measurement (see Fig.1): Press the jaw trigger to open the clampmeter jaws and close them over one conductor only.
Center 265 True RMS Leakage Current Clamp Meter Fig.2 Measuring out of balance leakage current: 3-Phase 3-Wire system Single-Phase 2-Wire system 6-2 AC V Measurement: : WARNING! Maximum Input Voltage is 600V AC/DC. Do not attempt to Take any voltage measurement that may exceed this maximum to avoid Electrical shock hazard and/or damage to this instrument.
Clamp Meter 6-3 DC V Measurement: : Switch main function selector to range. Connect the red test lead to the “ + ” terminal and black lead to the “COM”terminal. Measure voltage touching the test lead tips to the test circuit where the value of voltage is needed.
Center 265 True RMS Leakage Current Clamp Meter 6-5 Resistance Measurement Switch the main function to range. Connect the red test lead to the “+”terminal and the black lead to the "COM" terminal. Connect tip of the test leads to the points where the value of the resistance is to be measured.
Clamp Meter 8. MAINTENANCE WARNING! Before opening the meter, disconnect both test leads. Never use the meter unless the battery cover is in place and the screw is tightened. CAUTION! To avoid contamination or static damage, do not touch the circuit board without proper static protection.
