Accessories Two R6P batteries ● Instruction manual Carrying case Model 9098 Optional Accessories Clamp Adaptor Model 8008 ● *Effective Value (RMS) Most alternating currents and voltages are expressed in effective values, which are also referred to as RMS (Root-Mean-Square) values. The effective value is the square root of the average of square of alternating current or voltage values.
5.Preparation for Measurement 5-1 Checking Battery Voltage (1) Set the range switch to any position other than "OFF". (2) When the display is clear without "BATT" showing, proceed to measurement. (3) When the display blanks or "BATT" is indicated, replace the batteries according to section 8: battery replacement. NOTE ●The sleep feature automatically turns the instrument off in a certain period of time after the last switch operation. Therefore, the display may be blank with the range switch set to a position other than "OFF". To operate the instrument in this case, set the switch back to ...
6.Measurement Current Measurement WARNING ●Do not make measurement on a circuit above 750V AC. This may cause shock hazard or damage to the instrument or equipment under test. ● The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips are not insulated.
NOTE ● During current measurement, keep the transformer jaws fully closed. Otherwise, accurate measurement cannot be made. The maximum measurable conductor size is 54.5mm in diameter. ● When measuring high value currents, the transformer jaws may buzz. This is not a fault and does not affect the accuracy. 6-2 Peak Current Measurement (1) Set the range switch to the "〜400A" or "〜2000A" position. (2) Press the mode button to select the peak mode. "PEAK" will be shown on the display.
7.Notes on Functions 7-1 Data Hold This function can be used to freeze the measured value on the display. (1) Press the data hold button. The reading becomes frozen and the "H" symbol is shown on the display, indicating the instrument is in the data hold mode. (2) To exit the data hold mode, press the data hold button again to release it. NOTE ● When the range switch is turned while the instrument is in the data hold mode, the data hold function remains activated. To make measurement ...
[ How to Exit the Sleep Mode ] (1) Turning the range switch from "OFF" to another position with the data hold switch pressed disables the sleep function and "P.OFF" is shown on the display (power hold). This enables continuous use of the instrument. (2) To enable the sleep function, turn the range switch back to "OFF", then to any other position. NOTE ● The instrument consumes a small amount of current in the sleep mode. When the instrument is not in use, make sure to set the range switch to "OFF". 7-3 Mode Switching Function On a AC current ("〜400A" or "〜2000A") range, press the mode switch ...
8.Battery Replacement WARNING ●To avoid electric shock hazard, make sure to set the range switch to "OFF" before trying to replace batteries. CAUTION ●Do not mix new and old batteries. ●Make sure to install batteries in correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment.
9.Optional Accessories Clamp Adaptor MODEL 8008 extends MODEL 2016R's capability, allowing measurement up to 3000A or on a large bus-bar or conductor. (1)Set the range switch to "〜400A". (2)As shown in the figure below, clamp MODEL 2016R onto the pickup coil of MODEL 8008. (3)Clamp MODEL 8008 onto the bus-bar or conductor under test.
