Clamp Meter SAFETY INFORMATION Do not operate the tester if the body of meter or the test lead look broken. Check the main function dial and make sure it is at the correct position before each measurement. Do not perform resistance and continuity test on a live power system. Do not apply voltage between the test terminals and test terminal to ground that exceed the maximum limit record in this manual.

Clamp Meter Power Source: 1.5V size AAA battery X 2 Typical battery Life: (without buzzer, backlight, flashlight function) Type: 30 hours at ACA function; 60 hours at ACV function; 100 hours at DCV and Ohm function. Auto Power Off: If there is no key or dial operation for 30 minutes, the meter will power itself off to save battery consumption.

Clamp Meter 6. MEASURING INSTRUCTION 6-1 ACA Measurement: With the clamp disconnected from any conductor, switch the function selector to range. Open the clamp by pressing the jaw-opening handle and insert the Cable to be measured into the jaw. Close the clamp and get the reading from the LCD panel. Note: Before this measurement, disconnect any test lead with the meter for safety.
