The 61-760 series contains parts that can be damaged by static discharge. Follow the standard practices for handling static sensitive devices. For additional information about IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. and its products, and services, visit IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. web site at: www.idealindustries.com Precautions and Safety Information Use the meter only as described in the Users Manual.
Page 2 High Voltage Warning (HI-V): The meter beeps and lights an LED when >30V AC/DC voltage is present through test leads of the meter. This enhanced safety feature alerts the user that dangerous voltage is present across the leads even if the meter is set on an incorrect function or range. Notes: This feature does not work through the clamp head as the clamp is intended to only measure current.

Calibration Procedure (cont’d) A AC Calibration: 61-764 (Refer to Figure 1B), 61-766 (Refer to Figure 2B) (Adjustments made under front panel label.) Set the function / range to the 660A AC. Set output of the AC calibrator for 10.00A/60Hz +/- 0.01% and connect it to Coil = 10N = 100.0A Clamp the jaws to the coil = 10N.
Page 11 Battery Replacement (Refer to Figure 4) 1. Disconnect the test leads from any circuit under test and turn off meter. 2. Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the screws on battery cover. 3. Remove battery from the battery compartment. 4.
