2. Press SELECT button to choose measurement function: AC V, DC V, DC+AC V, Hz or EF(Non contact voltage detection). The display reflects the chosen function mode. For Model AMP-210 and AMP-220, NCV(EF) function is designed in an independent rotary switch position. See the Non-Contact Voltage Detection chapter for details.
Voltage Detection (NCV) Non-Contact Voltage Detection: 1. For AMP-210 and AMP-220 turn the rotary switch to NCV(EF). “EF” is displayed. For AMP-310 and AMP-320, turn the rotary function switch . press SELECT button to toggle to NCV(EF) mode (“EF” is displayed).
Measuring AC and DC Current Warning W To avoid electrical shock and injury: • Remove Test Leads before making current measurements. • Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier. • Do not use the Meter to measure currents above the maximum rated frequency (400Hz).
Caution During current measurement keep the jaws away from other current- carrying devices such as transformers, motors or energized wires, as they may negatively influence accuracy of the measurement. Precise Low-Current Measurement W Warning To avoid electrical shock and injury: • Remove Test Leads before making current measurements.
Caution During current measurement keep the jaws away from other current- carrying devices such as transformers, motors or energized wires, as they may negatively influence accuracy of the measurement. Microamps μA Measurement The μA DC ( ) function on the Meter is primarily for HVAC flame sensor testing.
Measuring Resistance, Continuity and Diode W Warning • To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, de- energize the circuit before taking the measurement. • To avoid electrical shock when testing resistance/continuity/diode in a circuit, make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are discharged.
Measuring Capacitance and Temperature Warning W To avoid electrical shock and injury: • When testing capacitor in a circuit, make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are discharged. • When measuring temperature, DO NOT apply the temperature probe to any live conductive parts.
Measuring & 3-Phase Rotation Measurement is made through the Meter’s terminals L1/L2/L3. Phase Rotation directions are indicated as symbolic (LCD segments) movements on the display. Default mode at . Press SELECT button to toggle between modes. : Hi-sensitivity mode for checking phase rotation of Motors detects relatively low signal outputs generated spinning a motor shaft,.
Normal mode for the MAINS circuit: Connect the test lead L1/L2/L3 to the 3-phase mains circuit by using probes and/or alligator clips. If the meter indicates a clockwise movement, the phases connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the meter are L1, L2 and L3 (also known as R, S and T), respectively.
