• Ohms, Continuity and Diode Test * • Max RMS (surge) and Data Hold • Analogue outputs for recoder, logger or oscilloscope * LH40 series only (LH240, LH1040, LH2040) The LH series of instruments conform to the latest international directives and standards concerning safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
The main operating features of the instrument are as follows. See Fig. 1. (1) Clamp-on jaws for current measurement (2) Jaw opening lever (3) Rotary switch for function selection (4) Push button switch for MAX/ ) selection. MAX holds the maximum RMS value when in the current or volts mode.

Move the rotary switch to Amps AC, DC or DCRMS*. • Wait until the autozero operation has completed and the display reads 00.00 (LH240), 000.0 (LH1040, LH2040, LH2015) to within ±3 digits. • Press the trigger to open the jaws and clamp them around the current carrying conductor as shown in Fig.
SAFETY WARNING To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the instrument, do not attempt to measure any voltage that might exceed the maximum range of the instrument - 600Vrms and 1kHz. • Move the rotary switch to the V DC or V AC position.
If the analogue output lead is connected to a hand held oscilloscope, then the maximum working voltage that may be connected to any of the other oscilloscope inputs must be less than 300V RMS to Earth. • Located in the battery compartment is a slide switch, which selects either the instantaneous or RMS analogue output.
Safe operation of the instrument is the responsibility of the operator who must be suitably qualified and/or authorised. Maximum Safe Voltage Current :- 600V MAXIMUM AC RMS or DC between uninsulated conductor and ground and maximum frequency of 1kHz. This limitation applies to bare conductors only.
