Setup

inrush current

Measure inrush current of AC conductors 
carrying up to 1000 amperes�

1�  Turn the Rotary Switch to the 

 

60/600

 or  

 

1000

 position, 

depending on the amperage of 
the conductor under test�

2�  Press 

reL/inruSH

 for two or 

more seconds to switch to 

inruSH

 

current mode� 

----

 displays while the 

inrush current is being detected�

3�  Using one hand, press Trigger to 

open Current Clamp and insert 
conductor inside the jaws�

4�  Read measured inrush current 

on the Display� The current is 
only measured once and the 
reading is held on the Display�

5�  When testing is complete, turn 

Rotary Switch to 

OFF, 

and store Meter�

note:

 If the Display shows 

OL

 while in 

manual range mode, the measurement 
has exceeded the selected range� A 
higher range should be selected�

ac/Dc Voltage Measurement

Measure AC conductors carrying 
up to 750 VAC, 40-400 Hz�

Measure DC conductors 
carrying up to 1000 VDC�

WarninG!

  Use caution when working 

near voltages above 30 VAC rms, 42 
VAC peak, or 60 VDC�  Voltages this 
high present a risk of electric shock�  

1�  Plug black test lead into 

cOM

 Jack�  

Plug red test lead into 

input

 Jack�  

2�  Turn Rotary Switch to the 

 or 

 position, depending on the 

voltage of the conductor under test�

3�  Press 

Func

 button to choose 

between AC and DC voltage�

4�  Carefully touch exposed 

conductors with tips of probes� 

5�  Read measured voltage on the Display�

6�  When testing is complete, turn 

Rotary Switch to 

OFF

, remove 

Test Leads and store with Meter�  

note:

  If voltage is too high, Meter will beep�
