Clamp Meter 

 

 

9

 

6-4  DCV Measurement

 

Switch the main function 
selector to   range. 
Connect red test lead to 

+

terminal and black one 

to the 

COM

terminal. 

Measure the voltage by touch 
the test lead tips to the test 
circuit where the value of 
voltage is needed. 
Read the result from the LCD 
panel. 
 

 
 

6-5  Continuity Test With Buzzer

 

Switch the main function to  

    range. 

Connect red test lead to

+

terminal and black one to the 

COM

terminal. 

Connect tip of the test leads to the points where the conduction 
condition needed. 
If the resistance is under 100

, the beeper will sound continuously.
