Electric Field EF-Detection
The meter displays “EF” when it is ready. Signal strength is indicated as a series of bar-
graph
segments on the display together with variable beep tones.

Non-Contact EF-Detection: An
antenna is located along the top-
right end of the stationary clamp
jaw, which detects electric field
surrounds energized conductors.
It is ideal for tracing live wiring
connections,
locating
wiring
breakage
and
to
distinguish
between
live
or
earth
connections.
●
Probe-Contact EF-Detection: For
more precise indication of live
wires, such as distinguishing
between
Live
and
Ground
connections, use one single probe
to test via terminal COM for direct
contact

CAUTION & WARNING for Non-Invasive (Clamp-on) Current Measurements:
CAUTION
(Application and Removal of the Clamp-on Jaws) For non-invasive current measurements,
press the jaw trigger and clamp the jaws around conductor(s) of only one single pole of a
circuit for load current measurement. Make sure the jaws are completely closed, or else it
will introduce measurement errors. Enclosing conductor(s) of more than one pole of a
circuit may result in differential current (like identifying leakage current) measurement.
Align the conductor(s) to the Jaws center indicators (Regular or amptip™ indicators where
applicable) as much as possible to get the best measuring accuracy. For removal, press
the jaw trigger and remove the jaws from the conductor(s).
Adjacent current-carrying devices such as transformers, motors and conductor wires may
affect measurement accuracy. Keep the jaws away from them as much as possible to
minimize influence.
WARNING
Do not use the meter to measure currents above the rated frequency (400Hz). Circulating
currents may cause the magnetic circuits of the Jaws reach a hazardous temperature.
