Operating instructions:

1. Connect the ACH Clamp Head

to digital multimeter V-W  and

COM terminals. (Polarity is

not important.)

2. Set the multimeter to mVAC

range.

3. Snap the jaws of the current

converter around one of the

current-carrying conductors.

Make sure the jaws are tightly

clamped.

4. Directly read the current value

(in amperes) indicated on the

display (multiply by 1000 if

using the 2V range).

5. If meter dispalays overload,

change range to next highest

(2000mVAC or 2VAC. For

2VAC range, multiply reading

by 1000.)
