Meter Operation

5

WARNING

Do not use the meter to measure current above the rated frequency. This may cause the
magnetic circuits in the jaws to reach hazardous temperatures.

WARNING

Disconnect the test leads from the meter before taking Clamp measurements.

Clamp Measurement Considerations

• Press the jaw trigger to open the jaws and then clamp around the conduc-

tor(s) of only one pole of a circuit.

• Ensure that the jaws are completely closed. Enclosing conductor(s) of

more than one pole of a circuit may result in differential current
measurements.

• Align the conductor(s) to the jaws center indicators as closely as possible.
• Adjacent current-carrying devices such as transformers, motors and con-

ductor wires may affect measurement accuracy.

Basic Current Clamp Measurement

Taking Current Clamp Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the Ampere position
