WARNING

 Never attempt to make any measurement, if any abnormal 

conditions are noted, such as broken case, cracked test leads 

or Clamp Sensor Cable and exposed metal parts or internal 

wiring.

 Do not turn the Function Selector Switch while the test leads 

are connected to the circuit under test.

 Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to 

the instrument. Return the instrument to Kyoritsu or your 

distributor for repair or re-calibration.

 Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the 

instrument is wet.

 Always disconnect the clamp sensor and the test leads 

from the circuit under test and switch off the instrument 

before opening the battery compartment cover for battery 

replacement.

 A cap is provided on the tip of a test lead. Use a test lead with 

the cap on for safety.

 Stop using the test lead if the outer jacket is damaged and the 

inner metal or color jacket is exposed.

CAUTION

 Make sure that the Function Selector Switch is set to an 

appropriate position before making measurement.

 Always make sure to place the test leads in the holster before 

making current measurement.

 Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme 

temperatures or dew fall.

 This instrument isn't dust & water proofed. Keep away from 

dust and water.

 Be sure to set the Function Selector Switch to the "OFF" 

position after use. When the instrument will not be used for 

a long period of time, place it in storage after removing the 

batteries.

 Use a damp cloth and detergent for cleaning the instrument. 

Do not use abrasives or solvents.

 Keep your fingers and hands behind the protective fingerguard 

during measurement.

other tight places

 Permits current measurement with an open current-clamp sensor 

that does not require opening and closing operations by the user

True-RMS measurements ACV and ACA. 

Auto-power-save function

Buzzer for easy continuity checking

Data hold function to freeze the readings

LCD with a bar graph

Shock absorbing holster for ease of storage

 Designed to international safety standard IEC61010-1: over-voltage 

category CAT III 300V, CAT II 600V and pollution degree 2.

[ Effective Value (RMS) ]

 Most alternating currents and voltages are expressed in 

effective values, which are also referred to as RMS (Root-Mean-

Square) values.

 The effective value is the square root of the average of square 

of alternating current or voltage values. Many clamp meters 

using a conventional rectifying circuit have "RMS" scales for AC 

measurement. The scales are, however, actually calibrated in 

terms of the effective value of a sine wave though the clamp 

meter is responding to the average value. The calibration is 

done with a conversion factor of 1.111 for sine wave, which 

is found by dividing the effective value by the average value. 

These instruments are therefore in error if the input voltage or 

current has some other shape than sine wave.

[ CF (Crest Factor) ]

 CF (Crest Factor) is found by dividing the peak value by the 

effective value.

Examples: Sine wave: CF=1.414

Square wave with a 1: 9 duty ratio: CF=3
