For AC/DC current ranges, it takes approx. 20 seconds after power-on to get the 

stable display.

 

 

*

 In case of the continuous measurement of DC current for long time, the “0” point may 

change by surrounding temperature and or by magnetization of CT. It may cause 

inaccurate measurement. 

 

*

 In case of measuring DC current, the display value may not return to “0.0” after 

measurement due to CT magnetization. 

Before measurement, make “0” adjustment each time and 

  mark will be displayed. 

The 40A range is high sensitive and the last digit may get unstable but it is not 

abnormal. 

 

 

       

 

WARNING 

 

POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK 

● 

Test probes are consumption articles. Confirm that there are no damage at 

the insulate coat part of probes. If you find any unusualness, stop the use 
instantly and repair or replace the probes. 

 

POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD, BURN 

● 

Connect test probes firmly. In case of mis-connection, it may cause spark. 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION 

 

 

POSSIBLE DAMAGE 

● 

At the measurement of resistance, it may cause the damage to the inside of 

instrument if applying voltage mistakenly.
