DC current measurement 

 

1.  Move the rotary control switch (3) to 

the “200 A DC” position. 

 

2.  Press and hold the zeroing button (4) for 2 seconds to perform a zeroing of the display. 

 

3.  Open the current clamp by using the opening button (6) and put the conductor to be measured 

inside the clamp mechanism. 

Note: Make sure there is only one conductor at a time inside the clamp mechanism.

 

 

4.  You can now see the reading on the display 

5.3 

AC/DC voltage measurement 

 

1.  Connect the black test lead to the negative COM connector and the red test lead to the positive V 

connector. 

 

2. 

Move the rotary control switch (3) to the “V AC/DC” position. 

 

3.  Connect the test leads parallel to the component to be measured. 

 

4.  You can now see the reading on the display. 

5.4 

Non-contact voltage test 

 
1.  Move the top of the clamp close to the live conductor. For measuring purposes, it does not matter 

if the conductor is insulated or not. 
If you want to detect lead fractures move the current clamp along the conductor. 
 

2.  As long as the conductor is live, the signal lamp (8) is glowing. 

 

Note: Electrostatic charging can also make the signal lamp glow. 

 

5.5 

Resistance measuring and continuity test 

 

1.  Connect the black test lead to the negative COM connector and the red test lead to the positive V 

connector. 
 

2. 

Move the rotary control switch (3) to the “

Ω” position.

 

 

3.  Connect the test leads to the component to be measured. 

Note: It is best to disconnect the circuit to be measured before performing a test to prevent 
interference with the reading. 

 

4.  Now you can see the reading on the display. If the resistance is below 30 

Ω, the device plays an 

acoustic alarm signal.

 

 

Additional functions 

6.1 

Flashlight 

The current clamp comes with a built-in flashlight for working in areas with poor lighting conditions. 
To turn the flashlight on, press the light button (2).
