engines produce carbon monoxide which is odourless and causes slower reaction time which could lead to serious injury.
An engine which is operating should be in a well ventilated area, or the vehicle’s exhaust should be connected to an adequate fume
removal system.

clamp to conductors with voltages equal to or exceeding 300V dc or 240V rms Ac
▲
exceeding the electrical limits of this current clamp meter is dangerous and will expose you to serious or possibly fatal injury.
carefully read and understand the specification limits and cautions in this safety section.
9
familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the current clamp and multimeter (see multimeter manual) as well as the
potential hazards.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
9
When working on a vehicle which is being tested or repaired ensure that the handbrake is on and the front wheels are chocked to avoid
the vehicle moving and causing injury.
9
Wear suitable eye protection when testing or repairing a vehicle.
9
Avoid measurement errors from outside interference. Keep the meter away from spark plug and coil wires.
9
When using a current clamp please observe all normal safety rules concerning protection against the dangers of electrical current
and protect the current clamp against misuse.
9
Before commencing testing, follow instructions below and select the correct input sockets, function and range on the multimeter.
9
Always take care when working with voltages above 35V dc or 25V Ac rms. these voltages are considered a shock hazard.
9
Always keep fingers behind the probe barriers whilst measuring and

use when hands are wet.
9
if any abnormal readings are observed, the multimeter must be checked out by an authorised technician.
9
When not in use, store the current clamp carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location out of direct sunlight. if storing for a long period
of time, remove the battery. storage temperature range: -15°c to 50°c.

When the battery becomes exhausted or drops below the operating voltage, the red led battery symbol will be illuminated.
1.2.2.
open the battery cover by loosening the screw using a small cross head screwdriver.
remove the old battery and insert the new one, observing the correct polarity clearly shown inside the compartment.

designed for use with a standard multimeter and measures current draw from vehicle components, in situ, without the need to break into the circuit.
suitable for measuring both Ac and dc current. fitted with 4mm banana elbow connectors and supplied in a storage pouch. Powered by a 9V
battery (supplied). the current clamp adaptor can also be used with an oscilloscope, using a suitable Bnc conversion adaptor.
