1: INTRODUCTION

The 

Triplett Model 9310-A

 is a 3 3/4 digit, handheld, battery operated, autoranging

Clamp-On Ammeter and  Multi-tester. It performs the basic electrical measure-
ments required by the homeowner as well as advanced measurements useful to
the professional electrician. It measures AC and DC Voltage, AC and DC Current,
and Resistance (Ohms). It also has a Diode Test function, and a Continuity Beeper.
Advanced functions include the measurement of Capacitance, Frequency, and Tem-
perature.  A backlit LCD display makes the meter useful in areas with poor lighting
and convenience features like Data Hold and Auto Power Off add to the useful-
ness of the product. Overload protection makes the meter resistant to damage
from accidental overloads.
