7. Because of the sensitivity and quick response time of the 

ACM6000 and K-Type thermocouple the readings will reveal 
higher highs and lower lows than are possible with dial 
type thermometers.

8.  When testing is complete move the instrument power switch to 

OFF, and remove the thermocouple.

Battery replacement

When the low battery symbol is displayed on the LCD, replace the 
battery with a new one.

Dispose of batteries in accordance with your local solid-waste disposal
regulations. Never expose batteries to high temperature or incineration.

1. Turn the ADM6000 power switch OFF.

2.  Remove test leads from the meter.

3.  Remove the battery cover screw (Fig. 4).

4.  Remove the battery cover.

5.  Remove the depleted battery.

6.  Insert a fresh 9V NEDA1604, IEC6F22 Battery, observe polarity

markings in the battery compartment.

7. Replace the battery cover.

8.  Replace and secure the battery cover screw.

9.  Resume normal use of the instrument.

Environmental operating conditions

This clamp meter was designed to be used in temperature and 
humidity that remains within the range of 60˚ to 90˚F and 30 to 85%
Relative Humidity (RH). Excessive temperatures (hot or cold) or 
excessive humidity can cause the meter to give erroneous readings.

If the humidity raises to the point of causing condensation on the
ACM6000, the meter can become dangerous to use and can give 
erroneous readings. Most test equipment in use today use sensitive 
digital electrical components. These components are extremely 
sensitive to heat and humidity.

NOTE:

Whenever the meter undergoes a rapid or ex t reme change of 

t e m p e ra t u re or humidity, it should be left on for about 5 minutes to 
allow the internal tempera t u re to stabilize. This will ensure that your 
m e a s u rements are as accurate as possible.
