Model UT232: OPERATING MANUAL

This Operating Manual covers information on safety
and cautions. Please read the relevant information
carefully and observe all the

Warnings

and

Notes

strictly.

Warning

To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the
ìSafety Informationî and ìRules for Safe Operationî
carefully before using the Meter.

Model

UT232

is a three phase intelligent handheld

digital power clamp meter

(hereafter referred to as ìthe

Meterî) which has both the features of digital current
meter and also power measurement meter.

The Meter can measure Voltage, Current, Active Power,
Apparent Power, Reactive Power, Power Factor, Phase
Angle, Frequency, Active Energy and etc.

Open the package case and take out the Meter. Check
the following items carefully to see any missing or
damaged part:
