DIGITAL CLAMP METER
OPERATOR’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1. SAFETY INFORMATION
The meter is completely portable, LCD, 3 1/2 digit clamp
meter with insulation test function (with option 500V
insulation tester unit). It has been designed according to
IEC1010-1 IEC1010-2-032 concerning electronic measuring
instruments with an overvoltage category (CAT II 1000V &
CAT III 600V) and pollution 2 and safety requirements for
hand-held current clamps for electrical measurement and
test.
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure that the
meter is used safely and is kept in good operating condition.
1.1 PRELIMINARY
When using this meter, the user must observe all normal
safety rules concerning:
Protection against the dangers of electronic current.
Protection of the meter against misuse.
Full compliance with safety standards can be guaranteed
only if used with test leads supplied. If necessary, they must
be replaced with the same model or same electronic ratings.
Measuring leads must be in good condition.
1.2 DURING USE
Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in
specifications for each range of measurement.
When the meter is linked to measurement circuit, do not
touch unused terminals.
When the value scale to be measured is unknown
beforehand, set the range selector at the highest position.
Before rotating the range selector to change function,
disconnect test leads from the circuit under test.
When carrying out measurements on TV or switching power
circuits always remember that there may be high amplitude
voltage pulses at test points, which can damage the meter.
Never perform resistance measurements on live circuits.
Always is careful when working with voltage above 60VDC
or 30VAC rms. Keep fingers behind the probe barriers while
measuring.
1.3 SYMBOLS
Important safety information, refer to the operating
manual.
Dangerous voltage may be present.
Double insulation (Protection class II).
Application around and removal from HAZARDOUS
LIVE conductors is permitted.
Earth ground.
1.4 MAINTENANCE
Before opening the meter, always disconnect test leads
from all sources of electric current.
If any faults or abnormalities are observed, the meter cannot
be used anymore and it has to be checked out.
Never use the meter unless the back cover and the battery
cover are in place and fastened fully.
Do not use abrasives or solvents on the meter, use a damp
cloth and mild detergent only.
2. DESCRIPTION
This meter is one of a series portable 3 1/2 digital clamp
meter for measuring DC and AC Voltage, AC current,
resistance, continuity test and insulation test.
Full overload protection, Low battery indication and over-
range indication are providing.
Following table shows function of the series of clamp meter:
1. TRANSFORMER JAWS
2. BARRIER OR TACTILE INDICATOR
3. DATA HOLD SWITCH
4. TEMPERATURE MEASURING SOCKET
5. ROTARY SWITCH
6. LCD DISPLAY
7. DROP-PROOF WRIST STRAP
8. INPUT JACKS
9. TRIGGER
2.1 FUNCTION AND RANGE SELECTOR
A rotary switch is used to measurement functions and
ranges.
When the switch is set to OFF position, the meter does not
operate.
2.2 TRANSFORMER JAWS
Pick up the AC current flowing through the conductor.
Press the TRIGGER to open the transformer jaws.
When the finger press on the TRIGGER is released, the
jaws will close again.
2.3 DATA HOLD
Depress HOLD Button Switch to toggle in and out of the
Data Hold mode.
Releasing Data Hold mode again press the button.
2.4 INPUT JACKS
This meter has three input jacks that are protected against
overload to the limits shown.
During use connect the black test lead to COM jack and
connect red test lead to VΩ jack.
The red test lead is depended on function selected.
The EXT jack is used for accept insulation tester unit EXT
banana Plugs, when measurement insulation resistance.
