Measurement Considerations
The core of the current jaw may retain magnetism after use. If this happens the display
may not reach zero when adjusting the DCA zero dial.
To correct this, either:
a. Change the direction of the measured DC current, or
b. Forcefully snap the jaws open and close several times.
Data Hold
While taking measurements slide the
Off/On/hold
switch to the
Hold
position to freeze the
displayed reading. To return to normal operation, slide the switch to the
ON
position.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the battery power drops below the acceptable operating voltage (approx. 7V), the
LO BAT
icon appears on the LCD display. This indicates that the battery needs to be
replaced soon. However, in-spec measurements can still be made for several hours after
the low battery indicator appears. To replace the battery:
1. Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver or small coin.
2. Replace the 9V battery and secure the compartment cover.
Cleaning
Use only a dry cloth to clean the plastic case. Do not use solvents, abrasives, or harsh
detergents.
