Operation
NOTES
: Read and understand all
Warning
and
Caution
statements in this operation
manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the
meter is not in use.
AC True RMS Current Measurements
WARNING:
Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making
current clamp measurements.
1.
Set the Function switch to the
A
position.
2.
Select the fundamental frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) with the
50Hz-60Hz
push-button.
The LCD display will reflect the selected
frequency.
3.
Open the clamp loop by pressing the latch tabs
and disconnecting the clamp coupling connector.
4.
Fully enclose only one conductor centered inside
the clamp loop. Allow at least 25mm between the
conductor and the clamp coupling connector.
5.
The meter’s LCD will display the current (A) and
frequency (Hz) readings.
Note: For measurements lower than 3A, the meter’s
frequency display will indicate ‘0’.
‘OL’ is displayed when the measurement exceeds
the specified maximum limit.
AC True RMS Voltage Measurements
WARNING:
Maximum input is 600Vac rms. Do not attempt to take any voltage
measurement that exceeds this limit. Exceeding the limit could cause electrical shock and
damage to the meter.
1.
Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
terminal and the red test lead into the
positive
V
terminal.
2.
Set the function switch to the
V
position.
3.
Select the fundamental frequency (50Hz or 60Hz)
with the
50Hz-60Hz
push-button. The LCD display
will reflect the selected frequency.
4.
Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under
test.
5.
Read the voltage measurement (V) and frequency
(Hz) on the LCD display. ‘OL’ is displayed when the
measurement exceeds the specified maximum limit.
Note: For measurements lower than 30V, the
meter’s frequency display will indicate ‘0’.
