Battery Installation and Replacement:  

Use any fresh 9-volt flat-pack type battery (not 

supplied).  To install, remove screw from each side of case and gently separate two 
halves.  Install 9-volt battery on snap clip, then slip into retainer (see previous drawing).   
To prevent damage from battery leakage, always remove battery when storing meter for 
prolonged periods.   

 

  
Important Note:  Always remove the battery when storing your unit for long periods.
 
 
Operating Instructions 
 
Using the Sense Coil:  

The sense coil snaps over wires and cables, as shown below.  To 

unlatch, squeeze the nylon carrier between thumb and forefinger--applying opposing 
pressure.  The coil's top section should move forward slightly.  With pressure applied, lift 
up to open.  Position the wire or cable inside the core opening.  Close the lid over the 
cable, pressing down until latch clicks shut.

Meter:  

The

 

meter is scaled from 0 to 100.  On the 100-mA range, readout is direct (100 

= 100 mA).  On the 1-A range, move the decimal point 2 places to the left (100 = 1.00 A).  
To convert meter readings made on the 30 mA, 300 mA, and 3-A ranges, multiply 
accordingly.  For example, a reading of 85 on the 300-mA range equals 300 x .85, or 255 
mA.   The chart below will help you estimate readings quickly:

The <30 mA range is uncalibrated and meter readings represent a relative indication only.  
It is normal, at high sensitivity, to see some residual meter reading (up to 15%).
