Operation
AC/DC Current Measurements
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
AC 1000A
or
600A
or the
DC 1000A
or
600A
position.
2. If the range is not known, select the higher range first, and then move to the
lower range if necessary.
3. When measuring DC current, press the REL button to zero out the display
before taking a reading. Keep the jaw closed when zeroing the meter.
4. Press the trigger to open the jaw. Clamp around a single conductor making
sure the jaws are fully closed before taking a measurement. For best results,
center the conductor inside the jaw.
5. Read the current on the LCD display.
Incorrect Correct
NO
YES
Disconnect the test leads and temperature probe from
the meter before making current clamp measurements. Do not measure
current on conductors that are more than 600V above earth ground.

1. Set the rotary function switch to
the
VAC/DC, Hz
position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the
negative
COM
input jack and the
red test lead into the positive
V
input jack.
3. Select AC or DC with
the
button.
4. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
5. Read the voltage on the LCD display.

DC/AC Voltage Measurements
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
Ω
•)))
CAP
position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the
negative
COM
input jack and the
red test lead into the positive
Ω
input jack.
3. Press the
button until the
“
Ω
” symbol appears on the display.
4. Touch the test probe tips across
the circuit or component under test. It is best to disconnect
one side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit
will not interfere with the resistance reading.
5. Read the resistance on the LCD display.
