Notes
•
If the reading is positive, the current direction is from down to up (See Figure 10,
with the front panel facing up, and rear panel facing down).
•
Do not release the jaw suddenly as the built-in Hall components are very sensitive
to magnetic force, heat and mechanical stress, any shock will cause read errors.
•
To measure DC current and obtain a more precise reading, perform the following
steps:
1. Hold the meter, and press the trigger to open the detector jaw. Center the
conductor within the detector jaw, then release the trigger gently until the
detector jaw is completely closed. Make sure the conductor to be measured
is placed at the center of the detector jaw, otherwise it will produce ±1.0%
measuring deviation based on the stated accuracy.
2. Open the jaw and remove the detector from the current conductor.
3. Press REL
to display zero.
4. Repeat Step 1.
