HOW TO USE IT
Test the Ammeter battery
and display by pressing
the ON button. Verify
that each digit in turn
displays 8. If needed,
replace the 9V battery
with a lithium
or alkaline type.
The Ammeter measures
and displays current
in two modes:
The initial factory default mode is
Peak Hold, which displays the peak
RMS current measured while the Ammeter
is placed on a conductor. Peak Hold
mode allows a user to capture and store
the peak current over the period of time
the Ammeter is applied to a conductor.
The second available mode is Real
Time which displays the current as
it normally rises or falls. Real Time mode
allows the user to see changes in load
current as they occur.
The measurement mode can be viewed or changed after the HVA High Voltage
Ammeter is turned on. Simply press the ON button again to display
PH
for
Peak Hold, the initial factory default, or
rt
for Real Time, as shown above.
The selected measurement mode will be saved when the Ammeter shuts
off. To switch between measurement modes, press the ON button again.
The measurement mode can be displayed and changed any time after the
Ammeter is turned on but before current measurements are made by pressing
the ON button. Press it once to display the measurement mode and press
it again to change the mode. If current measurements have already been
made, the memory must be cleared before the measurement mode can be
changed. To clear the memory, press and hold the ON button until zero is
shown on the display. Then proceed to display or change the measurement
mode by pressing the ON button.
