A. Clamp:
Measure inductive AC current. Opens to 1.25” (32.0mm).
B. Conductor Alignment Marks:
Use to aid the visual alignment of a
conductor when measuring inductive amperage. Greatest accuracy
is achieved when the conductor inside the clamp is centered at the
intersection of these marks.
C. Category Max Indicator:
Maximum CAT Rating for clamp jaw.
D. NCV Alert Light:
Indicates voltage when in NCV (Non Contact Voltage)
mode and High Voltage alert.
F. Clamp Lever:
Opens and closes current clamp jaw.
NOTE:
The clamp uses a high-tension spring to close the jaw. Do not
allow fingers or objects to become pinched in the base as the jaws close.
G. Rotary Selector Dial:
Set Rotary Selector Dial desired function
H. Range Button
:
• Press to set manual range desired
I. SELECT Button
:
• Press AC or DC on Low Z setting; DCmV or DCV on Voltage setting;
to activate ohms, Continuity, Diode, Capacitance on Ohms/Continuity/
Diode/Capacitance setting; AC or DC on μA setting; °C or °F
temperature setting
J. Category Max Indicator:
Maximum CAT Rating for input jacks.
K. Test Lead Input Jacks:
Multifunction and Positive input jacks.
• Multifunction input port used for measuring: AC or DC volts, resistance,
continuity, diode, capacitance, AC or DC μA.
L. Wire Separation Tab/ NCV sensor:
Use to isolate an individual wire from
a bundle for testing. NCV sensor detects live voltage.
M. Test Lead Holder
N. Hand Guide:
Used as a point of reference for the operator’s safety.
O. Hold/Back light Button:
• Press to hold the reading on the display. Press again to return to live reading.
• Press and hold to turn on Back light.
• Backlight turn off after 60 seconds.
• Press hold during power up to disable the Auto power off function.
