LAUNCH EG100 New Energy Clip-on Ammeter

Product Information

The EG 100 New Energy Clip-on Ammeter is a small-sized, high-precision, and stable performance clip-on ammeter developed by LAUNCH specifically for testing new energy vehicles. It supports both AC/DC current testing and DC voltage testing. However, it cannot be used alone and must be used in conjunction with the Current Clamp App on the diagnostic tool.

The ammeter is equipped with various features including a power switch, chain hole, aviation plug, light, light switch, ZERO button for zero adjustment before measuring DC current, battery coverfixing screws, and a battery cover. It also has indicators such as RUN (which flashes when communicating wirelessly with the diagnostic tool) and LO BAT (which lights up when the battery is low).

Technical specifications of the EG 100 Clip-on Ammeter include:

• Function: DC/AC current test, DC voltage test
• Battery: 9V 6LR61
• Test method: Clamp CT, non-contact measurement
• Jaw size: Current measurement range 0-200A DC/AC
• Resolution: 10mA DC/AC

Product Usage Instructions

1. Make sure the Current Clamp App is running on the diagnostic tool.

2. Slide the power switch on the clip-on ammeter to the ON position, and the power LED will light up.

3. In the Current Clamp App, tap the “Not Connected” button to start searching for the clip-on ammeter.

4. Select the target clip-on ammeter (default name: EG + last 7 digits of product Serial Number) from the search results to establish a connection.

5. The screen will display “Connected” once the connection is successful.

6. For measuring DC current, perform zero adjustment by tapping
   the “Zero” button in the app. This function is equivalent to using
   the ZERO button on the clip-on ammeter.

7. Depending on the measurement scenario, clamp the positive and negative lines of the DC line simultaneously, clamp only the main line of the main circuit, or clamp only the earth wire.

8. The app will display the measurement type, range selector, current measurement value, voltage measurement value, and waveform display area.

9. You can save and playback previously saved waveforms using the respective buttons in the app.

10. To conserve battery power, it is recommended to turn off the clip-on ammeter immediately after use.

EG 100 New Energy Clip-on Ammeter

EG100 is a clip-on ammeter specially developed by LAUNCH for the test of new energy vehicles. The clip-on ammeter is small in size, high in precision and stable in performance. It supports AC/DC current test and DC voltage test.

This clip-on ammeter cannot be used alone, it must work together with the “Current Clamp” APP on the diagnostic tool.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1. Jaw (φ16mm×18mm)

2. DC current + input indication

   • When measuring DC current, if the current of the tested wire and the clip-on ammeter are flowing in the same direction, it will be displayed as a positive value, and if it flows in the opposite direction, it will be displayed as a negative value. The relative values of the readings are the same, with positive and negative representing the direction of current flow.

3. Pliers

4. Trigger

   • Control the opening and closing of the pliers.

5. LEDs
   There are three LEDs:

   • POWER : Lights up after power on.
   • RUN: Flashes when communicating with diagnostic tool wirelessly.
   • LO BAT: Battery indicator light. Lights up when the battery is low.

6. Power switch

7. Chain hole

8. Aviation plug

9. Light

10. Light switch

11. ZERO button When measuring DC current, it is necessary to perform zero adjustment before measurement.

12. Battery cover fixing screws

13. Battery cover

Note : When the clip-on ammeter is not communicating with the diagnostic tool, it will automatically enter sleep mode if no activities are made within about 5minutes. To conserve battery power, you are suggested to turn it off immediately after using it.

Operations

1. Connection status bar: The connection status with the clip-on ammeter. Tap to switch the status.
2. Measurement type
3. Range selector
4. Current measurement value display area
5. Voltage measurement value display area
6. Page Up/Down key
7. Save waveform: Save the current waveform.
8. Open Waveform: Play back the previously saved waveform.
9. Zero: Tap to zero the clip-on ammeter. This function is the same as that of the “ZERO” button on the clip-on ammeter.
10. Waveform display area
11. Start/Stop: Start/stop measurement.

1. Run the “Current Clamp” App on the diagnostic tool, and the following screen will appear:

2. Slide the power switch on the clip-on ammeter to ON, and the power LED lights up.

3. Tap the “Not Connected” button to start searching for the clip-on ammeter, tap the target clip-on ammeter (the default name is EG + the last 7 digits of the product Serial Number) to connect, and the screen will display “Connected” after the connection is successful.

4. Make sure the clip-on ammeter is not in use, press the “ZERO” button on the clip-on ammeter until the reading on the diagnostic tool is 0.
   Note : Zero adjustments can eliminate the influence of external electric field or geomagnetic field on the clip-on ammeter, making the measurement result more accurate. Zero adjustment steps: Firstly place the clamp head close to the tested wire, and the clip-on ammeter induction will output a voltage (interference amount of the external electric field), adjust the ZERO button to zero the interference value, and then clamp the wire. Doing so will make the test result more reliable. After measuring a large current, the clip- on ammeter will have a certain amount of residual magnetism in a short time. If it is used for a small current test immediately, please reset it to zero.

5. Press the trigger to open the clamp jaw, clamp the wire to be measured and tap the

   • “Start” button on the screen to start the measurement.

Application Scenarios

Measuring DC (Direct Current)

1. Measuring DC leakage:
   Clamp the positive and negative lines of the DC line simultaneously.

2. Measuring the main circuit current:
   Only clamp the main line of the main circuit.

3. Measuring the leakage current of the earth wire:
   Only clamp the earth wire.

4. Measuring AC Leakage:
   Clamp the live and neutral wires of the AC line at the same time.

5. Measuring DC Voltage (Max. 48V):
   Connect one end of the supplied battery clamp to the aviation plug of the clip-on ammeter, and clamp the wire to be tested with the other end.

Replacing Battery

When the battery power is low, the LO BAT LED lights up. Please shut down and replace the battery in time. Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the battery cover when installing the battery. Pay attention to battery polarity to avoid damaging the clip-on ammeter. Please use 9V dry battery for replacement. If the clip-on ammeter is not used for a long time, please remove the battery.
