Symbol-Explanation

Function Buttons

| Correction of Zero correction for DC measurement
---|---

This function allows the user to set the magnetization effects to zero when measuring DC. It must be performed after each high-amplitude current measurement.

With no conductor inserted into the clamp, press and hold the “Z / F” key (approx. 3 seconds) until a beep sounds and the ZERO symbol appears on the display.

Function selector (for secondary functions)

Press the “Z / F” key to switch the respective secondary function between the different measurements for the applications accessible via the function switch such as between AC and DC.

| ****

Press the “MAX/ MIN” button to display the minimum or maximum values one after the other. Press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds to exit MAX/ MIN mode.

---|---

| Backlight: Press the button to change the background

Activate/ deactivate lighting. It turns off automatically after about 10 seconds of inactivity.

Work light: Press and hold this button for more than 2 seconds to switch the work light on or off.

| ****

HOLD: The HOLD function holds the currently displayed measured value on the display so that it can be read or logged in peace.

Make sure that the function is deactivated at the start of the test. Otherwise an incorrect measurement result will be simulated!

NCV (non-contact AC voltage detection):

Press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds to activate or deactivate the NCV function.

Other Functions

• AC voltage measurement with low-pass filter “LPF”
  The”LPF” function allows the clamp meter to filter interfering signals of over 60 Hz. These signals can lead to inaccurate measurements. The meter filters these signals and only measures the voltage signal.

• Measurement with LPF:
  Set the rotary switch to 600A, 60A or V. Press the “Z / F” button three times until appears on the display. Now you can connect test leads and start measurement. The LPF function is only possible in AC measurement mode.

• High-Impedance Voltage Measurement
  High Impedance means high electrical Impedance. This is used to denote the input Impedance or output Impedance of electrical circuits and devices in particular. When measuring in the circuit, this has only a minor impact on the performance of the circuit, particularly in the case of sensitive electronic circuits or control circuits.

Low impedance voltage measurement (LowZ}

• LoZ mode allows you to measure AC voltages with a low impedance (approx. 300 kO). In this mode, the multimeter lowers the internal resistance to prevent ‘phantom’ voltage readings. As a result, the circuit is more heavily loaded than in the standard measuring mode.
• Set the rotary switch to “LowZ” to use the function.
• The LowZ voltage measurement must not exceed 600 V. Due to the reduced impedance, this measurement function is not suitable for continuous measurement.
• The measurement duration of 1 minute must be observed.

Operating Instructions

Insert and replace batteries

• Replace the batteries immediately when the symbol “‘ ” appears in the display. Disconnect the meter from the power source. Remove the test leads from the measuring device, loosen the screws on the back and remove the lower half of the housing, replace the old batteries and screw the cover back on.

Turn on/off the meter

• The device is switched on when the rotary switch (5) is set to a measuring function.
• When the rotary switch is set to OFF, the measuring device is switched off.

Automatic shutdown

• No operation in 15 minutes, and the clamp meter beeped 3 times. Without further operation, the clamp meter beeps again and switches off automatically.
• Press any key to restore the clamp meter to operating status. The symbol appears on the display.
• To deactivate the automatic switch-off, hold down the “Z / F” key for more than 2 seconds and switch on the clamp meter at the same time. The symbol disappears. Restart after switching off the meter, the automatic switch-off can be restored.

Auto-ranging

• The meter automatically selects the measuring range that is best suited for the measurement performed. The measuring unit and resolution are adjusted at the same time.

AC Zero Input Behavior of True-RMS Meters

• Unlike averaging meters, which can accurately measure only pure sinewave, True-rms meters accurately measure distorted waveforms. Calculating True-rms converters requires a certain level of input voltage to make a measurement. This is why ac voltage and current ranges are specified  from 5 % of the range to 100 % of the range. Non-zero digits that are displayed on a True-rms meter when the test leads are open or are shorted are normal. They do not affect the specified AC accuracy above 5 % of the range.

Connecting Test Leads

• Do not test if leads are improperly seated. Results could cause intermittent display readings. To ensure proper connection, firmly press the leads into the input jack completely.

Making Measurements

AC/ DC Current measurement

The current is measured via the current clamp (2). The sensors in the current clamp detect the magnetic field created by current-carrying conductors. You can take measurements on insulated and not insulated conductors.

The test leads should be disconnected from the measuring device when measuring current. Proceed as follows to measure the current:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the correct current setting (60A / 600A). “DC” appears on the display. Press the “Z / F” button, AC is shown on the display.
2. Press the clamp release lever and open the clamp.
3. Grasp the individual current conductor to be measured and close the current clamp again. Position the conductor in the middle between the two triangular position symbols on the pliers.
   • Do not use the current clamp to surround more than one conductor.
   • If the supply and return conductors (e.g. L and N) are measured, the currents will cancel each other out and no measurement will be displayed. The cables of household appliances usually contain L and N conductors. A cable separator is required to measure with the current clamp.
   • If several supply conductors (e.g. L 1 and L2) are measured, the currents add up.
   • Center the conductor through the current clamp (above the markings)
   • Hold your fingers behind the tactile barrier.
4. The measured current is shown on the display. If current> 3A, the orange display lights up.
5. During AC current measurement, press “Z / F” to display the frequency value or use the LPF function measurement.

Voltage Measurement V (DC / AC)

Voltage above 600 V cannot be measured! When measuring high voltage, pay special attention to safety to avoid electric shock or injury.

1. Set the rotary switch to v. Press the “Z / F” key to change the AC or DC voltage measurement.
2. Plug the black test lead into the COM socket and the red test lead into the INPUT socket.
3. Then bring the test probes into contact with the points to be measured.
4. Read the result on the display. If the voltage is> 80 V, the orange display lights up.
5. When measuring the AC voltage, press “Z / F” to display the frequency result or the result of the LPF function.
6. If you are measuring low impedance, turn the rotary switch to the Low-Z position and press the “Z / F” button to switch between AC and DC voltage .

Attention

• High impedance voltage measurement: 10 MO
• Low impedance voltage measurement: 300 kO
