SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFE OPERATION AND STANDARDS
This Meter complies with IEC 61010-1, Pollution Degree 2, Over voltage Category (CATll 1000V, CATlll 600V) and Double Insulation standards.
Anyone using this instrument should be knowledgeable and trained about the risks involved with measuring voltage, especially in an industrial setting, and the importance of taking safety precautions and of testing the instrument before and after using it to ensure that it is in good working condition.
This product has been tested to the requirements of IEC 61010
CAT II: Applicable to test and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points
(socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS installation.
CAT Ill: Applicable to test and measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of the building’s low-voltage MAINS installation.

• Check the clamp meter and test leads before using, guard against any damage.
  If any abnormalities or damage are found, do not use the clamp meter. Carefully examine the insulation around the jaws.

• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed wires. Check test leads continuity. Replace damaged test leads with leads that are suitable to the meter that meet or exceed the safety requirements.

• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment
  (approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

• Do not use in CAT III environments without the protective cap of test probe, The protective cap decreases the exposed probe metal < 4mm. This decreases the possibility of arc flash from short circuits.

• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the meter operates correctly.

• When using the test leads, ensure leads are fully seated and keep your fingers behind the finger guards. Do not contact the bare wire and connector, unused input terminal or the circuit being measured when clamp meter is in operation.

• Do not use the clamp meter without having rear cap and battery cover in place, otherwise electric shock may occur.

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before replacing batteries.

• Hold the meter behind the clamp body as specified in “external overview”.

• Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove the live test lead before the common test lead.

• Function selector shall be set at the correct position prior to measurement.
  Do not change selector settings while measuring to guard against damage to the meter.

• Refrain from applying voltage over DC1000V/AC750V between the clamp meter terminals and ground to guard against electric shock and clamp meter damage.

• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

• When the meter is working at an effective voltage over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special care should be taken as there is danger of electric shock.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.

• Do not measure current in circuits carrying more than 600A with the meter jaw.

• Do not measure voltage or current higher than the allowable input value.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, or capacitance.

• Do not modify the internal wiring in the meter to guard against damage to the meter and danger.

• Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown potentials. When HOLD is turned on, the display does not change when a different potential is measured.

• Do not store or use clamp meter in an explosive or flammable environment, high temperature, high humidity or strong electromagnetic field.

• Clean the clamp meter case with soft cloth and neutral detergent. To prevent causing corrosion to the case, or damage to the instrument do not use abrasives or solvents. Make sure all water is removed before use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT

1.  Set function selector to A , open the meter jaw and clamp the conductor to be measured. Be sure the conductor to be measured is clamped at the centre of the clamp.
2.  Care should be taken to ensure that the clamp is completely closed.
3.  The current measurement will be shown in the display.

NOTE:
Disconnect test leads when measuring with the clamp.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

1.  Connect common test lead to the COM terminal, then insert the red test lead to V Ω terminal.
2.  Set the function selector to the V setting and connect the test lead in parallel with the power or load to be measured.
3.  The meter will auto-range to display the most appropriate measurement.

NOTE:

• Do not input voltage higher than AC 750V as damage to the meter may result.
• After completing all measurement operations, disconnect the test lead from the measured circuit.
• When measured voltage is higher than the safety voltage 30V AC, the meter displays the high voltage warning prompt ” “
• When measured voltage is higher than 750V AC, the meter beeps and displays the high voltage warning prompt.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

1.  Connect common test lead to the COM terminal, then insert the red test lead to V Ω terminal.
2.  Set the function selector to V and connect the test lead in parallel with the power or load to be measured.
3.  The meter will auto-range to display the most appropriate measurement.

NOTE:

• Do not input voltage higher than 1000V as damage to the meter may result.
• When measuring at mV range, relative mode must be used.
• After completing all measurement operations, disconnect the test leads from the measured circuit.
• When the measured voltage is higher than the safety voltage 30V DC, the meter displays high voltage the warning prompt ” “
• When measured voltage is higher than 1000V DC, the meter beeps and displays the high voltage warning prompt.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT

1.  Connect common test lead to the COM terminal, then insert the red test lead to V Ω terminal.
2.  Set the function selector to the measurement setting Ω, press SELECT until the resistance icon Ω appears on the display.
3.  Ensure all power is off in the circuit being measured and that all capacitors have been discharged.
4.  Measure resistance by connecting test leads to circuit.

NOTE:

If the resistance open circuit or resistance being measured exceeds the maximum range of the meter, display will show “OL”.

2.  Press SELECT until the screen displays
3.  Ensure all power is off in the circuit being measured and that all capacitors have been discharged.
4.  Measure continuity by connecting test leads to circuit.
5.  When the measured resistance between two terminals is <30 Ω, the circuit should be deemed conductive, the buzzer will sound continuously.

DIODE TESTING

1.  Connect common test lead to the COM terminal, then insert the red test lead to V Ω terminal. Polarity of red and black test leads is respectively “+” and “-”.
2.  Set the function selector to the measurement setting
