Multimic HCL-5000+ Digital Clamp Tester
Thank you very much for selecting our digital clamp tester model HCL-5000D for
AC line current in a Hi voltage circuit.
This model is complex instrument and employ a very reliable
mechanical/electronic design. Before you use your new instrument, read this
instruction manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with all
functions and keep this instruction manual carefully to take out whenever you
need.
SAFETY SUMMARY
- To use this instrument safely, read this “SAFETY SUMMARY” carefully and apply the instrument correctly.

WARNING:
This symbol indicates the contents “Possibilities of the death or the serious
wound can be supposed” caused from misoperation.
CAUTION:
This symbol indicates the contents “Possibilities of the injury oronly the
material damage can be supposed” caused from mis- operations.
WARNING
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
- When using this instrument in the circuit more than AC 1000V, operate very carefully (always wear the rubber gloves).
- Apply only the coated cables and do not clamp the bare cables.
- Do not handle the instrument in the rain, at humid place, with a drop of water and or with wet hands.
- Do not use the instrument if the CT case, instrument body and or rubber handle cover are damaged. Replace the rubber handle cover to new one, if it is damaged.
- Do not disassemble this instrument
- High voltage circuit is very dangerous and people without expertise should not operate the instrument.

DIMENSION & PANEL
- Clamp CT: CT sensor detecting the current by clamping method.
- Open/Close Guide for CT: Clamping/releasing CT to or from the conductor by pushing /drawing this part.
- Power Switch: Switch for power on and off.
- Range Switch: Switch for range selection of 2000mA/20A
- Display: LCD readout the measurement value, “B” battery sign and“DH” data hold the mark.
- Data Hold Switch: Push this switch to hold the data and the “DH” mark will appear on the display. Push once again to release.
- Battery Cover:: Remove this cover to install or replace batteries
- Grip: Grip part for handheld.
OPERATION
PREPARATION BEFORE MEASUREMENT
Battery Installment:
- Confirm the power switch OFF.
- The battery cover is fixed by screw and turn it to the left for removing cover.
- Install the batteries according to the indication of battery case (do not mistake to place “+” and “-” polarity).
- After the replacement, put the battery cover to the original position firmly.
- 「B」sign will appear on the display when batteries are exhausted and get less than operation voltage. Replace to new batteries immediately.
- Do not use the batteries mixed new one and once used and or different kind ones.
WARNING
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ACCIDENT
- Do not replace the batteries under the conditions of measuring current or voltage
- Do not operate the instrument with the battery cover off.
CAUTION
When not using the instrument for a long period, remove the batteries and
keep separately. The batteries may leak and may cause damage to the instrument
.
OPERATION METHOD
- Power switch on and select the appropriate range to be measured by range select switch.
- Push up CT guide to the conductor to be measured for clamping CT.
- Push Data Hold switch to hold measured value.
- After measurement, pull out CT from the conductor and read the measured value.
- Set power switch off after finished operation.
When “B” mark appears on LCD during measurement, replace the batteries immediately, as the batteries are consumed and get lower than operation voltage.
CAUTION
POSSIBLE DAMAGE OF INSTRUMENT
- Do not apply the current more than 20A to the instrument, as it may cause damage and heating by giving excess big current to CT.
- This model is high precision measuring instrument. It may cause defect, if CT part receives heavy load.
