OPERATION

PREPARATION BEFORE MEASUREMENT

Battery Installment:

1. Confirm the power switch OFF.
2. The battery cover is fixed by screw and turn it to the left for removing cover.
3. Install the batteries according to the indication of battery case (do not mistake to place “+” and “－” polarity).
4. 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

1. Power switch on and select the appropriate range to be measured by range select switch.
2.  Push up CT guide to the conductor to be measured for clamping CT.
3. Push Data Hold switch to hold measured value.
4.  After measurement, pull out CT from the conductor and read the measured value.
5. 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.
