Please carefully read the safety instructions and the user manual before using this product. Use the device only as specified in the user manual. Keep away from children.

The kit includes: digital clamp meter, test leads, K-type thermocouple, carry bag, user manual, and warranty.

Getting started
Open the battery compartment cover (15) and insert 3 AAA batteries according to the correct polarity. Close the cover.

Usage
Use the knob switch (6) to turn the device on and then select the required operation mode

• OFF – off position
• 1000 A≂, 60/600 A≂ – AC/DC measurement (with VFD/Inrush function)
• V≂ – AC/DC voltage measurement (with VFD function)
• Hz% – frequency and duty cycle measurement
• resistance measurement, continuity test, diode test, and capacitance measurement
• °C/°F – temperature measurement
• LoZ V≂ – low impedance AC/DC voltage measurement
• NCV/LIVE – non-contact voltage and live wire detection.
• Press the FUNC button (7) to switch between the functions. When the device is off, press and hold (7) for 3 seconds to enable/disable the auto-off option, and then observe the corresponding symbol on the screen. When the auto-off option is enabled, the device will automatically turn off in 15 minutes.
• Press the RAN button (8) to switch to manual mode and select the required measurement range. Press and hold (8) for 3 seconds to restore auto-ranging (used by default).
• Press the MAX/MIN button (9) to switch between maximum and minimum values (for current, voltage, resistance and temperature measurements only). Press and hold (9) for 3 seconds to exit this function.
• Press the REL/ZERO button (10) to measure relative values, store the existing readings, and reset the display to zero (for DC measurement mode only).
• Press the H/Light button (14) to hold the display readings (H appears on the screen). Press and hold (14) for 3 seconds to turn the flashlight on/off.

AC/DC measurement (with VFD/Inrush function)

• Turn the knob switch (6) to the 1000 A≅ or 60/600 A≅ position according to the current measurement limit. Press the FUNC button (7) until AC or DC appears on the screen. Press the trigger (5) to open the clamps (2) and fully enclose the conductor to be measured. Then, slowly release the trigger (5). In order to ensure the measurement accuracy, the measured conductor must be placed in the center of the clamps. When measuring the DC, press and hold REL/ZERO button (10) for 3 seconds to set the remaining magnetization to zero. The device will beep and ZERO will appear on the screen. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).
• To eliminate high frequency noise during the AC measurement using a low-pass filter, press (7) until VFD (Variable frequency drive filtering) appears on the screen.
• To measure inrush current, press (7) 3 times until INRUSH (Inrush current) appears on the screen.
• The measurement time of inrush current is about 100ms.
• For the following measurements using test leads, turn the knob switch (6) to the appropriate position. Plug the black test lead into the COM jack (12) and the red test lead into the INPUT jack (13).

AC/DC voltage measurement (with VFD function)

• Turn the knob switch (6) to the V≅ or LoZ V≅ position. Press (7) until AC or DC voltage appears on the screen. Connect the probes to the measuring points. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).
• The maximum continuous measurement time of low input impedance is 1 minute.
• High input impedance is approx. 10MΩ, low input impedance is approx. 300kΩ.
• When measuring the AC voltage using a low-pass filter, press (7) until VFD (Variable frequency drive filtering) appears on the screen.

Frequency and duty cycle measurement
Turn the knob switch (6) to the Hz% position. Connect the probes to the measuring points or in parallel to the circuit to be measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).

Resistance measurement
Turn the knob switch (6) to the position. Press (7) until MΩ appears on the screen. Connect the probes to the resistance measuring  points of circuit or resistor. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).

Before measurement, make sure that the power supply is disconnected and the capacitor in the circuit is completely discharged.

Continuity test
Turn the knob switch (6) to the ****position. Press (7) until the symbol appears on the screen. Connect the probes to the circuit or component to be tested. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).

If the resistance is <30Ω, an acoustic signal will be emitted continuously and the orange LED indicator (4) will light up.

Diode test
Turn the knob switch (6) to the ****position. Press (7) until the symbol appears on the screen. Connect the black test probe to the cathode side and the red test probe to the anode side of the diode to be measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).

If the polarity of the test probes is reverse to the diode polarity, the OL (Overload) will appear on the screen. This can be used for distinguishing the anode and cathode side of a diode.

Capacitance measurement
Turn the knob switch (6) to the **** position. Press (7) until nF appears on the screen. Connect the probes to the capacitance to be measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).

Temperature measurement
Turn the knob switch (6) to the °C/°F position. Press (7) to switch between °C/°F. Plug the black test lead of the K-type thermocouple into the COM jack (12) and the red test lead into the INPUT jack (13). Connect the thermocouple probe to the object to be measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD screen (11).

Non-contact voltage detection (NCV)
Turn the knob switch (6) to the NCV/LIVE position. Press (7) until NCV (Non- contact voltage detection) appears on the screen. Slowly bring the NCV probe (1) close to the point to be detected. When the signal of a weak electromagnetic field is detected, the “– – – L” will appear on the screen, the built-in buzzer will produce a slow beep sound, and the LED indicator (4) will glow green. When the signal of a strong electromagnetic field is detected, the “– – – H” will appear on the screen, the built-in buzzer will produce a quick beep sound, and the LED indicator (4) will glow red.

When using this function, remove the test leads from the jacks.

Live detection
Turn the knob switch (6) to the NCV/LIVE position. Press (7) until LIVE (Live detection) appears on the screen. Plug only the red test lead into the INPUT jack (13). Connect the red test probe to the conductor to be measured. When the signal of a weak electromagnetic field is detected, the “– – – L” will appear on the screen, the built-in buzzer will produce a slow beep sound, and the LED indicator (4) will glow green. When the signal of a strong electromagnetic field is detected, the “– – – H” will appear on the screen, the built-in buzzer will produce a quick beep sound, and the LED indicator (4) will glow red.Turn the knob switch (6) to the NCV/LIVE position. Press (7) until LIVE (Live detection) appears on the screen. Plug only the red test lead into the INPUT jack (13). Connect the red test probe to the conductor to be measured. When the signal of a weak electromagnetic field is detected, the “– – – L” will appear on the screen, the built-in buzzer will produce a slow beep sound, and the LED indicator (4) will glow green. When the signal of a strong electromagnetic field is detected, the “– – – H” will appear on the screen, the built-in buzzer will produce a quick beep sound, and the LED indicator (4) will glow red.

Care and maintenance

Do not use the device if it is damaged or does not operate properly. Use extreme caution when voltages exceeding the true RMS value of 30V AC, the peak voltage of 42V AC, or 60V DC are present. Such voltages may result in electric shock. The voltage applied between the test terminals or between any terminal and the ground shall not exceed the nominal value specified in the technical data sheet. Do not expose the device to rain or wet conditions. Do not use the device in potentially explosive rooms. Do not use the device in aggressive atmosphere. Do not open the device. Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator lights up. Follow local and national safety regulations when working in hazardous locations. Protect the device from sudden impact and excessive mechanical force. Never attempt to operate a damaged device or a device with damaged electrical parts! Only use accessories and spare parts for this device that comply with the technical specifications. If a part of the device or battery is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Battery safety instructions
Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use. Always replace the whole set of batteries at one time; taking care not to mix old and new ones, or batteries of different types.
