Ermenrich Ping MK30/MK50 Digital Clamp Meter
Please carefully read the safety instructions and the user manual before using
this product, otherwise it may result in hazardous laser radiation and
electric shock. 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 (14) and insert 3 AAA batteries according
to the correct polarity. Close the cover.
Usage
Press the power button (6) and hold it for 3 seconds to turn the device
on/off. The calibration will be carried out automatically. When turned on, it
displays Auto (Automatic mode) and enters the Smart (Auto) measurement mode.
In this mode, AC/DC current, AC/DC voltage, resistance, and continuity can be
measured. Press the FUNC/AUTO button (7) to switch between the functions:
A – AC (MK30) and AC/DC (MK50) measurement;
V – voltage measurement (in V);
– resistance measurement;
– continuity test;
– diode test;
mV – voltage measurement (in mV);
Hz% – frequency and duty cycle measurement;
– capacitance measurement;
°C/°F – temperature measurement;
NCV/LIVE – non-contact voltage and live wire detection.
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 MAX/MIN button (8) to switch between maximum and minimum values (for
current, voltage, and resistance measurements only).
Press and hold (8) for 3 seconds to exit this function.
Press the SEL/INRUSH button (9) to select the function and inrush current
measurement as well as to reset the display to zero (for DC measurement mode
only).
Press the H/ button (13) to hold the display readings (H appears on the
screen). Press and hold (13) for 3 seconds to turn the flashlight on/off.
AC/DC measurement
Press (7) to switch to the A mode. Press (9) 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 (9) 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 display
(10).
To measure AC inrush current, press (9) until INRUSH appears on the screen.
The measurement time of inrush current is about 100ms.
For the following measurements using test leads, select the required operation
mode. Plug the black test lead into the COM jack (11) and the red test lead
into the INPUT jack (12).
Voltage measurement (in V)
Press (7) to switch to the V mode. Press (9) until AC or DC appears on the
screen. Connect the probes to the measuring points.
The measurement results will appear on the LCD display (10).
When measuring the AC voltage, the frequency will be displayed.
Resistance measurement
Press (7) to switch to the Ω mode. Connect the probes to the resistance
measuring points of circuit or resistor. The measurement results will appear
on the LCD display (10).
Before measurement, make sure that the power supply is disconnected and the
capacitor in the circuit is completely discharged.
Continuity test
Press (7) to switch to the mode. Connect the probes to the circuit or
component to be tested. The measurement results will appear on the LCD display
(10).
If the resistance is <50Ω, an acoustic signal will be emitted continuously and
the green LED indicator (4) will light up.
Diode test
Press (7) to switch to the mode. 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 display (10).
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.
Voltage measurement (in mV)
Press (7) to switch to the mV mode. Press the SEL/INRUSH (9) until AC or DC
appears on the screen. Connect the probes in parallel to the power supply or
load to be measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD display
(10).
When measuring the AC voltage, the frequency will be displayed.
Frequency and duty cycle measurement
Press (7) to switch to the Hz% mode. Connect the probes to the measuring
points or in parallel to the circuit to be measured. The measurement results
will appear on the LCD display (10).
Capacitance measurement
Press (7) to switch to the mode. Connect the probes to the capacitance to be
measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD display (10).
Temperature measurement
Press (7) to switch to the °C/°F mode. Press (9) to switch between °C and °F.
Plug the black test lead of K-type thermocouple into the COM jack (11) and the
red test lead into the INPUT jack (12). Connect the thermocouple probe to the
object to be measured. The measurement results will appear on the LCD display
(10).
When using the included K-type thermocouple, temperature measurement range is
–40… +260°C / –40… +500°F.
Non-contact voltage detection (NCV)
Press (7) to switch to the NCV/LIVE mode. 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
Press (7) to switch to the NCV/LIVE mode. Press (9) until LIVE appears on the
screen. Plug only the red test lead into the INPUT jack (12). 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. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –). Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Remove used batteries promptly. Never short-circuit batteries as this may lead to high temperatures, leakage, or explosion. Never heat batteries in order to revive them. Do not disassemble batteries. Remember to switch off device after use. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, to avoid risk of ingestion, suffocation, or poisoning. Utilize used batteries as prescribed by your country’s laws.
