Safety Information

!Caution! Refer to the explanation in this Manual

Double Insulation

This meter has been designed to be safe in use, but the operator must use caution in its operation.

The rules listed below should be carefully followed for safe operation.

1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:

2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with voltages greater than 60VDC or 25VAC rms.

These voltages are considerd a shock hazard.

3. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery/fuse door are in place and

fastened securely.

Operation

AC Current Measurements

1) Set the Function switch to the ACA range.

2) Press the jaw trigger and clamp around, fully enclosing a single conductor.

Do not allow a gap between the two halves of the jaw. Refer to the diagram

at right for the correct way to enclose a single conductor.

3) Read the ACA value on the LCD.

DC Current Measurements

1) Set the Function switch to the DCA range.

2) Press the ZERO key to null the meter display.

3) Press the Trigger to open the current sense Jaw.

4) Fully enclose the conductor to be measured. Do not allow a gap between the two halves of the

jaw.

5) Read the DCA value on the LCD.

Non-Contact AC Voltage Detection

1) AC Voltage detection operates on any of the four Function switch positions.

2) Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the electrical outlet.

3) If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, slowly slide the

probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live

conductor.

NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of energy

may randomly turn the detector light on. This is normal operation

Frequency Measurements

1) Set the Function switch to the Hz position.

2) Fully enclose the conductor to be measured. Do not allow a gap between the two halves of the

jaw.

3) Read the Frequency value on the LCD.

Flashlight

Press and hold the top button to turn the flashlight on. Release the button to turn the flashlight off.

Data Hold

To freeze the current reading on the LCD, press the “Hold / Backlight” key. The word HOLD will

appear on the LCD while the meter is in the Data Hold mode. To release the Data Hold function and

return the meter to normal operation, press the “Hold / Backlight” key again. The word HOLD will

switch off.

Backlight Display

Press and hold the “Hold / Backlight” key for more than 2 seconds to turn on the backlight. This will

also activate the Data Hold function. To release the Data Hold function and return the meter to normal

operation, press the Data Hold key momentarily. To turn off the backlight, press and hold the “Hold

Backlight” key for more than 2 seconds.

Yes

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a

known live circuit to verify proper operation
