leads. With Capacitance, Diode and Duty Cycle measurements, this meter provides the user

with a full featured multimeter combined with the high amperage current clamp. This meter is

shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

SAFETY

Safety Symbols

This symbol, adjacent to another symbol or terminal, indicates the user must

refer to the manual for further information.

This symbol, adjacent to a terminal, indicates that, under normal use,

hazardous voltages may be present

Double insulation

WARNING: This indicates that a potentially hazardous condition which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: This indicates that a potentially hazardous condition which, if not avoided,

could result in injury or damage to the meter Reply to request.

Safety Precautions

1. WARNING: Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death.

Read and understand this user’s manual before operating the meter.

2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and secured.

3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before

operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.

5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.

6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC

rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before

performing Capacitance, Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long periods.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Current Measurements using the Clamp, DC/AC

WARNING: Make sure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter’s terminals

before making current measurements with the clamp jaw.

WARNING: For safety, use the rubber input terminal cover when measuring current

using the Clamp.

1. Set the Function switch to 2000A position.

2. Press the FUNC key to select AC or DC current

3. For DC current measurements,

push & hold the DCA ZERO button

until the reading indicates zero.

4. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully

enclose the conductor to be

measured (see diagram).

5. The clamp meter will automatically

select the proper range (Auto

Range). To select the range

manually, press the RANGE button

before pressing DCA ZERO button.

6. Read the measured value from the

LCD display.

NOTE: If the DCA zero button is used to zero the meter, the clamp meter remains in the

auto-range mode. If the REL button is used, the clamp meter will be placed in the

manual range mode.

Current Measurements using the Test Leads, DC/AC

1. Set the Function switch to the mA or µA position.

2. Press the FUNC key to select AC or DC.

3. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the

red test lead to the mA µA input jack.

4. Break the circuit under test (put the meter in series with

circuit under test) refer to diagram.

5. Read the measured value from the LCD display.

NOTE: The maximum reading for direct input current is 240mA

AC/DC.

Voltage Measurements, DC/AC

1. Set the Function Switch to the V

position.

2. Press the FUNC key to select AC or DC.

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM

input jack and the red test lead into the

Vinput jack.

4. Connect the test leads in PARALLEL

with the circuit to be measured (see

diagrams).

5. Read the measured value from the LCD

display.

Resistance Measurements

CAUTION: Before taking any in-circuit resistance measurements

remove power from the circuit under test and discharge all

capacitors.

1. Set the Function switch to the Ωposition.

2. Press the FUNC key until the ohms symbol appears on LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red

test lead to the Ωinput jack.

4. Connect test leads to the device under test (see diagram).

5. Read the measured value from the LCD display.

Continuity Test

1. Set the Function switch to the position.

2. Press the FUNC key until the "Ω" and " " symbols appear on the display.

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red test lead to the Ωinput

jack.

4. Connect the test lead tips to the device to be measured (refer to diagram for

resistance measurements above).

5. Read the measured value from the LCD display.

6. If the resistance is < 10Ωapprox. an audible signal will be heard.

Diode Test

1. Set the Function switch to the diode position.

2. Press the FUNC key until the symbol appears on the LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red test lead to the input

jack.

4. Connect the test lead tips to the diode. A typical diode forward voltage drop will

indicate 0.3 to 0.7V. The reverse drop will indicate "OL", indicating high impedance.

Proper diode check should include both forward and reverse tests.

Frequency Measurement

1. Set the Function switch to the Hz position.

2. Press the FUNC key until the "Hz" symbol appears on the LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red test

lead to the Hz input jack.

4. Connect the tips of the test leads to the device to be measured

(see diagram).

5. Read the frequency value in Hz on the LCD.

Duty Cycle Measurements

Follow the steps as for Frequency measurements with the following exception: Press the

“Hz/%” key until the “%” symbol appears on the display.

Capacitance Measurement

1. Set the Function switch to the position.

2. Press the FUNC key until the "nF" symbol appears on the LCD.

3. Insert the black test lead to the COM input jack and the red test

lead to the red input terminal.

4. Connect the tips of the test leads to the device to be measured

(see diagram).

5. Read the capacitance value on the display.

NOTE: When making very low capacitance measurements, use the

REL function to zero any stray capacitance.

Automatic / Manual Range Selections

The meter defaults to the autoranging mode when turned on. "AUTO" will appear in the

display. To select manual ranging, press the RANGE key. Momentary presses of the

RANGE key will step through the ranges. To return to the Auto Range mode, press and

hold the RANGE key for 2 seconds.

Relative Reading Measurements

Press the REL key to enter the relative mode. "REL" will appear in the display. In the

relative mode, the meter stores the reading that was on the display at the time of the

REL key is pressed and displays the difference between the measured value and the

stored value

Press the REL key to return to normal mode.

Data Hold / Backlight key

Press the HOLD key momentarily to freeze the present reading on the LCD."H" will

appear in the display. Press HOLD again to return to normal operation.

Backlight

Press and hold the Hold key for 2 seconds to activate the backlighting. The backlight

will automatically turn off to conserve energy after approx 12 seconds.

MAINTENANCE

Battery Replacement

When the low battery symbol appears on the LCD, replace the meter’s 9V battery.

1. Remove power to the meter and remove test leads from meter

2. Remove the Phillips head screw (back of meter) and open the battery compartment.

3. Remove and replace the 9V battery.

4. Replace the compartment cover and rear screw.

Fuse Replacement

NOTE: Fuse Rating: 500mA (5mm x 20mm diameter)

1. The meter is provided with one overload protect 500mA fuse for current

measurements (direct input NOT clamp measurements).

2. To replace the fuse, open the meter case by removing the battery cover and battery

and then the four screws holding the rear case.

3. The fuse is located on the Main PCB.
