AC/DC TRMS CLAMP METER
1.Introduction
• The True RMS Clamp Meter measures DC Current up to 1000A and AC Current up to 3000A.
• Other functions include AC/DC Voltage, Resistance, Continuity, Diode Test, Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle
and Temperature.
• A built-in flashlight and non-contact AC voltage detector provide added convenience.
• Bluetooth communication allows readings to be displayed and stored on mobile devices.
• This meter is fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide many years of reliable service.
2.Safety
2-1.International 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.
This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may result
damage to the product.
2-2.PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I: Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I is equipment for connection to circuits in
which measures are taken to limit the transient overvoltages to an appropriate low level.
Note: Examples include protected electronic circuits.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II: Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming equipment to be
supplied from the fixed installation.
Note: Examples include household, office, and laboratory appliances.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III: Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed installations.
Note: Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some equipment for industrial use with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV: Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin of the installation.
Note: Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment.

2-3.Safety Notes
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.
• Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.
• Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use.
• Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.
WARNINGS
• Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.
• When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.
• Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V.
• When changing ranges, always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
CAUTIONS
• Always remove the test leads before replacing the batter
• Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user
manual before operating the meter.
y or fuses.
• Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Diode, Resistance
• 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.
• Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC, these voltages
are considered a shock hazard.
or Continuity tests.
• Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection
to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not “live”.
• Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended; they can be dangerous for children if they
use them as toy
• This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous objects, as well as small
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
parts which children could swallow. In the event parts are swallowed, seek medical help immediately.
s.
• In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent them
from draining.
• Expired or damaged batteries can damage skin. Wear suitable gloves when handling.
• See that the batteries are not short-circuited, do not throw batteries into fire.

4-1.Data Hold
• Press the HOLD/Backlight Button again to return to normal oper
• To freeze the LCD reading, press the HOLD/Backlight Button. While data hold is active, the HOLD icon appears
on the LCD.
ation.
4-2.LCD Backlight
• The LCD is equipped with backlighting for easier viewing, especially in dimly lit areas.
• Press and hold the HOLD/Backlight Button for two seconds to turn the backlight on or off
