Measuring Temperature
This measurement function is applicable for the U1194A
model only.
Set up your clamp meter to measure temperature as shown
in Figure 2- 20. Probe the test points, and read the display.

WARNING
Do not connect the thermocouple to electrically live circuits. Doing
so will potentially cause fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated
bending over a period of time can break the leads.
NOTE
• The clamp meter uses the type-K thermocouple probe (included in the
standard shipped items of a U1194A model) for measuring temperature.
• The approximate ambient temperature (cold-junction compensation) is
shown on the display when you have an open thermocouple. The open
thermocouple message may be due to a broken (open) probe or
because no probe is installed into the input jacks of the clamp meter.
• Shorting the terminal to the terminal will display the
temperature at the clamp meter’s terminals.
