Measurements
DC Current measurement
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making
current measurements.
1. Set the function switch to 1000A, 400A or 40A range position and make sure that
the current under test does not exceed the upper limit of the measuring range you
have selected. The meter automatically defaults to DC current.
2. Press the Zero button once. The Δ sign will appear on the LCD indicating range is
zero.
3. Press the trigger to open up the current clamp jaws and clamp it around the single
conductor under test.
4. Read the display.
Note: During current measurements keep the transformer jaws fully closed, otherwise this
will affect the accuracy of the measurement.
When large currents are measured, the jaws may buzz. This is normal.
AC True RMS current measurement
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making
current measurements.
1. Set the function switch to 1000A~, 400A~ or 40A~ range position and make sure
that the current under test does not exceed the upper limit of the measuring range
you have selected.
2. Press the MODE button to select AC current range. The meter automatically
defaults to DC current.
3. Press the trigger to open up the current clamp jaws and clamp around the single
conductor under test.
4. Read the display
Note: During current measurements keep the transformer jaws fully closed, otherwise this
will affect the accuracy of the measurement.
When large currents are measured, the jaws may buzz. This is normal.
The meter is set to default Autorange”
Pressing the PEAK hold button will allow the user to record the peak maximum and
minimum reading on the AC volt range.
DC voltage measurement
1. Set the function switch to V~HZ range position. The meter will automatically
defaults to DC Volts.
2. Insert the red test lead into the V Ω TEMP HZ input terminal and the black test lead
to the COM terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the test leads to the circuit under test.
4. Read the display. If a – (minus) sign is displayed, reverse the polarity.
5. Read the display.
