damage to the product.
In this section, it is assumed that you are familiar with the contents of the
documentation relating to the clamp meter adapter.
Measuring direct currents (DC)
1. Connect the testo 760 and clamp meter adapter to the test leads: black
test lead to the COM jack; red test lead to the V/Ω/diode/capacitance
jack.
2. Switch on the testo 760.
3. Activate mV DC measuring mode for voltage measurement: press []
4 times.
4. Switch on the clamp meter adapter.
- LED indicates readiness for operation.
5. Close the clamp jaws of the clamp meter adapter. Make sure that no
conductor is enclosed.
> Zero the clamp meter adapter: press [ZERO] <1 s.
6. Place the cables being measured centrally within the clamp.
- The measured value is shown on the LC display.
Measuring alternating currents (AC)
1. Connect the testo 760 and clamp meter adapter to the test leads: black
test lead to the COM jack; red test lead to the V/Ω/diode/capacitance
jack.
2. Switch on the testo 760.
