OVERVIEW
A. Clamp: Measure inductive AC current. Opens to 0.76” (19.10mm).
B. Conductor Alignment Marks: Used to aid the visual alignment of a
conductor when measuring inductive amperage. Greatest accuracy is
achieved when the conductor inside the clamp is centered at the intersection
of these marks.
C. Category Max Indicator: Maximum CAT Rating for Clamp.
D. Hand Guide: Used as a point of reference for the operator’s safety.
E. Clamp Lever: Opens and closes current clamp. Do not allow fingers or objects
to become pinched in the clamp as it closes.
• CAUTION: When sliding the clamp lever, be careful not to inadvertently
press any button when gripping the meter. That will place the meter in a
mode that was not desired.
F. Hold Button:
• Press once to enable Hold. Press again to return to live readings.
• Captures present value.
• Press and hold the Hold button when meter is in Hold mode to disable
Auto power off mode. Press and hold again to enable Auto power off mode.
• When powering on the meter using this button, the meter will default to
last mode used when meter was powered off.
G. Ohms/Continuity Button:
• Ohms: Press to enter Ohms measurement mode.
• Continuity: Press again to enter Continuity measurement mode.
• AC Amps: Press again to enter AC Amps measurement mode.
H. AC/DC Volts Button:
• AC Volts: Press to enter AC Volts measurement mode.
• DC Volts: Press again to enter DC Volts measurement mode.
• AC Amps: Press again to enter AC Amps measurement mode.
• Press and hold to power off meter.
I. Display
J. Category Max Indicator: Maximum CAT Rating for test lead connections to
meter.
K. Test Leads: Permanent test leads.
• Multifunction test lead used for measuring: AC or DC volts, Resistance
and Continuity.
L. Serial Number
M. Battery Cover: Easy access for replacing batteries.
N. Battery Cover Latches: Convenient, quick opening.
O. Test lead holders: For storing test leads when not in use.
