INSTRUCTION MANUAL MCP4 1-800-547-5740 • Fax: (503) 643-6322 www.ueitest.com • email: info@ueitest.
Introduction The MCP4 includes 5 amperage ranges to give you precise readings on low or high amp circuits. It also includes volts and ohms readings to give you the complete picture of your circuit path. Features include • 10 ranges • 300 Amps AC • 750 Volts AC • Resistance to 1000 ohms • Color-coded, high res scale-plate • Pointer-lock switch (data hold) • 1-1/4” jaw capacity Safety Notes Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully.
Operating Instructions Measuring AC Current When measuring current, always be sure the “SEL ECTOR” switch is set to the appropriate AMP range. When in doubt, always use the highest current range first. The switch can always be reset to a lower range for a more precise reading. AC current measurements are made on the red A MP scales on the scale plate. Clamp the jaw of the MCP4 around a single circuit wire. NOTE: Clamp only one wire at a time for measurement.
Battery Replacement The purpose of the internal 1.5 V, size “AA”, battery is to supply power tot he circuit under test while making resistance measurements. Eventually the battery will age to the point where it will not be possible to zero the meter with the “OHM ADJ” control. When this happens the battery should be replaced. Observe the proper battery polarity when replacing the battery. It is recommended that the battery be removed if the MCP9A is not to be used for a long period of time.
MCP4 Clamp-On Meter Limited Warranty The MCP4 is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of purchase. If within the warra n ty period your instrument should become inoperative from such defects, the unit will be repaired or replaced at UEi’s option. This warra n ty covers normal use and does not cover damage which occurs in shipment or failure which results from alteration, tampering, accident, misuse, abuse, neglect or improper maintenance.
