Maintenance
Provided it is used in accordance with the users manual, the instrument needs no
special maintenance.
Cleaning
If the instrument is dirty after daily usage, it is advised to clean it by using a humid
cloth and a mild household detergent.
Prior to cleaning, ensure that instrument is switched off and disconnected from
external voltage supply and any other instruments connected (such as UUT,
control instruments, etc.).
Never use acid detergents or dissolvants for cleaning.
Changing the battery
Prior to storage battery replacement, disconnect the instrument from any
circuits.
Only use batteries as described in the technical data section.
• If the symbol for Low-battery appears in the upper left corner of the display, the
battery must be changed.
This is carried out as follows:
1) Separate the Meterman Leakage Clamp AC50 from any circuit, and remove the
test leads.
2) Switch the instrument off
3) Open the housing by removing the 3 screws on the rear face.
4) Remove the old batteries
5) Insert a new batteries (type 2 x 1,5 V IEC LR6), taking care that the polarity is cor-
rect. Make sure that no wires are trapped between the 2 halves of the housing,
and close it again.
6) The instrument is now ready for further use.
Please consider your environment when you dispose of your one-way batteries or
accumulators. They belong in a rubbish dump for hazardous waste. In most cases,
the batteries can be returned to their point of sale.
Please, comply with the respective valid regulation regarding the return, recy-
cling and disposal of used batteries and accumulators.
If an instrument is not used over an extended time period, the batteries must be re-
moved. Should the instrument be contaminated by leaking battery cells, the instru-
ment has to be returned for cleaning and inspection to the factory.
