4.1 Preparation and safety measures
Fitting the battery
Before using the instrument, the battery must be fitted.
This is carried out as follows:
Separate the instrument from any circuit, and remove
the test leads.
Open the cover by removing the screw and push in
direction of the arrow.
Fit new batteries (type 1,5 V IEC LR03), taking care
that the polarity is correct. Make sure that no wires
are trapped between the cover, and close it again.
The instrument is now ready for use.
Before switching to a new function, the probes must
always be removed from UUT.
Use the instrument only in clean and dry surroun-
dings. Dirt and moisture reduce the effectiveness of
the insulation, with conse-quent danger of electric
shock, especially when dealing with high voltages.
Use the instrument only in the specified ranges.
Before making measurements, verify that the instru-
ment is functioning properly, for example by testing
on a known voltage or current.
Make sure that the test leads are undamaged.
The current clamp meter searches automatically for
the best measurement range (Auto-range function).
By using the key "RANGE" the measurement range can
set manually.
