6. Operation
NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation
manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position
when the meter is not in use.
6.1 AC/DC Current Measurements
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making
current clamp measurements.
1. Set the Function switch to the 2000A, 600A range. If the approx. range of the
measurement is not known, select the highest range then move to the lower ranges if
necessary.
2. Press the REL button to zero the meter display.
3. Use the MODE button to select AC or DC Current.
4. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose only one conductor. For optimum results,
center the conductor in the jaw.
5. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.
6.2 AC Voltage Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the
positive V .
. CAP . TEMP . Hz% . Ω terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the V~ position.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
4. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.
6.3 DC Voltage Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the
positive V .
. CAP . TEMP . Hz% . Ω terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the V- position.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
4. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.
6.4 Resistance
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the
V .
. CAP . TEMP . Hz% . Ω positive terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the Ω .

3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test.
4. Read the resistance on the LCD display.
6.5 Capacitance Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor under test before measuring.
1. Set the function switch to the CAP position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the V .
3.Touch the test probe tips across the part under test. If "OL" appears in the display,
remove and discharge the component.
4. Read the capacitance value in the display.
5. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
Note: For very large values of capacitance measurement it can take several minutes
before the final reading stabilizes.
6.6 Frequency Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the V .
2. Set the function switch to the V~ Position.
3. Press HZ/% button to select the Frequency (Hz) or Duty cycle (%).
4. Touch the test probe tips across the part under test.
5. Read the value on the display.
6. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
7. In Current mode, Press HZ/% button to select Frequency (Hz) or Duty cycle (%)Test .
6.7 Temperature Measurements
1. Set the function switch to the TEMP position.
2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative COM and the V .
Hz% . Ω positive jacks, observing polarity.
3. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the device under test. Continue to touch the part
under test with the probe until the reading stabilizes.
4. Read the temperature on the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper decimal
point and value.
5. Use the MODE button to select
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple probe has been removed
before changing to another measurement function.
