Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current measure-
ments.
1 Set the function switch to 1000 A or 400 A or 40 A range position. and make sure that the current
under test does not exceed the upper limit of the measuring range you have selected. The meter
automatically defaults to DC Current.

appear on the LCD indicating Range is zero.
3 Press the trigger to open up the transformer jaws and
clamp around the single conductor under test.

• During current measurements keep the transformer
jaws fully closed, otherwise this will affect the
accuracy of the measurement.
• When large currents the transformer jaws may buzz.
This is not a fault and does not affect the accuracy
of the reading.
