Optional Clamp Adaptor
To Use Accessories:
Clamp adapters allow multimeters the versatility to measure
large amounts of current safely through a clamphead. IDEAL
clamp adapters convert amps measured into mV signals that the
multimeter can display. Since the clamp adapters convert the
amps measurement into mVAC, the clamp adapter leads must
be inserted into the volts and com inputs and the meter must
be set to the mVAC range. The conversion ratio is one-to-one
(1Amp=1mV). So, when the meter displays 50.0 mV, the clamp
adapter is measuring 50.0 Amps.
I
nstructions for Use:
1. Connect the Current Clamp to the digital multimeter by
plugging the red test lead into the Volts input and the
black test lead into the COM input on the meter.
(See diagram above.)
2. a. Select 200 mVAC range for measuring less than 200 Amps.
b. Select 2000 mVAC range for measuring more than 200
Amps.
3. Snap the jaw of the current clamp around one of the current
carrying conductors.
4. Take the reading.
