OPERATION MANUAL
This LCD Auto Range & Auto Power off Digital AC clamp multi
meter is a portable, 3 3/4-digit multi meter. It is ideally suited for
field, laboratory, shop and home applications.
1. SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to in sure
maximum personal safety during the operation at this meter.
1) When measuring voltage ensure that instrument is not
switched to the current range, resistance range, diode and
continuity range, capacitance range or temperature range.
2) Use extreme care when measuring voltage above 50V.
especially from sources where high energy is existed.
3) Avoid making connections to "live" circuits whenever possible.
4) Before making resistance measurements, diode or continuity
test, capacitance test or temperature test, ensure that the circuit
under test is de-energized.
5) Always ensure that the correct function and range is selected.
6) Extreme care should be taken when using the instrument to
conjunction with a current transformer connected to the terminals
if an open circuit occurs.
7) Ensure that the test leads and probes are in good condition
with no damage to the insulation.
8) Take care not to exceed the over-load limits as given in the
specifications.
9) Before opening the cover of the battery cabinet to replace
batteries. disconnect the test leads from any external circuit, set
the selector switch to "OFF" position.
10) Keep the fingers after the protection ring when
measuring through the instrument lead.
11) Change the battery when the symbol appears to avoid
incorrect data.

3. MEASURING INSTRUCTION
3.1 DC Voltage measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test
lead to the "" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired "mV" or "V" position and
connect the probes across the source or load under measurement.
3) Read the result from the LCD panel.
3.2 AC Voltage measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test
lead to the "" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired "V" position and connect
the probes across the source or load under measurement.
3) Read the result from the LCD panel.
3.3 AC Current measurement
1) Set selector switch to desired "A" position.
2) Open the clamp by pressing the jaw-opening handle and insert
the cable (one cable only) to be measured into the jaw.
3) Close the clamp and get the reading from the LCD panel.
Note:
a) Before this measurement, disconnect the test lead with the
meter for safety.
b) In same occasion that the reading is hard to read, push the
D.HOLD button and read the result later.
3.4Resistance measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test
lead to the "" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired "" position, the present
function is resistance measurement, if it is other function, push
the SELECT to select resistance measurement.
3) Connect the probes across circuit to be tested.
4) Read the result from the LCD panel.
Caution: Ensure that the circuit to be tested is "dead". Max.
input over-load: 250V rms10sec
3.5 Capacitance measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test
lead to the "" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired "CAP" position.
3) Connect the probes to the capacitance to be tested.
4) Read the result from the LCD panel.
Caution:
a) Capacitors should be discharged before being tested.
b) This device adopts charging mode to measure capacitance, so
when testing large capacitance, it will take longer time before the
final indication, and the larger capacitor, the longer the time (For
100uF range, it will take about 15 seconds).
c) When testing small capacitance, to assure the measurement
accuracy, first press "REL", then go on measuring.
Max. input over-load: 250V rms10sec
3.6 Frequency measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test
lead to the "" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired "Hz" position.
3) Connect the probes to the point of measurement and read the
frequency from the display.
4) Push "Hz/DUTY", you can measure the duty. Press again, go
back to frequency measurement.
Max.input over-load: 250V rms10sec
3.7 Diode test
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test
lead to the "" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to " " position.
3) Push "SELECT" to select diode test.
4) Connect the black and red test probe to the cathode (-) and
anode (+) ends of diode to be tested respectively, read the
forward voltage drop (junction) value from the display. If reverse
connected the probes to diode, display shows over-load.
Caution: Ensure that the circuit to be tested is "dead".
