CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Warning
● Read the user manual before operating and
follow all safety information.
● Only use the meter as specified in this user
manual.
● Never use this meter on a circuit with volt-
ages greater than 600Vrms @ 50/60Hz,
CAT IV or 1000V, CAT III.
● Never measure current while the test leads
are connected to the input jacks.
● Do not operate the meter if the body or test
leads look damaged.
● Check the rotary range switch and make
sure it is at the correct position before each
measurement.
● Do not perform resistance and continuity
test on a live circuit.
● Use extreme caution when measuring live
systems with voltages greater than 60VDC or
30VAC.
● Use extreme care when working around bus
bars and bare conductors.
● Do not use the meter in over range/overload
conditions ( ).
● For accurate readings, change the battery
when the symbol appears.
PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The AEMC® Models 670 and 675 are general purpose
professional clamp-on meters that measure up to the
toughest standards. These meters offer a complete set of
measurement ranges (AC Amps, DC Amps [675 only], AC
Volts, DC Volts, Ohms, Continuity with beeper, Frequency
from V or A, and Temperature) and are in compliance
with international safety and quality standards to ensure
professional and reliable measuring tools.
The Model 670 and 675 are True RMS clamp-on meters
that provide RMS measurements for today’s non-linear
electrical environments.
