Measurement Operation
note: Remove plugs from
ends of Test Leads (included)
before connecting to Meter�
current Measurement
WarninG! To avoid electric shock,
use only one hand to hold Meter
when measuring current�
WarninG! Remove test leads
before taking measurements
with the Current Clamp�
note: Amperage is always tested
in series with circuit under test�
note: To measure 2- and 3-wire power
cords, use an AC Line Splitter (not included)
and follow its instructions�
ac/Dc current
Measure AC and DC conductors
carrying up to 1000 amperes�
1�
Turn the Rotary Switch to the
60/600 or
depending on the amperage of
the conductor under test�
2�
Always start with the highest range
if the amperage is unknown�
3�
Using one hand, press Trigger to
open Current Clamp� Position Clamp
jaws around conductor to be tested�

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
note: Test Lead probes have removable
covers for overvoltage protection� With
covers in place, Test Leads are rated for
use with CAT IV circuits� Exposed probes
are rated for use with CAT II circuits�
note: When using manual range
mode, always start with the highest
range if the amperage is unknown�
note: Center conductor between
guides in Clamp jaws, as shown�
note: When measuring DC current,
ensure that current flows in the direction
indicated by the Positive (+) and Negative
(-) Symbols on the Current Clamp�
4�
Read measurement� Switch to
lower ranges, as necessary, to
get the most accurate reading�
5�
When testing is complete, turn
Rotary Switch to OFF, and store Meter�
note: If the Display shows OL while in
manual range mode, the measurement
has exceeded the selected range� A
higher range should be selected�
