Insulation Test
(requires external 500V insulation tester unit)
20MΩ 10kΩ
2000MΩ 1MΩ
Continuity
• If the resistance is less than about 50Ω, the built-in buzzer
will sound
• Between 50 Ω and 100 Ω resistance, the buzzer may
not sound
• At 100 Ω or more, the buzzer will not sound
Clamp Meter Safety
WARNING
The following are important safety points to avoid electric shock, personal injury and
electrocution.
IMPORTANT: When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes
IMPORTANT: When an input terminal is connected to a dangerous live voltage, this voltage
can occur at other terminals on the meter
IMPORTANT: Some functionality of this tool is only suitable for those skilled in electrical
work. If in doubt about your capabilities, do not use this tool
a) Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Inspect the case. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the connectors
b) Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. It may give a false safe measurement. If
in doubt, have the meter serviced
c) Inspect the test leads and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check
the test leads for continuity regularly to prevent dangerous false readings. Replace damaged
test leads before you use the meter
d) Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapour or dust
e) Do not use in wet or damp conditions and ensure the meter and test leads are
completely dry before use. If using outside with open electrical connections, ensure they
are protected from the possibility of rain
f) Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter,
between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground
g) Do not exceed the rated voltage and current indicated on the test leads
h) Use caution when working with voltages above 30V ac rms, 42V peak, or 60V dc.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard
i) Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you
disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first
j) Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case removed or
loosened
k) Do not touch any exposed conductor directly with hands or skin
l) Do not use the supplied test leads with other equipment. This could damage the test
leads or the other equipment and create a safety hazard
m) Do not hold the meter beyond the clamping guard. Keep your fingers behind the
raised plastic edge next to clamp mechanism
n) Do not change settings or make adjustments to the meter close to live cables or
exposed conductors. Change settings and make adjustments in a safe area
o) Do not ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Ensure you are isolated
by wearing rubber shoes with no part of your body resting against an earthed surface, for
example pipes, fixtures etc.

Intended Use

A hand-held battery-powered clamp multimeter optimised for electrical AC and DC voltage
measuring. Also measures AC current using a single conductor within the clamp mechanism
typically found in commercial or industrial installations. Certified for CAT. I & II use. Not
suitable for CAT. III & IV. Secondary functions are resistance measurement and an audible
continuity check.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing
or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Inserting Battery
Note: When the battery has low charge
important the battery is replaced before use to prevent erratic and incorrect measurement.
1. Remove the screw and slide the battery compartment cover forward as indicated (Fig. III)
2. Fit a new 9V 6F22 (PP3) battery (branded alkaline recommended) ensuring the polarity is
correct as indicated in the battery compartment
3. Slide the compartment cover back on and refit the screw
Connecting test leads
For all modes except AC current measurement the test leads need to be fitted.
1. Remove the Test Lead Connector Covers (11) if fitted
2. Connect the black Test Lead Connector (14) to the COM Socket (6)
3. Connect the red Test Lead Connector to the Voltage/Resistance Socket (8) for AC and DC
voltage measurement resistance measurements and continuity checks
Operation
Note: The dial has duplicated range positions on the left and right side. There is no functional
difference between using the same value on the left or right side.
Data Hold Button
• Press in the Data Hold Button (3) to keep a reading on the LCD screen that has been
measured. Release the Data Hold Button to allow a new measurement to be shown
IMPORTANT: Before measuring (especially a high voltage or current), test a known value
(voltage, current or resistance) to ensure the meter is working correctly with any danger
indicated.
