6. After completing the measurement, turn off power to the
circuit/device under test, discharge all capacitors and
disconnect the meter test leads.
6.2. Current Measurements
WARNING! These Snap-arounds are designed to take current
measurements on circuits with a maximum voltage difference of
600 V AC between any conductor and ground potential. Using
the snap-around for current measurements on circuits above this
voltage may cause electric shock, instrument damage and/or
damage to the equipment under test. Before measuring current
make certain that the test leads are removed from the
instrument.
The snap-around is overload protected up to 600 V AC for up to
1 Min. Do not take current readings on circuits where the
maximum current potential is not known. Do not exceed the
maximum current that this instrument is designed to measure.
1. Set Function Switch to 40 A, 400 A or 1000A AC or 40A,
400A or 1000A DC (P 1615 / P 1625).
2. Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp
them around a conductor. Jaws should be completely closed
before taking a reading.
3. The most accurate reading will be obtained by keeping the
conductor across centre of the transformer jaws.
4. The reading will be indicated on the display.
5. Reduce the range setting if too high until a satisfactory best
resolution reading it obtained.
