Description
This current transducer is intended for measuring DC and AC current in automotive applications.
This ammeter clip is to be used in association with the multimeter
Its inner electronic components are power supplied from the multimeter.
Description
This ammeter clip ensures fast current measurement on vehicle cables, with a measuring outlet
fully insulated from the cable.
Its ergonomic and compact design makes it particularly suitable for this type of measurement.
Connection
The measurement outlet is made of a shielded cable with enhanced insulation for ensuring a service
voltage of 300V in Class III or 600V in Class II. The end of the 2m-length cable is fi tted
with a specifi c connector for use with the multimeter
Operation
Precautions
The ammeter clip is for interior use only.
- Conform to the maximum 600V voltage of a non-insulated conductor compared to the ground.
- Use the ammeter clip on conductors with current lower or equal to the maximum authorized
value in permanent mode, i.e. 200A peak or DC.
– Protect the ammeter clip from falling or from water spattering
– Do not disconnect the ammeter clip from the multimeter during measurement.
Procedure
Connect the ammeter clip to the multimeter.
Switch the ammeter clip on.
Reset to zero by maintaining pressure on the DCZero key for a long moment.
Actuate the release to open the jaws of the ammeter clip, then clamp the conducor while con-
forming to the the current direction (source side at low end of the arrow, and receiving side at tip
of arrow). Put back the ammeter clip in clamped position and check that it is well tightened and
centered on the conductor to ensure optimal measuring accuracy. Press the yellow key to select
AC or DC as desired. Record the value. Release the clip to open the jaws of the ammeter clip and
remove the latter from the conductor.
Maintenance
Before any maintenance operation, unclamp the ammeter clip and disconnect it from the external
equipment to which it is connected.
Maintenance of the magnetic circuit
Keep clip gaps clean at all times, using a soft non-fl uffy rag.
Maintenance of the case
Clean the ammeter clip with a rag slightly dampened with soapy water and rinse it with a rag
dampened with clear water. Never drop any water on the am
meter clip.Dry the apparatus using a dry rag or an air blowgun (max. temperature +70°C).
Control of calibration
The annual check of the device's measurement characteristics by an approved
organization is required.
