INTROdUCTION

The RS-1007 Pro and RS-3 Pro Analog Clamp-On meters are manual ranging
1000 / 600 ACA and 600 V clamp meter. The features include AC voltage, AC
current, and Resistance test ranges. Both clampmeters have a mechanical
needle clamp to prevent needle damage during transportation.

OPERATION

measuring AC Voltage (See fig. 1)

 CAUTION
Remove clamp jaws from wire before connecting to or measuring voltage.
1. Rotate the meter scale wheel to appropriate V
2. Using the V A Zero screw (front panel), adjust the needle for '0'.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to + and Black to COM.
4. Connect the test probes to the circuit test points.
5. Read the needle location on the meter scale and, if necessary, correct any
overload (needle pegged) conditions.

AC Current measurement (See fig. 2)

 CAUTION
disconnect test leads from circuit and meter if voltage was being tested.
1. Rotate the meter scale wheel to appropriate A
2. Using the V A Zero screw (front panel), adjust the needle for '0'.
3. Open spring-loaded clamp by pressing the lever on left side of meter.
4. Position clamp around one wire or conductor and release the clamp lever.
5. Read the needle location on the meter scale, and, if necessary, correct any
overload (needle pegged) conditions.
 CAUTION
Using Resistance or Continuity function in a live circuit will produce false
results and may damage the instrument. In most cases the suspected
component must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate
measurement reading.

measuring Resistance /Continuity (See fig. 3)

1. Rotate the meter scale wheel to
2. Turn off power to the circuit being measured and discharge any capacitors
in the circuit.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to + and Black to COM.
4. Short the test leads and adjust
5. Remove the short from the test leads.
6. Using the V A Zero screw, adjust the needle for
7. Connect the test probes across the resistance.
8. Read the needle location on the meter scale, and, if necessary, correct any
overload (needle pegged) conditions.

mAINTENANCE ANd REPAIR

If there appears to be a malfunction during the operation of the meter, the
following steps should be performed in order to isolate the cause of the
problem:
1. Verify the needle lock is disengaged (all the way to the left). Needle
should move when meter is moved.
2. Check the battery and fuse (ohms range only).
3. Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating
procedure.
4. Inspect and test the test leads for a broken or intermittent connection.
Except for the replacement of the fuse, battery or test probes, repair of the
multimeter should be performed only by a Factory Authorized Service Center
