3. Detected electric field signal strength is indicated by a series of bar-
graph segments on the lower display and beeper. The stronger the
electric field detected, the more bar-graph segments are displayed and
the more intense the beep sounds.
Measuring AC Current
Warning
W
To avoid electrical shock and injury:
• Do not hold the meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
• Do not use the meter to measure currents above the maximum rated
frequency (400Hz). Circulating currents may cause the magnetic circuits
of the jaws to reach hazardous excessive temperatures.
Voltage can be measured at the same time by using the V/COM terminals
while the jaws are measuring current. Lower display shows voltage
measurement. Also see Measuring AC and DC Voltage section.
To measure AC current:
1. Turn the rotary switch to any function to power on
the meter. The default current measurement mode
is AC A (upper display).
2. Open the clamp by pressing the jaw release and
insert the conductor to be measured into the clamp.
Ensure the jaws are firmly closed.
3. Center the conductor using the jaw alignment
marks.
4. View the current reading on the upper display.
W Caution
During current measurement keep the jaws away from
other current-carrying devices such as transformers,
motors or energized wires, as they may negatively
influence accuracy of the measurement.
