OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Fig. 1 for the main operating features of the
meter.
3.1 Switch On
Move the switch from the OFF / HOLD position to either
DC or AC to select the required mode of operation.
3.2 Zero Adjustment
When in DC mode the display zero may change due to
thermal shifts and other environmental conditions. An
auto zero adjustment is provided. Proceed as follows to
perform the adjustment:
• Ensure that the instrument is away from the current
carrying conductor and that the jaws are closed
during the adjustment cycle.
• Select the DC position of the power switch.
• Use the auto zero button to zero the display if
necessary.
The auto zero button can be used to null the effects of
the earth’s magnetic field on DC measurements.
3.3 Current Measurement
Select as required the DC or AC measurement option
using the power switch.
If necessary adjust the DC display to read zero as
described in section 3.2. Clamp the jaws of the instrument
around the conductor ensuring a good contact between
the closing faces of the jaws.
Observe and take measurements as required. Positive
output indicates that the current flow is in the direction
shown by the arrow on the instrument.
3.4 Data Hold
To activate the data hold, turn the power switch to the
OFF / HOLD position. The data will be held on the display
for approximately 10 seconds.
3.5 Auto Power Off
The meter will power down automatically after
approximately 8 minutes of inactivity.

Do not use the instrument if any part of it appears to
be damaged or if a malfunction of the instrument is
suspected.
When using the instrument ensure that your fingers are
behind the protective barrier see Fig. 1
Clean the case periodically by wiping it with a damp cloth
and detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Do not immerse the instrument in liquids.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
SAFETY WARNING
Before removing the battery cover,
make sure that the instrument is
removed from any live electrical circuit.
When the Low Battery symbol is illuminated in the
display the minimum operating battery voltage has been
reached. Refer to Fig.1. and use the following procedure
to replace the battery.
Unclamp the meter from the conductor, turn it off using
the OFF / Hold power switch. Loosen the captive screw
which secures the battery cover. Lift the cover through
30°and pull it clear of the instrument body as shown in
Fig1. The battery is then accessible. Replace the battery
and re-fit the battery cover and fasten the screw.
Replacement with other than the specified type of
battery will invalidate the warranty. Fit only Type 9 V PP3,
Alkaline (MN1604 ).
