this equipment. Failure to understand how to safely operate this
tool can result in an accident causing serious injury or death.
This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in an injury or property damage. The signal word, defined below, indicates the
severity of the hazard. The message after the signal word provides information for
preventing or avoiding the hazard.
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result in severe injury or death.
Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in severe injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY result in injury or property
damage.
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or death.

Important Safety Information
Electric shock and fire hazard:
• Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
• Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged.
• Use test leads or accessories that are appropriate for the application. See the
category and voltage rating of the test lead or accessory.
• Inspect the test leads before use. They must be clean and dry, and the insulation
must be in good condition.
• Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as described in this
manual. Any other use can impair the protection provided by the unit.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
• Do not operate with the case open.
• Before opening the case, remove the test leads (or jaw) from the circuit and shut off
the unit.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between any two input terminals, or
between any input terminal and earth ground.
• Do not contact the test lead tips or any uninsulated portion of the accessory.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

Important Safety Information
• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity.
See Specifications.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in injury and can damage the unit.
Do not change the measurement function while the test leads are connected to a
component or circuit.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury and can damage the unit.
• Unless measuring voltage, current, or frequency, shut off and lock out power.
Make sure that all capacitors are discharged. Voltage must not be present.
• Set the selector and connect the test leads so that they correspond to the intended
measurement. Incorrect settings or connections can result in a blown fuse.
• Using this unit near equipment that generates electromagnetic interference can
result in unstable or inaccurate readings.
The fuse and fuse jacket are integral parts of the overvoltage protection. When fuse
replacement is necessary, see Specifications for the correct type, size, and capacity.
Using any other type of fuse or omitting the jacket will void the overvoltage protection
rating of the unit.
Failure to observe this warning can result in severe injury or death.

Operation
For highest accuracy:
• Lay the meter flat on a non-metallic surface, away from any magnetic objects.
• Read the scale straight on — not at an angle.
• If possible, select a range that results in a reading in the upper 1/3 of the scale.
1. Unlock the pointer.
2. Zero the meter as follows: With the test leads disconnected, adjust the Zero Adjustment
Screw to set the pointer to the far right side of the scale.
3. Before taking a resistance measurement, set the meter to Ω. Connect the tips of the test
leads together and read the meter. Use the Ohms Adjustment Knob to set the needle to the
far left side of the scale (zero ohms).
Note: If you cannot zero the meter, replace the battery. If you cannot zero the meter after
replacing the battery, send the unit to Greenlee for repair.
4. See the Settings Table. Set the selector to the proper setting and connect the test leads to
the meter. Start with the highest measurement setting.
5. See Typical Measurements for specific measurement instructions.
6. Test the unit on a known functioning circuit or component.
• If the unit does not function as expected on a known functioning circuit, replace the
battery and/or fuse.
• If the unit still does not function as expected, send the unit to Greenlee for repair. See
the address shown under Warranty.
7. Take the reading from the circuit or component to be tested. If the resolution is not
satisfactory, remove the meter from the circuit and change to the next lower range.
Note: Use the pointer Lock to hold the measurement, if desired.

Typical Measurements
Clamp Around Wire
Notes:
• Clamp the jaw around one conductor only.
• Close the jaw completely to ensure
accurate measurement.
• Center the wire in the jaw for highest
accuracy.
Clamp Around Line Splitter
Notes:
• The Greenlee 93-30 Line Splitter is divided.
One section renders amps; the other
renders amps multiplied by 10.
• Close the jaw completely to ensure
accurate measurement.
• Center the line splitter in the jaw for highest
accuracy.
