DANGER

●Never make measurement on a circuit with a voltage higher than 750VAC.
●Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gasses,

fumes, vapor or dust. Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause
sparking, which can lead to an explosion.

●Transformer jaw tips are designed not to short the circuit under test.

If equipment under test has exposed conductive parts, however, extra
precaution should be taken to minimize the possibility of shorting.

● Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
● Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement range.
● Never open the battery compartment cover when making measurement.

WARNING

●Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions are

noted, such as broken case, cracked test leads and exposed metal part.

●Do not turn the function selector switch with plugged in test leads connected

to the circuit under test.

●Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument.

Return the instrument to Kyoritsu or your distributor for repair or re-
calibration.

● Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.
●Always switch off the instrument before opening the battery compartment

cover for battery replacement.

CAUTION

●Make sure that the function selector switch is set to the appropriate position

before making measurement.

●Always make sure to insert each plug of the test leads fully into the

appropriate terminal on the instrument.

●Make sure to remove the test leads from the instrument before making

current measurement.

●Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme temperatures or

dew fall.

●Be sure to set the function selector switch to the "OFF" position after use.

When the instrument will not be in use for a long period of time, place it in
storage after removing the battery.

●Use a damp cloth and detergent for cleaning the instrument. Do not use

abrasives or solvents.

○ Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories)

To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010 establishes
safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to
CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories
correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a
measuring instrument designed for CAT III environments can endure greater
momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.

CAT Ⅰ: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical outlet

through a transformer or similar device.

CAT Ⅱ: Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC electrical

outlet by a power cord.

CAT Ⅲ: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly to the

distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.

CAT Ⅳ: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the

power meter and primary over-current protection device (distribution
panel).

5.Preparation for Measurement

5− 1 Checking Battery Voltage

Set the function selector switch to any position other than "OFF". When the

display is clear without "

BATT

" showing, proceed to measurement. When the

display blanks or "

BATT

" is indicated, replace the batteries according to the

instructions described in section 8. Battery Replacement.

NOTE

The sleep feature automatically turns the instrument off in a certain
period of time after the last switch operation. Therefore, the display
may be blank with the function selector switch set to a position other
than "OFF". To operate the instrument in this case, set the switch
back to the "OFF" position, then to the desired position, or press any
button. If the display still blanks, the batteries are exhausted. Replace
the batteries.

5−2 Checking Switch Setting and Operation

Make sure that the function selector switch is set to the correct position and

the data hold function is deactivated. Otherwise, desired measurement cannot
be made.

6.Measurement

6−1 AC Current Measurement

WARNING

●Do not make measurement on a circuit with a voltage higher than 750V AC.

Otherwise, shock hazard or damage to the instrument or equipment under
test may result.

●Transformer jaw tips are designed to minimize the possibility of shorting

conductors in the circuit under test. If equipment under test has exposed
conductive parts, however, extra precaution should be taken to avoid
possible shorting.

● Do not make measurement with the battery compartment cover removed.
●Do not make current measurement with the test leads connected to the

instrument.

● Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier during measurement.

(1) Set the function selector switch to the "400A" or "600A" position.
(2) Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp onto one

conductor only.

(3) Take the reading on the display.

Note

:

◇During current measurement, keep the transformer jaws fully closed.

Otherwise, accurate measurement cannot be made. The maximum
conductor size is 33mm in diameter.

◇When measuring a larger current, the transformer jaws may buzz. This

does not affect the instrument's accuracy.

6−2 AC Voltage Measurements

DANGER

●Never use the instrument on a circuit with a voltage higher than 750VAC.

Otherwise, electric shock hazard or damage to the instrument or the circuit
under test may result.

● Do not make measurement with the battery compartment cover removed.

(1) Set the function selector switch to the "400V" or "750V" position. "
(2) Plug the red test lead into the V terminal and the black test lead into the

COM terminal.

(3) Connect the test lead prods to the circuit under test and take the reading

on the display.

6−3 Resistance Measurement

DANGER

● Always make sure that the circuit under test is powered off.
● Do not make measurement with the battery compartment cover removed.

(1) Set the function selector switch to the "Ω/

" position.

(2) Plug the red test lead into the Ω terminal and the black test lead into the

COM terminal.

(3) Check that the display reads "OL". With the test lead prods shorted

together, also check that the buzzer beeps and the display reads "0" .

(4) Connect the test lead prods to the circuit under test and take the reading

on the display. The buzzer beeps the reading is below about 50 Ω.

NOTE

◇When shorting the test lead prods together, the display may show a very

small resistance instead of "0". This is the resistance of the test leads.

◇ If one of the test leads has an open, the display reads "OL".

7. Other Functions

7−1 Sleep Function

NOTE

The instrument still consumes small amount of battery power in the sleep
mode. Make sure to set the function selector switch to the OFF position after
use.

This is a function to prevent the instrument from being left powered on in order to
conserve battery life. This function causes the instrument to automatically enter
the sleep (powered-down) mode about 10 minutes after the last switch or button
operation.
To exit the sleep mode, turn the function selector switch back to "OFF", then to any
other position, or press any button.

How to disable the sleep function:

To disable the sleep function, power on the instrument with the Data Hold
button pressed. "P.OFF" is shown on the display for about 3 seconds after the
instrument is powered on.
To enable the sleep function, power the instrument off, then power it on
without pressing the Data Hold button.

7−2 Data Hold Function

This is a function used to freeze the measured value on the display. Press the

Data Hold button to freeze the reading. The reading will be held regardless of
subsequent changes in input. "

H

" is shown on the upper left corner of the

display while the instrument is in the Data Hold mode.

To exit the Data Hold mode, press the Data Hold button again.

NOTE

:

◇If the instrument in the Data Hold mode enters the sleep mode, the Data

Hold mode will be cancelled.

8.Battery Replacement

WARNING

To avoid electric shock hazard, make sure to set the function selector switch to
"OFF" and remove the test leads from the instrument before trying to replace
the batteries.

CAUTION

● Do not mix new and old batteries.
●Make sure to install battery in correct polatiry as indicated inside the battery

compartment.

When "

BATT

" is shown on the display, replace the batteries. Note that

when the battery is completely exhausted, the display blanks without "

BATT

"

shown.

(1) Set the function selector swith to the "OFF" position.
(2) Unscrew and remove the battery compartment on the bottom of the

instrument.

(3) Replace the batteries observing correct polarity. Use two new R03 or

equivalent batteries.

(4) Mount and screw the battery compartment cover.
