# WARNING
● Never attempt to make measurement if any abnormal conditions,
such as broken case and exposed metal parts are found on the
instrument or cables.
● Verify proper operation on a known source before starting to use
the instrument or taking action as a result of the indication of the
instrument.
● Do not install substitute parts or make any modifications to the
instrument. Return the instrument to your local KYORITSU
distributor for repair or re-calibration in case of suspected faulty
operation.
● Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument
is wet.
● Ensure that the Clamp sensor is disconnected from the object
under test, and that the instrument is powered off when opening
the Battery compartment cover for battery replacement.
# CAUTION
● This instrument is designed for residential, commercial or light

Crossed-out wheel bin symbol (according to WEEE
Directive: 2002/96/EC) indicating that this electrical product
may not be treated as household waste, but that it must be
collected and treated separately.
● Measurement categories(Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as O 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.
O : Circuits which are not directly connected to the mains power
supply.
CAT II : 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 overcurrent protection device
(distribution panel).

5. Getting started
(1) Checking battery voltage
Set the Function switch to any position other than the OFF position.
When the indications on the display are clearly legible and the
" " mark is not on, the battery voltage is OK.
If the display is blank or " " mark is on, replace the batteries
according to Section 8: Battery Replacement.
# CAUTION
● When the instrument is left powered on, the Auto-power-off
function automatically shuts the power off; the display will be
blank even if the Function switch is set to any positions other than
the OFF position in this state.
To power on the instrument, rotate the Function switch or press
any of the buttons. If the display is still blank, the batteries are
exhausted.
Replace the batteries with the new ones.
(2) Checking Function switch position
Set the Function switch to the appropriate range according to the
measurement purpose. Confirm that the Data hold function is not
activating.
6. Operating instructions
# DANGER
● Never make measurement on a circuit in the following categories;
CAT IV over 600V
CAT III over 1000V
● Never open the Battery compartment cover while making
measurement.
● To avoid getting electrical shock by touching the equipment under
test or its surroundings, be sure to wear insulated protective
gears.
(1) Disconnect the Joint
connector according to
the illustration to the right.
(2) Clamp onto one conductor under the test, and re-connect the Joint
connector. Hold the conductor at the center of the Clamp sensor.
(3) Confirm that the Joint connector on the Clamp sensor is firmly
connected.
Note
● Jointed part of the Clamp sensor may be disconnected if excessive
force is applied to.
● Clamp onto one conductor only; measurements cannot be made
when clamping single-phase (2-wire) or three-phase (3-wire) at the
same time.
7. Other functions
7-1 Auto-power-off function
This function is to prevent the battery from being exhausted by the
instrument being unintentionally left on.
The instrument automatically shifts to the power-off state about 15
min after the last Function switch or other switch operation.
To exit from the Auto-power-off status, press any button or set the
Function switch to the OFF position once, and then set it to the
desired range.
“ ” mark is displayed on the LCD when the Auto-power-off
function is enabled.
[To cancel the Auto-power-off function]
To cancel the Auto-power-off function, hold down the Data hold
button and turn the Function switch from OFF position to any other
position.
While this function is disabled, “ ” mark is not displayed on the
LCD.
[To enable the Auto-power-off function again]
Turn the Function switch to the OFF, and then set it to any position.
7-2 Data hold function
This is a function to hold measured values on the display.
Press the Data hold button once to hold the current reading. In this
data hold state, the reading is held even if input varies. The " HOLD"
mark appears on the LCD. To exit the data hold state, press the
button again.
7-3 Backlight function
Press the Backlight button and turn on/ off the LCD backlight. The
backlight is automatically turned off in 30 sec.
7-4 MIN MAX function
Displayed values can be toggled in the following sequence by
pressing the “MIN MAX” button.
Maximum value (“ MAX” appears) - Minimum value (“MIN”
appears) – Present measured value (“ MAX MIN” blinks) -
Maximum value (“ MAX” appears) -…..
To disable this function, hold down the MIN MAX button at least 2
sec or rotate the Function switch.
8. Battery Replacement
# DANGER

is wet.
● Ensure that the Clamp sensor is disconnected from the object
under test, and that the instrument is powered off when opening
the Battery compartment cover for battery replacement.
● Never open the Battery compartment cover while making
measurement.
# CAUTION
● Do not mix new and old batteries or mix different types of batteries.
● Install batteries in correct polarity as marked inside.
Replace batteries with the new ones when the empty battery mark
“ ” is displayed on the LCD. The LCD does not show anything,
even the empty battery mark, when the batteries are completely
exhausted.
[ How to replace batteries ]
(1) Power off the instrument.
(2) Loosen the screw at the backside
of the instrument and remove the
Battery compartment cover.
