1. Safety warnings

This instrument has been designed, manufactured and
tested according to IEC 61010: Safety requirements for
Electronic Measuring apparatus, and delivered in the
best condition after passing quality control tests. This
instruction manual contains warnings and safety rules
which have to be observed by the user to ensure safe
operation of the instrument and to maintain it in safe
condition. Therefore, read through these operating
instructions before using the instrument.

WARNING

● Read through and understand instructions contained

in this manual before using the instrument.

● Keep the manual at hand to enable quick reference

whenever necessary.

● The instrument is to be used only in its intended

applications.
The operating instructions described in the manual
must be observed.

● Understand and follow all the safety instructions

contained in the manual.
It is essential that the above instructions are adhered
to. Failure to follow the above instructions may cause
injury and or instrument damage.

The symbol indicated on the instrument, means that
the user must refer to the related parts in the manual
for safe operation of the instrument. It is essential to
read the instructions wherever the symbol appears
in the manual.

DANGER is reserved for conditions and actions that
are likely to cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING is reserved for conditions and actions
that can cause serious or fatal Injury.
CAUTION is reserved for conditions and actions that
can cause minor injury or instrument damage.

DANGER

● Never make measurement on a circuit in which the

electrical potential exceeds AC300V.

● Do not make measurement when thunder rumbling. If the

instrument is in use, stop the measurement immediately
and remove the instrument from the measured object.

● Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of

flammable gasses. Otherwise, the use of the instrument
may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.

● The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips

are not completely insulated. Be especially careful
about the possible shorting where the measured
object has exposed metal parts.

● Never attempt to use the instrument if it's surface or

your hand are wet.

● Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any

measuring range.

WARNING

● Never attempt to make any measurement, if any

abnormal conditions are noted, such as broken case,
and exposed metal parts.

● Do not install substitute parts or make any

modification to the instrument.
Return the instrument to the distributor from who you
purchased this instrument for repair or re-calibration in
case of suspected faulty operation.

● Always keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier

on the instrument to avoid the possible shock hazard.

CAUTION

● Do not step on or pinch the cord to prevent the jacket

of cord from being damaged.

● The output connector shall be removed or connected

without clamping a conductor. Otherwise, it may cause
a failure.

● Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, high

temperatures, humidity or dew.

● Never give shocks, such as vibration or drop, which

may damage the instrument.

● 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, IEC
61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical
environments, categorized as CATto CAT, and called
measurement categories.

Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy, so a
measuring instrument designed for CATenvironments
can endure greater momentary 0energy than one
designed for CAT.

CAT: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC

electrical outlet through a transformer or similar
device.

CAT: Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected

to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord.

CAT: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment

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

CAT: The circuit from the service drop to the service

entrance, and to the power meter and primary
overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).

2. Features

5. Operating instructions

DANGER

● Never make measurement on a circuit in which the

electrical potential exceeds AC300V in order to avoid

possible shock hazard.

● The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips

are not completely insulated. Be especially careful

about the possible shorting where the measured

object has exposed metal parts.

.

CAUTION

● Take sufficient care to avoid shock, vibration or

excessive force when handling the instrument.

Otherwise, precisely adjusted transformer jaws will be

damaged.

●When transformer jaws do not fully close, never try to

close them by force, but make them free to move and

try again. If a foreign substance is stuck in the jaw tips,

remove it.

● When making current measurements, keep the

transformer jaws fully closed.

Otherwise, accurate measurements cannot be taken.

● Hold the inserting part (except for the cable) and

disconnect the Output connector from the measuring

instrument so as not to cause a break in the cord.

● When measuring current which pulse element is

superposed, differences of the indicated value may

be caused between ranges, if the peak value exceeds

the measurement range to a large extent. In this

case, the reading at the bigger range should be taken

as a right value. Sensitive transformer jaws are used

for Leakage clamp meter. Because of the

characteristics of transformer jaws, which can be

opened and closed, it is impossible to eliminate the

interference of external magnetic field completely. If

there is a presence of strong magnetic field, use the

instrument at a distance as far as possible from it.

Following are the typical things generating magnetic

field.

・Conductor fed large current

・Motor

・Equipment which has magnet

・Integrating wattmeter

5-1 Measuring method

(1) Connect the Output connector to the Input terminal of

the measuring instrument.

(2) Press the Trigger to open the transformer jaws and

clamp onto one conductor.

In this case, the measured conductor shall be at the
center of the jaws.

(3) Ensure that the tips of transformer jaws are firmly closed.

5-2 Measuring method

(1) Measuring out of balance leakage current (See

Fig.1):Clamp onto all conductors except a grounded
wire.

(2) Measuring earth leakage current (See Fig.2):Clamp

onto a grounded wire.
