1. Select the “

A

” position.

2. Open the jaws and clamp only one cable. Pay attention to the alignment marks (see

paragraph 4.1.2. and Fig. 9). The values of current and frequency are shown on main
and secondary displays.

3. The symbol "

O.L

" means that the measured voltage is higher than the full scale of the

instrument.

4. If the display is difficult to read, press D-H key to hold the measured value. To disable

this function press the D-H key again.

5. If the measurement is being performed in a dark environment, press and hold the

key for 1 second to activate the backlight. It automatically turns OFF after 5 seconds.


By pressing and holding the MAX/MIN/PK key for at least 1 second, the instrument
enables the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), average (AVG) and peak (PK)
measurement recording mode. All of these values are continually updated even if only one
is shown. Momentary MAX/MIN/PK key strokes will cycle the display through these
recorded values with their corresponding frequencies. To disable this function press and
hold pressed MAX/MIN/PK key at least for 1 second or turn the selector to any position.
