SYMBOLS Battery W Refer to the manual T Double Insulated J Earth Ground B Alternating Current F Direct Current P Complies with EU directives R Audible tone , Application around and removal from hazardous live conductors is permitted ; Conform to relevant Australian standards = Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste ) Canadian Standards Association (NRTL/C) Safety Information • The ACD-22SW and ACD-23SW True RMS swivel Clamp meters conform to EN61010-1:2001; EN61
• Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere. • To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. • The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC, 42.4 Vpk, or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Your shipping carton should include: 1 ACD-22SW or ACD-23SW TRMS Swivel Clamp Meter 1 Set of Test leads 1 Soft Carrying Case 1 Users Manual 1 Type K Thermocouple probe (Model ACD-23SW only) 2 1.5V AAA Batteries (Installed) If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange.
OPERATION AUXILIARY FEATURES Push Button °F/°C/R/e Button (ACD-23SW only) °F/°C/R/e Use the “°F / °C “ button to select the °F or °C Temperature ranges. Use the “R/e“ button to select the Resistance or Continuity ranges HOLD. HOLD Button Data hold freezes the reading present on the LCD at the moment the button is pressed.To use this menu feature, set up the meter for the type of measurement and range desired.
4. Read the voltage on the primary display and the frequency on the secondary display. If necessary, correct any overload (OL) conditions. AC Current Measurement 1. Set the Function Switch to position ?. 2. Open spring-loaded clamp by pressing the jaw opening lever on the left side of meter. 3. Position clamp around one wire or conductor. Release the jaw opening lever. Wire should be center inside the jaws. Refer to Fig.3 4.
Continuity Testing 1. Set the Function Selector knob Switch to R (ACD-22SW) or “e / R “ to select the continuity test. Use the Auxiliary features push button (°F/°C/ R/e) to select continuity (ACD-23SW) 2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM. 3. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. 4. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the reading. 5. Connect the test probes across the resistance or the two points of test 6. Listen for the tone that indicates continuity (< 25e).
Non-Contact Voltage Indicator 1. Remove the test leads from the meter. Push the “NCV” button at any selected function/Range. Then the display will be shut down and LED flashes with a short “chirp” sound for self-test. Refer to Fig. 7 2. With the NCV tab on the tip of the clamp close to an AC voltage, Press the “NCV” button, the NCV LED will light and the beeper will beep. The closer you get to AC voltage, the louder the beep. Auto Power off 1. Auto power off: approx. 10 minutes. 2.
