1. Safety Warnings ○This instrument has been designed and tested according to IEC Publication 61010: Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus. This instruction manual contains warnings and safety rules which must be observed by the user to ensure safe operation of the instrument and retain it in safe condition. Therefore, read through these operating instructions before starting using the instrument.
Following symbols are used on the instrument and in the instruction manual. Attention should be paid to each symbol to ensure your safety. # Refer to the instructions in the manual. This symbol is marked where the user must refer to the instruction manual so as not to cause personal injury or instrument damage. Indicates an instrument with double or reinforced insulation.
WARNING ●Never attempt to make any measurement, if the instrument has any structural abnormality such as cracked case 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 battery if the surface of the instrument is wet.
○Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories) To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CATⅠ to CATⅣ, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CATⅢ environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CATⅡ.
２．Features ●Tear-drop-shaped jaws for ease of use in crowded cable areas and other tight places. ●Accurate true-RMS reading of AC current or voltage with distorted waveform. ●Average function for easy reading of input with large variation. ●Auto-null function for easy zero adjustment. ●Provides frequency reading in AC current or voltage measurement. ●Auto-ranging feature on current, voltage and resistance ranges. ●Wide measuring range from 0 up to 2000A.
*Effective Value (RMS) Most alternating currents and voltages are expressed in effective values, which are also referred to as RMS (Root-Mean-Square) values. The effective value is the square root of the average of square of alternating current or voltage values. Many clamp meters using a conventional rectifying circuit have "RMS" scales for AC measurement. The scales are, however, actually calibrated in terms of the effective value of a sine wave though the clamp meter is responding to the average value.
