modification to the instrument. For repair or re-
calibration, return the instrument to your local
distributor from where it was purchased.
Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of
the instrument is wet.
Disconnect all the cords and cables from the
object under test and power off the instrument
before opening the Battery Cover for Battery
replacement.
Verify proper operation on a known source before
use or taking action as a result of the indication of
the instrument.
CAUTION
Set the Function Switch to an appropriate position
before starting measurement.
Firmly insert the test leads.
Disconnect the test leads from the instrument for
current measurement.

temperature is within 0 and 40.
This instrument isn't dust & water proofed. Keep
away from dust and water.
Be sure to power off the instrument after use.
When the instrument will not be in use for a long
period, place it in storage after removing the
batteries.
Use a cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent
for cleaning the instrument. Do not use abrasives
or solvents.
Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments,
IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various
electrical environments, categorized as CAT. to
CAT., and called measurement categories.
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy, so a
measuring instrument designed for CAT.
environments can endure greater momentary energy
than one designed for CAT..
CAT.Ⅰ: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an
AC electrical outlet through a transformer or
similar device.
CAT.Ⅱ: Primary 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 over current protection device
(distribution panel).

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. The calibration is done with a
conversion factor of 1.111 for sine wave, which is
found by dividing the effective value by the average
value. These instruments are therefore in error if the
input voltage or current has some other shape than
sine wave.

3-3. Function Keys
The "" mark shows available function at each
Range.
4. Preparation for measurement
4-1. Checking Battery Voltage
Set the Function Switch to any position other than
"OFF".When the display is clear without "BATT" mark,
showing battery voltage is enough. When the display is
blank or "BATT" mark is indicated, replace the batteries
according to Section 7, Battery Replacement.
CAUTION
The Sleep feature automatically powers the
instrument off in about 15 min after the last switch or
key operation. Therefore, the display may be blank
even with the Function Switch set to a position other
than "OFF". To operate the instrument in this case,
turn the switch back to the "OFF" position, then to
any other position. Replace the batteries if nothing
was displayed after above operations.
4-2. Checking Switch Setting & Operation
Confirm the Function Switch is set to the correct
position,the instrument is set to the correct
