Introduction
The ACD-14 PLUS and ACD-14 TRMS-PLUS are digital clampmeters that measure both AC
and DC voltage, AC current, Resistance, Frequency, Continuity and Diode Test. Frequency
can be measured in the voltage and current modes.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Safety Information
• The ACD-14 PLUS Series Digital Clampmeters conform to EN61010-1:2001; EN610102-032:2002; CAT III 600 V, class 2 and pollution deg.2
• This instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category III (600V). It is recommended for use in distribution level and fixed installations, as well as lesser installations, and not for primary supply lines, overhead lines and cable systems.
• Do not exceed the maximum overload limits per function (see specifications) nor the
limits marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 600 Vdc/600 V ac rms
between the test lead and earth ground.
WARNING
• Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
• Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing meter functions.
• Inspect the Clampmeter, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use any
damaged part.
• Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit elements or test probe tips.
• 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 or 30 VAC
rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.
• Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
• Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the test
leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held part during measurement.
• Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal
before using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately.
• This Clamp-on meter is designed to apply around or remove from uninsulated
hazardous live conductors. Individual protective equipment must be used if
hazardous live parts of the installation could be accessible.
• Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10 mA // AC
power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical storms // current,
4
when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >1000 V // servicing CRT
equipment.
• Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal
injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator () appears.

OPERATION
CAUTION
The Hz button will alternate the display between the voltage function selected and
frequency reading.
Measuring DC Voltage - See Figure 1
1. Set the Function Switch to V.
2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM.
3. Connect the test probes to the circuit test points.
4. Read the display, and if necessary, correct any overload (0L) conditions.
Measuring AC Voltage - See Figure 2
1. Set the Function Switch to V.
2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM.
3. Connect the test probes to the circuit test points.
4. Read the display, and if necessary, correct any overload (0L) conditions.
5
Measuring AC Current - See Figure 3
1. Set the Function Switch to A position.
2. Open spring-loaded clamp by pressing the lever on left side of meter.
3. Position clamp around one wire or conductor and release the clamp lever. Make sure
that the clamp is entirely closed. The clamp must be positioned around only one conductor. If it is placed around two or more current carrying conductors, the reading is
FALSE.
4. Read the displayed value, and if necessary, correct any overload (0L) conditions.
Measuring Frequency - See Figure 3
The Voltmeter detects the frequency of the voltage applied to the test leads.
1. Set-up AC voltage measurement and press the Hz button.
2. Read the frequency value on the display .
CAUTION
Using the Resistance, Continuity, Diode or Capacitance functions on a live circuit will
produce false results and may damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected
component must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement
reading.
Measuring Resistance - See Figure 4
1. Set the Function Switch to Ω.
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 inuence the reading.
5. Connect the test probes across the resistance.
6. Read the display. If 0L appears on the highest range, the resistance is too large to be
measured or the circuit is an open circuit.
6
Continuity Testing - See Figure 5
1. Set the Function Switch to Ω and press the SELECT button until is displayed.
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 (>10 Ω and < 120 Ω).
Testing Diodes - See Figure 6
1. Set the Function Switch to Ω and press the SELECT button until is displayed.
2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM.
3. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.
4. Free at least one end of the diode from the circuit.
5. Connect the test probes across the diode noting polarity.
6. Read the display. A good diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.6 V. An open
or reverse biased diode will read .0L.
Measuring Capacitance - See Figure 7
1. Set the Function Switch to Ω and press the SELECT button until is displayed.
2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM.
3. Turn OFF power to the circuit being measured.
4. Discharge the capacitor using a 100 kΩ resistor.
5. Free at least one end of the capacitor from the circuit.
6. Connect the test probes across the capacitor.
7. Read the display.
8. Relative zero mode can be used to zero out the parasitic capacitance of the leads
and the internal protection circuitry of the meter when measuring low capacitance
in the order of Pico Farad (pF).
Measuring Temperature - See Figure 8
1. Set the Function Switch to °F / °C and press the SELECT button until correct temperature range is displayed.
2. Connect the thermocouple to the input jacks: + to +, - to COM.

Measuring μA Current - See Figure 9
1. Set the Function Switch to and press the SELECT button for AC or DC is displayed.
2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM.
3. Turn OFF power to the circuit being measured and break the circuit for connecting
test leads.
4. Turn ON the circuit and read the display.
μA Current function
Application notes:
The DCμA function is designed especially for HVAC/R ame sensor applications. The
0.1μA resolution is useful for identifying the minute current changes in ame detector
applications. Flame signal current check should indicate steady ame signal of at least
2μA for a rectication type, or 1.5μA for an ultraviolet type (8μA for self checking
systems). If a ame signal current with inadequate strength or uctuation beyond 10%,
check the following to avoid the risk of unwanted ame relay dropout :
1-1) For gas or oil flames (Minipeeper):
• Low supply voltage
• Detector location
• Defective detector wiring
• Dirty viewing windows
• Faulty Minipeeper
1-2) For oil flames (Photocell):
• Detector location & wiring
• Smoky flame or poorly adjusted air shutter
• Faulty Photocell
• Temperature over 165 °F (74 °C) at photocell
1-3) For gas flames (Flame Rod):
• Ignition interference (A flame signal current difference with the ignition both on
and off greater than 0.5μA indicates the presence of ignition interference)
• Insufficient ground (must be at least 4 times the detector area)
• Flame lifting off burner head (ground), or not continuously in contact with the
flamerod
• Temperature in excess of 600 °F (316 °C) at the flame electrode insulator causing
short to ground.

FEATURES
HOLD / MAX
The HOLD feature freezes the display when the button is pressed. The MAX feature
compares and displays the measured maximum value as fast as 30ms with auto-ranging
capability.
HOLD
Press the HOLD button momentarily toggles to hold mode for the ACA function. To
release the HOLD feature momentarily press the HOLD button.
MAX
Press the HOLD button for 1 second or more activates the MAX HOLD feature for the
ACA function. To release the MAX HOLD feature press the HOLD button for 1 second or
more.
Auto Power Off (APO)
When the meter is on, the Auto Power Off (APO) feature will switch the meter into a
sleep mode automatically to extend battery life after approximately 30 minutes of no
slide-switch nor push button operations. To wake up the meter from APO, press the
buttons momentarily or set the slide-switch to the OFF position and then slide back on
again. Always set the slide-switch to the OFF position manually when the meter is not in
use.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from circuit, remove the test leads from
the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate the
meter with open case.
Trouble Shooting
If the instrument fails to operate, check batteries and test leads etc., and replace as
necessary. Double check operating procedure as described in this user’s manual.
The voltage and resistance measurement circuits are protected by fusible resistors and
a parallel high resistance path. If the instrument voltage-resistance input terminal has
been subjected to high voltage transients (caused by lightning or switching surges in the
system), the series fusible input resistors will open like fuses and the voltmeter will read
approximately 85% of the actual value and cause the resistance range to not work. The
meter voltage reading (approximately 15% low) will let the user know that the meter has
been damaged, and the circuit under test is active.

Refer to the LIMITED WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or service.
Cleaning and Storage
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives
or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the
battery and store separately.
Battery replacement
The meter uses two 3V IEC-CR2032 coin batteries. Remove the test leads and loosen the
two screws from the case bottom and remove the bottom case. Slide the battery out the
side of the holder and replace with a new battery (observe polarity). Replace the bottom
case. Re-fasten the screws.
