Meaning of symbol
Caution! Please consult the User Manual before using the device.
In this User Manual, failure to follow or carry out instructions
preceded by this symbol may result in personal injury or damage
to the device and the installations.
Meaning of symbol
This appliance is protected by double insulation or reinforced
insulation. It does not have to be connected to an earth protection
terminal for electrical safety .
Meaning of CAT III symbol
This voltage surge category III clamp, with pollution level 2,
complies with stringent reliability and availability requirements,
corresponding to fixed industrial and domestic installations (see
IEC 664-1, ed 92).
Thank you for purchasing this “F03” series multimeter c lamp.
T o get the best service from this instrument:
n read this user’s manual carefully,
n respect the saf ety precautions detailed
■ Never use on circuits of over 600 V in relation to the earth which
have a surge category above III, i.e. fixed industrial and domestic
installations (cf. IEC 664-1).
■ Use indoors in environments with a pollution degree of
2 or less (cf. IEC 664-1), a temperature between 0°C to
+50°C and relative humidity of 70% or less.
■ Use accessories that comply with safety standards
(NF EN 61010-2-031), with a minimum voltage of 600 V and a surge
category of III.
■ Never open the clamp case without first disconnecting the unit from
the electricity supply.
■ Never connect to the circuit to be measured if the clamp case is not
properly closed.
■ Before taking a measurement, ensure that the leads and selector
switch are in the correct position.
■ When measuring current, ensure that the conductor is correctly
aligned with the marks and the jaws are properly closed.
■ Always disconnect the clamp from the electricity supply before
changing the battery.
■ Do not perform resistance measurements, continuity tests or tests
on semi-conductors on live circuits.

1. PRESENTATION
Reliability and simplicity are the key features of the F03
multimeter clamp for use by electricity professionals:
■ A compact instrument integrating a current sensor for
measuring intensity without switching off the power to the
circuit to be checked.
■ Exceptional ergonomic design which includes:
- automatic or manual selection of the type of signal to be
measured, direct or alternating,
- automatic selection of the measurement calibration,
- programmable buzzer warning when voltage is present: VLive,
- buzzer warning when the measurement range is exceeded,
- backlit digital display
- system to shut the instrument down automatically.
- MIN - MAX - PEAK value recording function,
- correction of measurement drift for direct current (zero DC)
- automatic offset of measurement lead resistance (zero Ω).
■ Compliance with IEC electrical safety standards and EC
marking
■ Light and robust for on and off-site use.

one of the other functions is selected
V Measurement of direct and alternating voltage
(RMS value)
Measurement of continuity , and, with the yellow ke y ,
resistance and semi-conductor tests
A Measurement of direct and alternating current
(RMS value)
T° Measurement of the clamp’s internal or external
temperature, according to the presence or absence
of a sensor, in °C or °F.
➂➂
➂ Control keys
➂➂
3 types of action are possible with these keys:
Short press
< 1.3 s, it is valid as soon as key activation is detected.
Long press
> 1.3 s, this enables the user to enter a measurement or
operating mode. Holding the key do wn or releasing it does
not have any effect.

Key held down
It enables the user to enter a measurement or operating
mode and to stay in this mode while the key is held do wn.
When the key is released, the user rev erts to the previous
mode used.
