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

closed and no foreign body is caught in the space between
the jaws.
In DC measurement, the arrow "➭" engraved on the jaws
must be pointing in the presumed direction of the current

To measure current with a low value, first correct the zero.
- Press the HOLD key and hold down until zero is displayed.
The corrected value will then be saved and deducted from
the value of the current subsequently measured.
Note: this correction is only made to the continuous zero
component. If the value measured is over 6 A, this
correction is inhibited and the value of the correction saved
is reset to zero.

3.7.1 Without a sensor
Set the selector switch to the "T°" position.
The temperature displayed is the instrument’s inter nal
temperature (the INT symbol is lit), which is the same as the
ambient temperature after a sufficient thermal stabilisation time.
It can be expressed as °C or °F: the unit is chosen with the
yellow key.
3.7.2 With a sensor
1. Connect the sensor (couple K) to the clamp terminals,
complying with the polarity indicated, and put in the place
where the temperature is to be measured.
2. Set the selector switch to the “T” position. The temperature
displayed is that of the sensor (EXT symbol is lit), it can be
expressed in °C or °F: the unit is chosen with the yellow

3.8 Secondary functions
3.8.1 Blocking the display
A short press on the HOLD key freezes the display.
The display is cleared when the key is pressed f or the second
time.
31
3.8.2 Preselection of MIN/MAX mode
MIN/MAX mode is preselected by a short press on the HOLD
key and then on the MIN/MAX key. MIN/MAX mode is then
activated by pressing on the HOLD key.
This function allows MIN/MAX mode to be selected when
required, to avoid for example, the inclusion of untimely or
erroneous MIN/MAX values
3.8.3 Automatic offset of lead resistance
To offset lead resistance, hold the HOLD key down when the
continuity test or resistance measurement function is selected.
When the key is released, once zero is displayed, the
correction value is saved in the clamp.
If the value measured is over 2
and the value of the correction saved is reset to zero.
This correction is inhibited in MIN/MAX mode.
3.8.4 Automatic zero offset when measuring current
To offset the zero, hold the HOLD key down when current
measurement function is selected.
ΩΩ
Ω, this correction is inhibited
ΩΩ
When the key is released, once zero is displayed, the
correction value is saved in the clamp.
If the value measured is over 6 A, this correction is inhibited
and the value of the correction saved is reset to zero.
This correction is inhibited in MIN/MAX mode.
3.8.5 Manual selection of AC or DC mode
The clamp defaults automatically to AC or DC mode (AC or
DC symbol flashes) for V and A functions.
A series of short presses on the yellow key allows alternating
(AC) and continuous (DC) measurement to be selected
manually and to return to automatic mode.
When the mode is selected manually, the AC or DC symbol
is continuous.
It is impossible to select manual mode in MIN/MAX or HOLD
modes.
3.8.6 Selections possible in the continuity function
By default, the clamp is set to the continuity function ( ) for
the corresponding position of the switch.
With a series of presses on the yellow key, the user can select
resistance measurement (Ω) then the semi-conductor test
function ( ) and then return to the continuity function ( ).
3.8.7 Choice of units (°C or °F) when measuring
temperature
The unit can be chosen from the temperature function by a
short press on the yellow key, which allows °C or °F to be
selected as required. The unit is not sa ved when the clamp is
turned off. See § 3.8.8 to save the unit to memory.
32
3.8.8 Saving the unit (°C or °F) when measuring
temperature
Hold the yellow key down and turn the selector switch from
the OFF to the T° position.
The instrument buzzes twice, then the T° symbol lights up
and the °F symbol flashes if the instrument was previously in
°C or the °C symbol flashes if it was in °F.
The configuration chosen is saved when the key is released:
the °F or °C symbol remains lit continuously.
3.8.9 Deactivation of automatic shutdown
Hold the HOLD key down and turn the selector switch from
the OFF position to the position.
The instrument buzzes twice then the P symbol flashes.
The configuration chosen is saved when the key is released:
the P symbol remains lit continuously.
The instrument returns to automatic shutdown mode when
the switch is placed in the OFF position.
3.8.10 Activation of the V-Live function
Hold the HOLD key down and turn the selector switch from
the OFF position to the V position.
The instrument buzzes twice then the V and symbols start
to flash.
The configuration chosen is saved when the key is released:
the V symbol then remains continuously lit and the symbol
flashes.
Follow the same procedure to deactivate the V-Live function:
the symbol is no longer lit when the key is released.
3.8.11 Modification of the buzzer threshold indication
for continuity tests.
Hold the yellow key down and turn the selector switch from
the OFF to the position.
The instrument buzzes once, the Ω and symbols and the
threshold value light up (default value 40.0).
It can then be set between 1 Ω and 40 Ω by a series of presses
on the yellow key (short press: in increments of 1 Ω; key held
down: in increments of 10 Ω).
Once the value is chosen, activate the selector s witch to save .
3.8.12 Setting the instrument’s default parameters.
Hold the yellow key down and turn the selector switch from
the OFF to the A position.
The instrument buzzes twice then all the segments of the
digital display and the symbol flash.
The default settings are saved when the key is released: the
display stops flashing and the symbol disappears.
33
The default settings are:
- Buzzer threshold: 40 Ω
- Auto shutdown: with
- V-Live function: none
- Temperature measurement unit: not managed
3.8.13 Date of the instrument’s last calibration.
Hold the MIN/MAX key down and turn the selector switch
from the OFF position to the V position.
The instrument buzzes, then the instrument’s calibration date
is displayed in the form “week - year” (WW.YY) as long as the
MIN/MAX key is held down.
3.8.14 Display of the internal software version.
Hold the HOLD key down and turn the selector switch from
the OFF position to position A.
The instrument buzzes and the software version is displayed
in the format UX.XX for two seconds, then replaced by a
display of all the display’s segments while the HOLD key is
held down.
3.8.15 Display of the display’s segments
See § 3.8.1.4. It is also possible f or all key-s witch combinations
not previously described.

7. MAINTENANCE
For maintenance, use only specified spare parts. The
manufacturer will not be held responsible for any accident
occuring following a repair done other than by its After
Sales Service or approved repairers.
7.1 Changing the battery
The clamp must be disconnected from any external
source of electricity and must not encircle a cable.
■ Put the switch into the OFF position
■ Slide a screwdriver into the slot at the top of the battery
flap (at the back of the clamp) and push the battery flap
upwards.
■ Replace the dead battery with a 9 V battery, type LF22,
ensuring that the polarity is respected.
■ Replace the battery in its housing, then replace the battery
flap.
7.2 Storage
If the clamp is not to be used for a period of more than 60
days, remove the batteries and store them separately.
7.3 Cleaning
The clamp must be disconnected from any external
source of electricity and must not encircle a cable.
■ T o clean the casing and jaws, use a cloth slightly moistened
with soapy water. Clean off with a damp cloth. Then dry
quickly with a cloth or pulsed air.
■ Do not splash water onto the clamp.
■ Ensure that the space between the jaws is kept perfectly
clean.
7.4 Metrological verification
It is essential that all measuring instruments are regularly
calibrated.
For checking and calibration of your instrument, please contact
our accredited laboratories (list on request) or the Chauvin
Arnoux subsidiary or Agent in your countr y.
Maintenance
Repairs under or out of guarantee: please return the product
to your distributor.
