Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 382060 True RMS Clamp-on Power
Meter. This device measures True RMS Voltage, Current, Power, Frequency,
Resistance/Continuity, and Phase Angle. The built-in datalogger stores up to 1600
readings. Optional PC software permits meter-to-PC data transfers. An optional 3-phase
adapter provides kW, kVA, or PF measurements of unbalanced loads. Careful use of
this meter will provide years of reliable service.
Safety
• Read the following safety information carefully before using or servicing the meter
• Do not exceed the maximum input limits published in the specifications below.
• Never measure current while the test leads are inserted in the meter's input jacks.
• Do not use the meter or the test leads if either appears damaged.
• Use extreme caution when working near bus bars or bare conductors.
• Built-in safety protection may be impaired if meter is not used per user's manual.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60VDC or 30VAC RMS.
• Before resistance/continuity measurements, disconnect power/loads from the circuit.
WARNING: This indicates that a potentially hazardous condition which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: This indicates that a potentially hazardous condition which, if not avoided,
could result in injury or damage to the meter.
