Safety

3.1 General Safety Information

This user manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the instrument safely and maintaining the instrument in a safe oper­ating condition. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the man­ufacturer, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
The meter protection rating, against the users, is double insulation per UL/ IEC/EN61010-1 Ed. 3.0, IEC/EN61010-2-033 Ed. 1.0, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1 Ed. 3.0, IEC/EN61010-2-032 Ed. 3.0 & IEC/EN61010-031 Ed. 1.1: Measurement Category IV 1000V AC & DC.
Per IEC61010–1 OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II (CAT II) is for equipment intended to be sup­plied from the building wiring. It applies both to plug-connected equipment and to PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III (CAT III) is for equipment intended to form part of a building wiring installation. Such equipment includes socket outlets, fuse panels, and some MAINS installation control equipment.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV (CAT IV) is for equipment installed at or near the origin of the electrical supply to a building, between the building entrance and the main distribution board. Such equipment may include electricity tariff meters and primary over-current protection devices.

3.2 Safety Terms Used In This Manual

WARNING: Identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even death to the user.
CAUTION: Identifies conditions and actions that could cause damage or mal­function in the instrument.

3.3 Warning and Caution Statements

WARNING
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.

Safety
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Keep hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the test leads) 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. Use only the test leads provided with the equipment (or UL Listed probe assemblies rated CAT IV 1000V or better).
WARNING
The accompanied test probe assembly meets UL/IEC/EN61010-031 Ed. 1.1 to the same meter ratings or better. IEC 61010-031 requires exposed conductive test probe tips to be ≤ 4mm for CAT III & CAT IV ratings. Refer to the category markings on your probe assem­blies as well as on the add-on accessories (detachable Caps or Alligator Clips, etc.), if any, for applicable rating changes.
WARNING
This Clamp meter is designed for clamping around or removing from non-insulated, haz­ardous live conductors. Nonetheless, individual protective equipment must be used when hazardous live parts in the installation, where the measurement is to be made, could be accessible.
WARNING
Remove test leads from the meter before taking clamp measurements.
CAUTION
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing meter functions.
CAUTION
Do not use the device for a procedure that it is not intended for. This can cause damage to the protection built into the instrument.

Meter Operation

NOTE
Before operating the device, you must read, understand, and follow all instructions, dangers, warnings, cautions, and notes.
NOTE
When the meter is not in use, the function switch should be set to the OFF position.
NOTE
When connecting the probe leads to the device under test, connect the negative lead before connecting the positive lead. When removing the probe leads, remove the positive lead be­fore removing the negative lead.
NOTE
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source (such as line voltage) to determine proper meter functionality.

5.1 Powering the Meter

Set the function switch to any position to power the meter ON.
If the low battery voltage warning is displayed, or if the meter does not power ON, replace the batteries. See Section 6, Maintenance, for battery replace­ment details.

5.2 Auto Power OFF (APO)

The APO feature switches the meter OFF after approximately 34 minutes of inactivity. The meter will beep to alert you when it is about to power OFF, press the MODE button to extend the APO time. If the meter powers OFF, turn the rotary switch to the OFF position first and then to an operational position to switch back ON.

5.3 Automatic and Manual Ranges

The meter uses automatic ranging by default. To manually select a measure­ment range, short press the RANGE button to exit the Auto mode. Subse­quent, short presses will step through the available ranges. Long press the RANGE button to return to the Auto Range mode. When the Auto Range mode is active, the Auto Range symbol is displayed.

5.5 Display Hold Function

After taking a measurement, short press the HOLD button to freeze a reading. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal operation. The H icon will appear when the display hold function is engaged.

5.6 Display Backlight

Long press the backlight button
to turn ON the display backlighting. Long press again to switch the backlight OFF. The backlight switches OFF auto­matically after approximately 25 seconds to conserve battery energy.

5.7 AC and DC Voltage Measurements

5.8 LoZ Voltage Measurements

WARNING
In LoZ mode, the input impedance increases quickly from the initial 2.5kΩ to a few hun­dred kΩ’s on high voltage signals. Peak initial load current, while testing 1000 V AC for ex­ample, can be as high as 566 mA (1000 V x 1.414 / 2.5kΩ), decreasing to roughly 3.37 mA (1000 V x 1.414 / 420kΩ) within a fraction of a second. Do not use LoZ mode on cir­cuits that could be damaged by such low input impedance. Use the standard high input im­pedance voltage modes to minimize loading on such circuits.
CAUTION
Use caution when the measured voltage is greater than 30V DC or AC rms.
LoZ Voltage measurements eliminate the affects of ‘ghost’ voltages. The pro­cedure for taking LoZ Voltage measurements is essentially the same as for taking standard Voltage measurements, the only difference is that for LoZ Voltage measurements you select the LoZ rotary switch position and you must take into consideration the effect low impedance will have on circuitry that you test (read Warning statement above). Refer to the previous section for other Voltage measurement details.
When you turn the rotary dial to the LoZ position, the display will show ‘auto’ indicating that the CM94 will automatically detect the measured signal as AC or DC.

5.9 Low Pass Filter (VFD) AC Voltage Measurements

CAUTION
Use caution when the measured voltage is greater than 30V DC or AC rms.
Select the VFD mode using the rotary selector switch.
The VFD feature eliminates high frequency noise in AC voltage measure­ments by means of a low pass filter. The VFD mode is designed for variable frequency drive measurements. The VFD icon will appear on the display in this mode. The procedure for taking VFD Voltage measurements is identical to the procedure for taking standard Voltage measurements. Refer to the pre­vious sections for Voltage measurement details.

Meter Operation

5.10 Current Clamp Measurements

WARNING
Do not measure current on a circuit if the voltage increases to more than 1000 V. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
WARNING
Do not use the meter to measure current above the rated frequency. This may cause the magnetic circuits in the jaws to reach hazardous temperatures.
WARNING
Disconnect the test leads from the meter before taking Clamp measurements.
Clamp Measurement Considerations
• Press the jaw trigger to open the jaws and then clamp around the conduc-
tor(s) of only one pole of a circuit.
• Ensure that the jaws are completely closed. Enclosing conductor(s) of
more than one pole of a circuit may result in differential current measurements.
• Align the conductor(s) to the jaws using the conductor align icons on the
clamp jaws.
• Adjacent current-carrying devices such as transformers, motors and con-
ductor wires may affect measurement accuracy.
