Introduction

The 368/368 FC and 369/369 FC AC Leakage Current Clamp (the Product) is a handheld tool for measurement of ac leakage current.
Principle of Leakage Current Measurement
Based on the electromagnetic induction principle, the Product has a ring-shape current transformer comprised of a metal core and coil winding. The current transformer senses the magnetic field produced by the current or by the vector sum of the currents flowing in the conductor under test. The current transformer then produces a current proportional to the current flowing in the conductor.
See the Product Functions section near the end of this manual.

Manual-Range Mode

To enable manual-range mode:
1. With the Product off, simultaneously push and .
2. Hold both buttons until the backlight illuminates (~2 s).
The Product is now in manual-range mode.
3. Push to select the range.

Clean the Product

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
W Caution
To avoid damaging the Product, do not use abrasives or solvents to clean the Product.
1. Inspect the jaw mating surface for cleanliness. If any foreign material is present, the jaw will not close properly and measurement errors will result.
2. Open the jaws and clean the clamp metal ends with a lightly oiled cloth.
