1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
The instrument has been designed in compliance with directive IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to
electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the
instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all
notes preceded by the symbol with the utmost attention.
Before and after carrying out the measurements, carefully observe the following
instructions:
• Do not carry out any voltage or current measurement in humid environments.
• Do not carry out any measurements in case gas, explosive materials or flammables are
present, or in dusty environments.
• Avoid contact with the circuit being measured if no measurements are being carried
out.
• Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, with unused measuring probes, circuits, etc.
• Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the instrument such
as deformation, breaks, substance leaks, absence of display on the screen, etc.
• Pay special attention when measuring voltages higher than 20V, since a risk of
electrical shock exists.
In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used:
Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; an improper use could
damage the instrument or its components.
High voltage danger: electrical shock hazard.

1.1. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
• This clamp has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
• It can be used for CURRENT and VOLTAGE measurements on installations with
measurement category CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V. For a definition of
measurement categories, see § 1.4.
• We recommend following the normal safety rules devised by the procedures for
carrying out operations on live systems and using the prescribed PPE to protect the
user against dangerous currents and the instrument against incorrect use.
• Only the leads supplied with the instrument guarantee compliance with the safety
standards. They must be in good conditions and replaced with identical models, when
necessary.
• In case the lack of warning against the presence of voltage may constitute a danger for
the operator:
1. always carry out a continuity measurement before carrying out the measurement of
the live system to confirm the correct connection and condition of the leads;
2. before carrying out the critical measurement, carry out a measurement at a power
socket where voltage is surely present. As an alternative, make this verification at
your site before going to the unknown measuring point.
• Do not test circuits exceeding the specified current and voltage limits.
• Check that the battery is correctly inserted.
• Before connecting the test leads to the circuit to be tested, make sure that the switch is
correctly set.
• Make sure that the LCD display and the switch indicate the same function.
1.2. DURING USE
Please carefully read the following recommendations and instructions:
WARNING
Failure to comply with the Caution notes and/or Instructions may damage
the instrument and/or its components or be a source of danger for the
operator.
• Before activating the switch, remove the conductor from the clamp jaw or disconnect
the test leads from the circuit under test.
• When the instrument is connected to the circuit under test, do not touch any unused
terminal.
• Keep your hands always under the hand protection. This protection is always located in
a suitable position to guarantee a correct safety distance from possible exposed or live
parts (see Fig. 3: hand protection
• Avoid measuring resistance if external voltages are present. Even if the instrument is
protected, excessive voltage could cause a malfunction of the clamp.
• During current measurement, any other current near the clamp may affect
measurement precision.
• When measuring current, always put the conductor as near as possible to the middle of
the clamp jaw, to obtain the most accurate reading.
• While measuring, if the value or the sign of the quantity being measured remain
unchanged, check if the HOLD function is enabled.
1.3. AFTER USE
• When measurement is complete, switch OFF the instrument.
• If the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries.

1.4. DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORY
Standard CEI 61010: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements” defines what measurement
category, commonly called overvoltage category, is. In § 6.7.4: Measured circuits, circuits
are divided into the following measurement categories:
(OMISSIS)
• Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the
low-voltage installation.
Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent
protection devices and ripple control units.
• Measurement category III is for measurements performed on installations inside
buildings.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring,
including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed
installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for
example, stationary motors with permanent connection to fixed installation.
• Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the low-voltage installation.
Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar
equipment.
• Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to MAINS.
Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially
protected (internal) MAINS-derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are
variable; for that reason, the standard requires that the transient withstand
capability of the equipment is made known to the user.

HT9022
2.1. MEASURING AVERAGE VALUES AND TRMS VALUES
Measuring instruments of alternating quantities are divided into two big families:
• AVERAGE-VALUE meters: instruments measuring the value of the sole wave at
fundamental frequency from 10 to 400Hz
• TRMS (True Root Mean Square) VALUE meters: instruments measuring the TRMS
value of the quantity being tested.
In the presence of a perfectly sinusoidal wave, the two families of instruments provide
identical results. In the presence of distorted waves, instead, the readings shall differ.
Average-value meters provide the RMS value of the sole fundamental wave, TRSM
meters, instead, provide the RMS value of the whole wave, including harmonics (within the
instrument’s bandwidth). Therefore, by measuring the same quantity with instruments from
both families, the values obtained are identical only if the wave is perfectly sinusoidal. In
case it is distorted, TRMS meters shall provide higher values than the values read by
average-value meters.
2.2. DEFINITION OF TRUE ROOT MEAN SQUARE VALUE AND CREST FACTOR
The root mean square value of current is defined as follows: "In a time equal to a period,
an alternating current with a root mean square value of the intensity of 1A, circulating on a
resistor, dissipates the same energy that, during the same time, would have been
dissipated by a direct current with the intensity of 1A". This definition results in the numeric
expression:
+Tt
0
1
G=
T
2
∫
t
0
dttg
)(
The root mean square value is indicated with the acronym RMS.
The Crest Factor is defined as the relationship between the Peak Value of a signal and its
G
RMS value: CF (G)=
G
p
RMS
This value changes with the signal waveform, for a purely sinusoidal wave it is
2 =1.41.
In case of distortion, the Crest Factor takes higher values as wave distortion increases.
