WARNING
, pollution degree 2
¡Be sure to use the instrument only in its
intended applications and to follow mea­surement procedures described in the manual.
¡Be sure to understand and follow all safety
instructions contained in the manual. Failure to follow the above instructions may cause injury, instrument damage and/or damage to equipment under test.
The symbol indicated on the instrument means that the user must refer to related parts in the manual for safe operation of the instrument. Be sure to carefully read the instructions following each symbol in this manual.
DANGER is reserved for conditions and actions that are likely to cause serious or fatal injury. WARNING is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause serious or fatal injury. CAUTION is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause minor injury or instrument damage.
DANGER
¡Never make measurement on a circuit with a
voltage higher than 600 V AC/DC.
¡Do not attempt to make measurement in the
presence of flammable gasses, fumes, vapor or dust. Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.
¡Transformer jaws are made of metal and their
tips are not insulated. Where equipment under test has exposed conductive parts, be especially careful to avoid the hazard of possible shorting.
¡Never attempt to use the instrument if its
surface or your hand is wet.
¡Do not exceed the maximum allowable input
of any measurement range.
¡Never open the battery compartment cover
when making measurement.
WARNING
¡Never attempt to make any measurement if
any abnormal conditions are noted, such as broken case, cracked test leads and exposed metal part.
¡Do not turn the function selector switch with
plugged in test leads connected to the circuit under test.
¡Do not install substitute parts or make any
modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to your distributor for repair or recalibration.
¡Do not try to replace the batteries if the
surface of the instrument is wet.
¡Always switch off the instrument before
opening the battery compartment cover for battery replacement.
CAUTION
¡Make sure that the function selector switch is
set to the appropriate position before making measurement.
¡Always make sure to insert each plug of the
test leads fully into the appropriate terminal on the instrument.
¡Make sure to remove the test leads from the
instrument before making current measurem- ent.
¡Do not expose the instrument to the direct
sun, extreme temperatures or dew fall.
¡Be sure to set the function selector switch to
theposition after use. When the instrument will not be in use for a long period of time, place it in storage after removing the battery.
¡Use a damp cloth and detergent for cleaning
the instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Set the function selector switch to any position other than. When the display is clear withoutshowing, proceed to measu- rement. When the display blanks oris indicated, replaces the batteries according to the instructions described in section 9. Battery Replacement.
NOTE
The sleep feature automatically turns the instru­ment off in a certain period of time after the last switch operation. Therefore, the display may be blank with the function selector switch set to a position other than. To operate the instrument in this case, set the switch back to the position, then to the desired position, or press any switch. If the display still blanks, the batteries are exhausted. Replace the batteries.
4-2CheckingSwitchSettingandOperation
Make sure that the function selector switch is set to the correct position and the data hold switch is deactivated. Otherwise, desired measurement cannot be made.
5.CurrentMeasurement WARNING
¡Do not make measurement on a circuit with a
voltage higher than 600 V AC/DC. Otherwise, shock hazard or damage to the instrument or equipment under test may result.
¡Transformer jaw tips are designed to
minimize the possibility of shorting conductors in the circuit under test. If equipment under test has exposed conductive parts, however, extra precaution should be taken to avoid possible shorting.
¡Do not make measurement with the battery
compartment cover removed.
¡Do not make current measurement with the
test leads connected to the instrument.
NOTE
¡During current measurement, keep the trans-
former jaws fully closed. Otherwise, accurate measurement cannot be made. The maxi­mum conductor size is 30 mm in diameter.
¡When measuring a larger current, the trans-
former jaws may buzz. This does not affect the instrument's accuracy.

1Set the function selector switch to theACA
position.
2Press the trigger to open the transformer
jaws and clamp onto one conductor only.
3Take the reading on the display.
3Check that the display reads "OL." with
the test lead prods shorted together, also check that the buzzer beeps and the display reads "0."
4Connect the test lead prods to the circuit
under test and take the reading on the display. The buzzer beeps the reading is below 50±35Ω.
¡When shorting the test lead prods together,
the display may show a very small resistance instead of "0." This is the resistance of the test leads.
¡If one of the test leads has an open, the
display reads "OL."
8.OtherFunctions 8-1SleepFunction
The instrument still consumes small amount of battery power in the sleep mode. Make sure to set the function selector switch to the "OFF" position after use.
(1) Sleep Mode This is a function to prevent the instrument from being left powered on in order to conserve battery life. This function causes the instrument to automatically enter the sleep (powered down) mode about 10 minutes after the last switch or button operation. To exit the sleep mode, turn the function selector switch back to "OFF", then to any other position, or press any button.
(2) How to disable the sleep mode To disable the sleep mode, Power the instrument on with the data hold switch pressed. "P.OFF" is shown on the display for about 3 seconds after the instrument is powered on. To enable the sleep mode, power the instrument off, then power it on without pressing the data hold switch.
