2. Measurement
2.1 Preparation for Measurement
CAUTION
• The jaw section is a delicate, precision sensor. Do not subject the jaw
to unreasonably strong shock, vibration, or force when using it.
• If dust gets into the tops of the jaws, remove it immediately. Do not
close the jaws when dust is trapped in its joints as the sensor may
break.
• Please check that the Range switch is set to the desired position
before measurement
2.2 AC Current Measurement
WARNING
Never use the instrument on a circuit above 300V AC. This may cause
electrical shock hazard and damage to the instrument or the circuit
under test
Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier during measurement
(1) Set the Range Switch to the "
"AC" should be shown on the upper left corner of the display.
(2) Press the open/close lever to open the transformer jaws and clamp
them onto a single conductor and take the reading on the display.
The most accurate reading will be obtained by keeping the conductor
at the center of the transformer jaws
NOTE
• During current measurement, keep the transformer jaws fully closed.
Otherwise, accurate measurements cannot be taken.
Maximum conductor size is 24mm in diameter.

WARNING
• Never make measurement on a circuit above 300V AC.
• Do not use the instrument in an atmosphere where any flammable or
explosive gas is present.
• The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips are not
insulated. Be especially careful about the hazard of possible shorting
where the equipment under test has exposed metal parts.
• Avoid using the instrument if it has been exposed to rain or moisture
or if your hands are wet.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement

range.
•
Never open the battery compartment cover when making
measurement.
• Do not use the instrument if there is any damage to the casing or
when the casing is removed.
Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the
•
instrument. Return the instrument to Yokogawa Meters & Instruments
or your distributor for repair or re-calibration.
•
Always switch off the instrument before opening the battery
compartment cover for battery replacement.
WARNING
To avoid damage to the instrument or electric shock!
The restrictions on the maximum voltage level for which the CL 120
testers can be used, depend on the measurement categories specified
by the safety standards. These category specifications are formulated
to protect operators against transient impulse voltage in power lines.

3. Other Functions
3.1 Auto-Power-Off Function
This is a function to prevent the instrument from being left powered on
in order to conserve battery life. The instrument automatically turns off
about 10 minutes after the last switch or button operation.
To turn to normal mode, turn the Range switch to "OFF", then to the
desired position.
3.2 Data Hold Function
This is a function used to freeze the measured value on the display.

NOTE
When the Auto-Power-Off function works while instrument is in the data
hold mode, data hold is cancelled.
3.3 Optional Accessories
Clamp Adapter Model 99025 (For AC current measurement only)
Clamp Adapter Model 99025 is designed to
increase the measuring capability of a
clamp meter. With the use of the Clamp
Adapter, you can not only extend current
range over 2000A, but also clamp on a
large bus-bar or conductor.
(1) Set the Range Switch to the "
position.
(2) As shown in the figure below, clamp
Model CL 120 onto the pickup coil of
Model 99025.
(3) Clamp Model 99025 onto the bus-bar or
conductor under test.
(4) Take the reading on Model CL 120 and
multiply it by 10.
NOTE
For the detailed specification, refer to the
Clamp Adapter User's Manual.
