It is recommended for use in distribution level and fixed installations, as well as lesser installations, and not for primary supply lines, overhead lines and cable systems. • Do not exceed the maximum overload limits per function (see specifications) nor the limits marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 600 Vdc/600 V ac rms between the test lead and earth ground. � Warnings and Precautions • Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. • Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing meter functions. • Disconnected from the meter’s test leads before measuring current. • Inspect the Clampmeter, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use any damaged part. 5 • Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit elements or test probe tips. • Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere. • 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. 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. • Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the test leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held part 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. • This Clamp-on meter is designed to apply around or remove from uninsulated hazardous live conductors. Individual protective equipment must be used if hazardous live parts of the installation could be accessible. • Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10 mA // AC power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical storms // current, when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >1000 V // servicing CRT equipment. • Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery. • Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance. • To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (�) appears. UNPACKING AND CONTENTS Your shipping carton should include 1 ACDC-400 1 Test lead set 2 AAA - 1.5V Batteries 1 Users Manual 1 Carrying Case If any of the items are damaged or missing, immediately return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange. 6 INTRODUCTION The ACDC-400 Clamp-On meter is an average responding autoranging 400 Amp / 600 V clamp meter. The features include AC / DC voltage, AC / DC current, Resistance, and Continuity tests. This Instrument’s display also contains an analog bar graph. OPERATION Alignment marks (see Fig. 2) Place conductor within the jaws at the intersection of the indicated marks as close as possible to maximize the accuracy of the reading. Auto Power Off function In order to save battery life, your clampmeter powers down automatically after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. You can turn it back on by turning the function selector switch to OFF and back to a measuring function. The instrument does not power down while in MAX MIN mode. You can disable Auto Power Off by pressing and holding the ZERO button while turning the meter ON. R-H Range selection Press R-H button < 1 second, to enable/disable manual range selection. Backlight function (�) Press Backlight button more than 1 second, enable/disable Backlight. To use the backlight in the ‘Autoranging’ mode, press and hold the R-H button for more than 2 seconds. D-H function (DATA HOLD) Freezes the reading present on the LCD at the moment the button is pressed. To use this button feature, set up the meter for the type of measurement and range desired. Connect the test leads or clamp jaws to the circuit/component to be measured, then press Hold. The LCD reading will freeze and display “�.” You may now remove the test leads and the reading will not change until you press D-H again. ZERO button: Relative display function The ZERO mode displays the difference between the actual reading and a reference value. It may be used with any function or range; however, the range must be set manually. To make a relative measurement first establish a reference value by measuring a value and then pressing the ZERO button after the reading has stabilized. This stores the measured value as the reference and sets the display to zero. The meter subtracts the reference value from subsequent measurements and displays this difference as the relative value. Measurement values greater than the reference value will be positive and values less than the reference value will be negative. To exit the Zero Mode, Press and hold the Zero button for 2 seconds. 7 Select the proper Range using the R-H button before enabling the Zero feature. This function will not autorange. MAX / MIN button The MAX MIN feature reads and updates the display to store and show the maximum or minimum value measured after you press the MAX MIN button. Pressing the MAX MIN button for less than 1 second will put the meter into a mode of displaying the maximum, minimum, or actual readings. Each time the button is pressed, the meter will cycle to the next display mode as shown in the table below. Press the MAX MIN button for more than 2 seconds to disable this feature. Select the proper Range using the RANGE button before enabling the MAX MIN feature. This function will not autorange. Button Display -- Value Displayed MAX value after feature activated < 1 second MIN - Minimum value after feature activated < 1 second - Actual reading, min max being recorded. > 2 seconds - Exit MAX MIN and return to normal measurement. Analog bargraph The analog bargraph provides a visual indication of measurement like a traditional analog meter’s needle. AC Voltage measurement (See Fig. 3) 1.
