Operation
NOTE: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation manual prior to using
this meter.
AC Current Measurements
WARNING: Remove the test leads from the meter before making current clamp
measurements.
1. Set the Range switch to the 600A range..
2. Set the Pointer Lock
switch is set to the right-
most position so that the
pointer may freely move.
3. If necessary, turn the
