I. Introduction
ETCR6200 AC/DC Leakage Current Clamp Meter also named: Car Leakage
Current Clamp Meter, Car Standby Current Clamp Meter, Car Inrush Current
Tester, Car Charge Current Tester. It is specially designed for online
measurement of DC, AC leakage current, current below 600V by adopting
up-to-date CT technology and digital integration technology. It is specially
suitable for measure car standby current, leakage current, inrush current. It is
a product with the characteristic of relatively small size, high accuracy, strong
anti-interference capability and automatic shifting. It is apply to car leakage
rapid detection, consumed current detection, quickly find the fault of the wire
broke leakage, equipment fled electric, line contact with iron, measuring the
motor inrush current and alternator charging current etc. It could be widely
use in those fields as car repair, car leave factory test, car parts test, the
current detection in telecommunication room, electric power overhauling,
meteorology, oil detection, etc.
It has those functions as peak holding, data holding and data storage. It

obtains one RS232 interface, communication cable and software, through
the computer, it can online real-time monitoring, historical query, dynamic
display, MIN-AVG-MAX indication, alarm setting and indicating, data reading,
saving and printing.

VII. Operating Method
1. Startup, Shutdown
Press POWER key to start up, LCD will begin to display; Press the POWER key
again, the leaker will shut down. After starting up for 5 minutes, LCD will flick
notes that the leaker will shut down automatically; after flickering for 30s, it
will shut down formally to reduce battery consumption. In case you have
pressed POWER key when LCD was flickering, the leaker will continue to
work for 5 minutes. If LCD was very dark after starting up, it might be caused
by low-voltage battery, in this case, please change battery immediately.
2. AC / DC switch
After startup, instrument default into DC current testing. Press to
switch the AC and DC current. LCD display DC indicates DC current, display

AC indicates AC current.
3. Reset
Before measuring, long press the ZERO key to reduce the residual
magnetism to zero, and then conduct measurement.
Rational usage of this adjust zero function will make the results more
accurate. For example, after boot, before measurement, we can take the jaw
close to the DC current wire, LCD will show an inductive current. Adjust
ZERO key to calibrate to deduct the inductive value.
4. Current Measurement
High voltage, extremely dangerous! Operators shall
strictly observe safety rules; otherwise there would be
risk of electric shock to cause personal injuries or
casualties.
Dangerous ！Please don’t use it to measure current
higher than 60A; otherwise there would be risk of
electric shock to cause personal injuries or equipment

damages.
1) Power on
2) Switch AC/DC key to choose the kind of measurement.
3) Adjust zero
4)Release the toroid lever to open clamp mouth and clamp measured
conductors.
5)Read LCD display data. In case OL A symbol was displayed, it means that
current of measured line is beyond the maximum limit of this leaker; with
this case, please choose leaker with much higher range limit.
Note! For your safety, when measure the large
current, after the correct operation, put the
instrument removed from the tested wire.
In locations with difficulty to read out data, please
use the data holding function. If [DH] symbol
displayed, please discharge data holding state
first, and then do the test.

5. Peak Holding
Pressing HOLD key continually in the course of measurement (More than 3
seconds), the leaker will capture current peak values of lines in this period of
time; release the key, it then will return to measuring state.
6. Hold, Storage and Access Reading
1)Pressing HOLD key for a short time in the course of measurement (less
than 3 seconds), DH symbol will display, the leaker will hold current
measuring data and automatically stored in the memory with a unit ID;
press HOLD key again to release the hold state, and the leaker continues
its measuring; in case stored data reached to 60 groups, press HOLD key
again, the “FULL” symbol will display, which means storage memory is full;
press HOLD key to cancel “FULL” flickering and return to measuring
mode.
2)Press HOLD+POWER keys to enter into data access mode and display Unit
1 storage data automatically; and then press HOLD key again to turn the
page of stored data; NULL will display when there is no data in stored in the
memory, press POWER key to exit data access mode.
3)After entering into data access mode, press HOLD key for more than 3
seconds will clean up all stored data; When the leaker displaying “dEL”
symbol, it means that it has finished cleanup process, and then return to
measuring state automatically.

7．Data upload
Make good connection of computer and the tester with RS232
communication wire, switch on the tester and run monitoring software. In the
software directory setting: the editor / communication settings /serial
number: COM1 ~ COM5. If the connection is successful, then it can read
the stored historical data, upload to company, preserve and print.
The monitoring software has those functions as online real-time monitoring,
historical query, dynamic display, MIN-AVG-MAX indication, alarm setting
and indicating, data reading, saving and printing.
VIII．Application
Car leakage usually makes the car starting difficult or the appliances
abnormal operation, such as the lights dim, central controlled lock can not
open. The driver often want to replace the battery when the car has no
electricity. Actually, the following situations cause the battery empty:
1. The appliances are not shutdown (such as headlight isn’t turn off).
2. The faults of appliance, wiring harness, control unit and sensor.
3. Wires contact with iron.
4. The motor do not generate electric.
5. The battery plate short circuit or oxidation and fall off.
If the reason is 1, 2, 3 or 4, replay the battery not only waste repair cost, but
also not solve the essential problem. Use the ETCR6200 Car Leakage
Current Clamp Meter, there is no need to power off and clearing to measure

the battery standby current, the appliance standby current and working
current, the motor charging current, safe and rapid to find out the fault
location, save time and cost. When the appliance shutdown, clamp the
positive power line, measure the leakage current and standby current, when
the appliance startup, clamp the positive power line, measure the working
current.
IX. How to Change Battery
Warning! It is dangerous to carry out test when the
battery cover plate was not on its position.
Please pay attention to the polarity of battery to
avoid damaging the leaker.
Chang the low battery in time
If you expect not to use the meter for a long time,
please get off the battery to storage.
1)“ ” symbol means the battery is undercharge and need to be replaced.
2)Press POWER key to shut down the leaker; Before opening the battery
cover, please confirm the leaker is in off position, and then replace with
qualified new battery; special attention shall be paid to the polarity of battery;
at last, cover battery cover plate.
