20
4.3The usage of extension ring
1) When measuring current is in a small range, please use the corresponding extension
ring to connect it to the threading hole of the instrument.
2) Before measuring, let the extension ring pass through the test hole of the instrument
according to the direction of the mark, and then insert the joint. The red terminal is
connected to the inflow current, and the black terminal is connected to the outflow
current.
3) Connect the X10 top ring (optional), turn on the power switch, then enter the main
interface, and click “AC” or “DC”. After entering the AC or DC measurement interface,
click “Current X10”.
Precautions
1) In the "current X10" mode, the optional corresponding extension ring must be selected.
2) The current direction marked on the extension ring should be the same as the current
direction marked on the meter case. If the directions are inconsistent, the measured
value is negative when measuring the forward DC current. When measuring AC
voltage and current, the phase of the AC voltage and AC current signal is 180 degrees
out of the true phase. The negative AC current measurement is not affected only when
the AC current is measured and the directions are inconsistent.
3) The connection of the extension ring must be tight to prevent from breaking. After the
extension ring is inserted, the impedance of the two terminals can be measured with a
multimeter. When the link is correct, the impedance between the two terminals is about
zero.
4) The extension ring must pass through the test hole of the instrument completely. If the
current line is worn less or more, the measurement error will occur. If the "current X10"
extension ring is used, the number of turns passing through the meter hole should be
10. If the number of turns is incorrect, there will be an error in the measurement.
