1) OVERVIEW
This operating manual covers information on safety and cautions. Please
read the relevant information carefully and observe all the Warnings and
Notes strictly.
Warning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the Safety Informa-
tion and the following instructions carefully before using the Meter.
•Do not use it if the meter appears to be damaged. Inspect the meter to
ensure that the case is not cracked and the rear case is securely
placed.
•Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally as protection may be
impaired.
•Do not use during electrical storms or wet weather.
•Do not use near inflammable, dusty or vapor environments.
•Donot use without thebatterycover and the rearcase properlyinstalled.
•Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has not user serviceable parts
inside.
•Replace the battery if wrong operation occurs.
•Use the proper range for your measurement. To protect yourself, think
“Safety First”.
•Voltages over 30V AC RMS or 60V DC pose a shock hazard so use
caution.
•Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses,
face shield, insulating gloves, boots and mats.
•Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
•Always work with a partner.

6) OPERATION
A. Current Measurement - AC
Set the rotary switch to the proper range, ACA (alternating current) for T609
NOTE
󴗾For non-invasive current measurement, press the jaw trigger and clamp
the jaw around only one single conductor of a circuit for load current
measurement. Make sure the jaw is completely closed.
󴗾Adjacent current-carrying devices such as transformers, motors and
conductor wires will affect measurement accuracy . Keep the jaw away
from them as much as possible to minimize influence.
󴗾
The best accuracy is taken when the conductor is centered in the jaw.

B. Special Functions
D-H Button
The Data Hold function freezes the current reading to later visualization.
Press D-Hbutton for a moment to enter in the Data Hold mode. Press D-
Hbutton again to return to normal measurements.
M-H Button
The Max Hold function freezes the highest reading to later visualization.
PressM-Hbutton for a moment to enter in the Max Hold mode. Press the
button again to return to normal measurement.
Auto Power Off (APO)
The meter turns off after approximately 15 minutes of neither switch nor
key activity .
T
o wake up the meter from APO, change the function selec-
tor to other position and back on again. Always turn the function selector
to OFF when the meter is not in use.
