Children and the persons who do not have enough
knowledge about electric measurements must not
use this instrument.
Do not measure the electricity naked or barefooted to
protect yourself from electrical shock hazard.
Do not polish the case or attempt to clean it with any
cleansing fluid like gasoline or benzine. If necessary,
use silicon oil or antistatic fluid.
Avoid the clamp meter from hard mechanical shock or
vibration, high temperature and strong magnetic field.
Remove the batteries when the clamp meter is out of
use for a long time. The exhausted batteries might
leak electrolyte and corrode the inside.
Do not measure AC high-frequency current. Clamp
head becomes heated and could damage the
instrument.
Do not make a measurement under large
temperature difference. In case that the clamp meter
moved into high temperature place from low
temperature, turn the power on and leave it for a
while to get it used to the surrounding temperature.
When measuring, open clamp head 15mm or
wider and close it softly. Detach fingers from trigger
after clamping a conductor.

Correct knowledge of electric measurements is essential to avoid
unexpected danger such as operator's injury or damage to the
instrument. Read carefully and observe the following precautions for
safe measurement.
Before measurement, confirm the body of this instrument has no
cracks or any other damages. Dust, grease and moisture must be
removed.
High Power Line (High Energy Circuits) such as Distribution
Transformers, Bus Bars and Large Motors are very dangerous. For
safety of high power line measurement, do not touch the live line and
keep enough distance.

Before using this instrument, install 2 of 1.5V R6P (AA) batteries
refering to 「6-1. BATTERY REPLACEMENT」. Replace them in
the same way when "BAT" lights up on LCD.
5-1. PREPARATION FOR USE

Read INSTRUCTION MANUAL carefully to understand the
specification and functions correctly. 「3. SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS」is highly important for safe measurement.
2. BATTERY
"OL" lights up on LCD if measurement value exceeds maximum
indicatable value of each measurement range (4050 digits or 2050
digits).

5. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Power turns off automatically after approx. 5 minutes (4000mA
range) or after approx. 10 minutes (40A/200A range) of last
FUNCTION Switch operation to conserve battery life. (Small-
current-consumption remains. After measurement, be sure to set
FUNCTION Switch to "OFF".)
To cancel it (40A/200A range only) : Hold down DH Key and set
FUNCTION Switch from "OFF" to "40A/200A". Auto power off is
canceled and "APO" disappears from LCD.

*Accuracy after zero adjustment

70-1201-7830-2 0807
Do not measure any current that might exceed maximum
input value (200A DC / 600V line).
Read ｢3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS」carefully to avoid
electric shock hazard and serious damage to the instrument.
Do not twist clamp head while measurement. Measurement
should be incorrect if any pressure is applied to the clamp
head.
Do not touch any part of power line or the circuit to be
measured.
Set FUNCTION Switch to " or ".
NOTE :
Do not touch trigger nor open clamp head until
POWER-ON INITIALIZE is completed and LCD
indicates 0±1 digit.
Supporting Functions :
Zero-Adjustment, Difference Measurement, Display Hold (Refer
to 4-5 and 4-6).
When taking measurement in 4000mA range, to reduce
geomagnetic effect to the measurement, zero
adjustment by POWER-ON INITIALIZE must be taken
just in front of a conductor to be clamped, fixing the
clamp head angle on measuring position.
NOTE : LCD indication may not return to 0mA by
geomagnetic effect if changing clamp head angle after
measurement taking clamp head away from a
measured conductor.
When measuring low current at 1000mA or lower, take
zero adjustment by POWER-ON INITIALIZE for every
measurement.
LCD indication may not return to "0" by magnetic effect,
if high current is instantaneously applied during high
current measurement at 100A or higher, or regular
measurement in each range.
Under 4000mA range measurement, ±15mA current
fluctuation from measuring value is not displayed on
LCD by internal control.
Zero-point fluctuation occurs depending on
temperature alteration of measurement environment
that could cause LCD indication not to return to "0" or
large measurement deviation.
NOTES : Following instructions are important to take
an accurate measurement.
4000mA range needs a few seconds until LCD
indications become stable.
Open clamp head 15mm or wider and close it softly. Detach
fingers from trigger after clamping a conductor.
Read the measurement value on LCD.
NOTE :
After measurement, unclamp from the conductor and set
FUNCTION Switch to "OFF".

5-2. DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT ( mA / A)
Dark Current :
mA-level low current that is used after turning off the engine by such as
car security system or audio settings back-up. Too much dark
current causes battery depletion, but its measurement is difficult. ET7830
solvesthis problem and makesit quick and easy.
Clamp-on a minus cable of car battery.
Read the measurement value on LCD.
NOTE : The values should be minus (−) if the current flows
opposite direction of "⇒" mark on clamp head.
If measurement value is higher than the specified value, check if
any of car lamps remain lighting.
NOTE :
POWER-ON INITIALIZE
does not work properly.
The specified dark current value becomes different if the
optional electric components such as car navigation or
security equipments are attached. In that case, refer to
their user manuals for details.
Measurement value should be
incorrect.
NOTE :
Especially for the cars that ECU
or other electric components
keep working for a certain
period of time after turning off
the engine, or have LCD fuel
meter.
Cannot measure dark current.
Turn the all lamps off.
Leave the car engine turned off for about 15 minutes after
setting battery cable into the measurable condition. All electric
components such as door lamp, room lamp, and headlight
must be turned off. Lock the all doors if measuring car has
remote-control door lock function.
NOTE : Leaving time is different depending on the car
functions, especially for the cars that ECU or other electric
components keep working for a certain period of time after
turning off the engine, or have LCD fuel meter.
NOTE : Cool down the engine before measurement, in case that
measuring cable is close to the engine.
Put the clamp head close to a battery cable to be measured. Set
FUNCTION Switch to "4000mA" without touching the trigger.
POWER-ON INITIALIZE works to adjust LCD display into "0"
automatically. (Refer to fig. 3)
