5-1 HOLD & LPF Function
It’s possible to hold the displayed value by pressing on the
“HOLD” button. Press the “HOLD” button again to exit
the “HOLD” mode.
To activate the Low Pass Filter (LPF) feature, press and hold
the “LPF” button until the symbol displays. To deactivate
the “LPF” feature, press and hold the “LPF” button for 2
seconds. The meter will return to normal mode of operation.
The Cut-Off frequency of the low pass filter is about 160Hz
with attenuation characteristic of approx. -24dB/octave.
Note: the LPF function operates on the AC A and AC mA
ranges.
5-2 PEAK Hold and /ΩFunction Selection
Press “PEAK” button to enter the “PEAK” mode, the meter
records the peak maximum value. Press the “PEAK” button
again, to exit the peak mode.
When you turn the rotary switch to the Ohms/Continuity
Test position, press the “PEAK” button to select continuity
test with buzzer.
5-3 ZERO Function
Press “ZERO” button to enter the “ZERO” mode, ZERO
Indicator will appear and the display will ZERO. The
reading is stored as reference value for the subsequent
measurement.
Press the “ZERO” button again, to exit the ZERO mode.

5-4 BACKLIGHT Function
When the “☼“ button is pressed, the backlight will be
turned on. Press the button again to turn the backlight off.
If the button is not pressed again then the backlight will
be automatically turned off in about 30 seconds after it’s
turned on.
6. MEASURING INSTRUCTION
6-1 ACA, ACmA Measurement:
(1) Set the range selector switch to the desired position.
The current to be measured should be within the measuring
range.
(2) Normal measurement (see Fig. 1):
Press the clamp opening handle to open the clamp
meter jaws and close them over one conductor only. The
measured current value is shown on the display. Earth
leakage current or any small AC current that flows through
a ground wire can also be measured by this method.
NOTE: Keeping the cable in the center of the clamp will
return more accurate test results when making current
measurements. Zero meter to accurately measure low
milliamp circuits.
(3) Measuring out of balance leakage current (see Fig. 2):
Clamp onto all conductors except the ground wire. The
measured imbalance current value is shown on the display.
Before this measurement, disconnect any test leads from the
meter for safety.
In some cases wherein reading the display is difficult, press
the HOLD button and read the result after the clamp is
removed from the conductors.

6-2 ACV Measurement:
WARNING!
Maximum Input Voltage is 600V AC/DC. Do not attempt
to take any voltage measurement that may exceed this
maximum to avoid Electrical Shock hazard and/or
damage to this instrument.
Switch the main function selector to ṽrange. Connect the
red test lead to the “+” terminal and the black lead to the
“COM” terminal. Measure the voltage by touching the test
lead tips to the test circuit where the voltage measurement
is required. Read the result from the LCD display.
6-3 DCV Measurement:
Switch the main function selector to V range. Connect the
red test lead to the “+” terminal and the black lead to the
“COM” terminal. Measure the voltage by touching the
test lead tips to the test circuit where the value of voltage is
needed. Read the result from the LCD display.
6-4 Continuity Test with Buzzer:
Switch the main function to Ωrange. Connect the red test
lead to the “+” terminal and the black lead to the “COM”
terminal. Connect tip of the test leads to the points between
which continuity is to be measured. If the resistance is under
45 Ω, the beeper will sound continuously.
NOTE:
When measuring resistance in a circuit, make sure any power
on the circuit is turned off and any capacitors are discharged.

6-5 Resistance Measurement:
Switch the main function selector to Ωrange. Connect the
red test lead to the “+” terminal and the black lead to the
“COM” terminal. Connect tip of the test leads to the points
where the value of the resistance is to be measured. Read
the result from the LCD.
NOTE:
When measuring resistance in a circuit, make sure any
power on the circuit is turned off and any capacitors are
discharged.
7. CHANGING THE BATTERY
When the battery voltage drops below that required for
proper operation of the instrument, the battery symbol will
appear on the LCD display and the batteries should be
changed. Before changing the batteries, switch the main dial
to “OFF” and disconnect test leads. Open the back cover
using a screwdriver. Replace the old batteries with two new
1.5V (AAA Size) batteries. Close the back cover and tighten
the screw before using the meter.
NOTE: If the meter is not going to be used for a long time
then remove the batteries and store meter in a cool, dry
location. Do not store meter in a high temperature or high
humidity environment.
8. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Before opening the meter, disconnect both test leads.
Never use the meter unless the battery cover is in place
and the screw is tightened.
8-1 Cleaning:
Periodically wipe the case with a dry cloth. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.

AMPERÍMETRO DE PINZA EN MILIAMPERIOSMANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES
6-5 Medición de resistencia:
Cambie el selector de función principal al rango Ω.
Conecte el conductor de prueba rojo al terminal “+” y el
conductor de prueba negra al terminal “COM”. Conecte las
puntas de los conductores de prueba a los puntos donde se
va a medir la resistencia. Lea el resultado en la LCD.
NOTA:
Cuando mida resistencia en un circuito, cerciórese de que
el circuito no tenga electricidad y los condensadores estén
descargados.
7. CAMBIO DE BATERÍA
Cuando el voltaje de la batería está por debajo de lo
requerido para el funcionamiento adecuado aparece el
símbolo de batería en la LCD. Antes de reemplazar las
baterías, coloque el dial principal en “OFF” (apagado) y
desconecte los conductores de prueba. Abra la cubierta
posterior con un destornillador. Reemplace las baterías
viejas con dos nuevas AAA de 1.5VDC. Cierre la cubierta
posterior y apriete el tornillo antes de usar el amperímetro.
NOTA: Si el amperímetro no se va a usar por largo tiempo
retire las baterías y guarde el amperímetro en un lugar seco
y fresco. No guarde el amperímetro en un ambiente de alta
temperatura o alta humedad.
8. MANTENIMIENTO
¡ADVERTENCIA!
Antes de abrir el amperímetro, desconecte ambos
conductores de prueba. Nunca use el amperímetro sin la
cubierta de la batería en su lugar y el tornillo apretado.
8-1 Limpieza:
Limpie periódicamente el estuche con un paño seco. No use
abrasivos ni disolventes.
