instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
○ Measurement Category
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC
61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as O to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments
with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed
for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than
one designed for CAT II.
KEW 2510 is CAT O rate d . Do n ot u s e in CAT I I , I II o r I V e nviro n me nts .
O ： Circuits which are not directly connected to the mains power
supply.
CAT Ⅱ：
Electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord.
CAT Ⅲ：
Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected
directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the
distribution panel to outlets.
CAT Ⅳ： The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,
a n d to th e p owe r mete r a n d p rima ry ove r- c u rre nt p rote ctio n

#  WARNING
●
Do not clamp onto an un-insulated conductor.
● A lways u s e a n alo g o ut p u t c o rd M O D E L 7256 , s p e cia lly d e s ign e d to
this instrument, when using analog output function.
#  DANGER
●
Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier during a
measurement.
#  CAUTION
●
Dirty clamp sensor may cause false reading. Confirm that clamp
sensors are clean before making a measurement.
● When performing zero a djustment in order to minimize the influ ence
of electromagnetic waves, bring a clamp sensor close to the
conductor under test.
● Take sufficient care not to apply shock, vibration or excessive force
whenopening and closing the clamp sensor. Otherwise, accurate
results may not be obtained. Please open and close the sensor
lightly.
６−１Zero-adjustment
Perform zero adjustment prior to starting a measurement.
With the transformer jaws closed and without clamping them onto a
conductor, press the Zero ADJ. button.
Then the Zero adjustment mark “ ” is shown on the LCD for
about
1 sec.
Zero ADJ. button is disabled while;
・ the LCD showing “ OL ” , or
・ recording results with memory function.
６−２Measurement
Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp them onto a
conductor under test and take the
reading shown in main display area.
(See the figure below.)
• When a current flows in the same
direction a s in dic ate d by th e arrow
mark on the jaws, the polarity of
the reading is positive and vice
versa.
