Safety Requirements
The MS2009A digital clamp meter has been designed
according to Safety Standard IEC61010-1
IEC61010-2-032 for electronic measuring instruments
and hand-held current clamps. It conforms to safety
standards for double insulation CAT III 600 V and
grade 2 for pollution.
Safety Signs
Important safety sign. Refer to the operation manual.
Danger high voltage.
Double insulation (Safety equipment with class II).
Ground (earth).
Allow to be used around conductors without
danger to life.
Notes
• Before using this meter, please read carefully this
user manual and pay special attention to “warning”
content. Please follow the “warning” instructions.
• To meet the safety requirements, only use probe
supplied with the meter. If the probe is replaced,
a new one with the same model or same electric
specification should be used.
• Before using it, please check the meter and probe
for any damage or abnormal condition. If an
abnormal situation appears (for example: bare
probe, enclosure damage, no liquid crystal display,
etc), don't use the meter.
• When the meter is measuring, don't touch the unused
input terminal.
• Be careful when measuring voltage greater than 60V
DC and 30V AC. Don't allow fingers to touch or block
part of the probe.
• When you can't determine the size range of signal to
be tested, please switch the function measuring range
to the maximum position, then gradually select lower
ranges until the correct range is found. Do not exceed
the input limit specified in each measuring range.
• Don't measure voltage greater than the upper limit for
each range.
• Before changing the function measuring range switch
to a different position, set the probe and the circuit
being tested to an open state.
• Before online resistance measurement, turn off all
power supplies in circuit and release all charges on
both ends of capacitor.
• Don't expose the meter exposure to strong light, high
temperature or moisture (humidity).
• Don't touch bare wires, connectors or circuits being
measured.
Maintenance
• Before opening the meter back cover, make sure that
the probe is removed from the circuit to be measured.
• Only wet cloth and a small amount of detergent can
be used for cleaning the meter. Don't use chemical
solvents to wipe the meter case.
• If you find any abnormal conditionon the meter, stoop
using the meter immediately and have it repaired.
• Repair the meter with the help of a trained technician.

DC Voltage Measurement
1. Insert red probe to “INPUT” jack and insert black
probe to “COM” jack.
2. Place function measuring range switch to DC
voltage measuring range. Press “SEL” key, and
connect the probe to the power source or load to be
tested. The polarity of the end connected with red
probe will be shown in the display at the same time.
3. Read the measuring result from display.
Notes!
∆ If the range of voltage to be tested is not known in
advance, place function measuring switch to the
maximum range, then gradually reduce to obtain
the correct range.
∆ Pay special attention to avoid shock when
measuring high voltage.
AC Voltage Measurement
1. Insert red probe to “INPUT” jack and insert black
probe to “COM” jack.
2. Place function measuring range switch to AC
voltage measuring range, and connect the probe
to the power source or load to be tested. The
polarity of the end connected with red probe will
be shown in the display at the same time.
3. Read the measuring result from display.
Notes!
∆ Pay special attention to avoid shock when

AC Current Measurement
1. Place function measuring range switch to AC
current measuring range.
2. Press the trigger, open clamp head, clip the lead
in the clamp to measure the lead current. Note:
Clamping two or more leads at the same time will
give invalid reading.
3. Read the measuring result from display.
Notes!
∆ If the range of current to be tested is not known in
advance, please place function measuring switch
to the maximum current range, then gradually
reduce to obtain the correct range.
Resistance Measurement
1. Insert red probe and black probe to “INPUT” and
“COM” jack.
2. Place function measuring range switch to required
Ω position, and connect the probe to resistor to
be tested.
3. Read the measuring result from display.
Note:
∆ If measured resistance value is more than the
maximum value of chosen measuring range, it will
show will “OL`”. At this time, select a higher range.
∆ When checking online resistance, first turn off all
power supplies in the circuit to be measured and
discharge all capacitors fully.
∆ When measuring the resistance more than 1MΩ,
the reading will be stable after several seconds.
This is normal for high resistance measuring.
Diode Test
Insert red probe to “INPUT” and insert black probe to
“COM” jack. At this time, red probe polarity is “+”.
Place function measuring switch to position. Red
probe is connected to the anode of diode under
measurement, and black probe is connected to the
cathode of diode under measurement. Read
approximate forward voltage drop value from the display.
Circuit Continuity Test
Insert red probe to “INPUT” jack, and insert black
probe to “COM” jack. Place function measuring switch
to position and press SEL key to enter circuit
continuity test. Probe is connected to two points of
circuit under measurement. In continuity test, when
test resistance is less than 50Ω, buzzer will sound.
When it is from 50Ω to 90Ω, buzzer may or may not
sound. When it is more than 90Ω, buzzer won't sound.
Non-Contact Voltage Detection
Press NCV key. Place non-contact sensor close to the
conductor. When test voltage is greater than 90V AC
(RMS) and when the meter is close to the conductor,
the meter induction voltage indicator will flash and
buzzer will sound.
Note:
1: Even there is no indication, voltage may exist. Don't
use non-contact voltage detector to judge whether
there is voltage in the wire. Detection operation
could be affected by socket design, insulation
thickness, type and other factors.

2: When inputting voltage on the meter input terminal,
due to the existence of the induced voltage, voltage
induction indicator also may light.
3: Interference sources of external environment (such
as flashlight, motor, etc.) may trigger non-contact
voltage detection by mistake.

before opening battery cover. Disconnect any
circuit or signal being tested. Use only a
battery with the same model or same electric
specification.
Warning
If “ ” symbol appears, it means that the battery
should be replaced. Before opening the meter back
cover, make sure that no probe is connected to the
circuit. Check that the back cover is tightened
before using the meter., Follow these steps to
replace the battery:
1. Disconnect the probe and remove it from the
input jack. Switch rotating function measuring
range switch to “OFF”.
2. Unscrew screws on the battery cover and remove
the battery cover.
3. Take out the old batteries and replace with three
