1. Safety precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following
directives of the European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU
(electromagnetic compatibility), 2014/35/EU (low voltage),
2011/65/EU (RoHS).
Overvoltage category II 600 V; pollution degree 2.
CAT I: For signal level, telecommunication, electronic with small
transient overvoltage
CAT II: For local level, appliances, main wall outlets, portable
equipment
CAT III:Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient
overvoltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV:Units and installations, which are supplied overhead lines,
which are stand in a risk of persuade of a lightning, i.e. main-
switches on current input, overvoltage-diverter, current use
counter.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger
of serious injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety
precautions must be observed. Damages resulting from failure to
observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims
whatever.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight, extreme
temperatures, extreme humidity or dampness
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields
(motors, transformers etc.)
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong
vibrations
* Keep hot soldering iron or guns away from the
equipment
* Allow the equipment to stabilise at room temperature before
taking up measurement (important for exact measurement)
* Do not modify the equipment in any way
* Opening the equipment and service- and repair work must only
be performed by qualified service personnel
* Measuring devices don’t belong to children hands

4. Operation
4.1 AC current measurement
The leakage current clamp is able to measure alternating currents
up to 200 amperes. The measurements are carried out
contactlessly and without separate measuring lines which have to
be connected to the device.
1. Set the Switch to the desired measuring range for the
respective current measurement
2. Insert the lead to be measured into the current clamp,
opening by operating the lever to open the clamp
3. After closing the current clamp meter, the measured
value is shown on the LCD display
Observe the correct procedure during the measurement procedure
(see picture 1).
FALSE RIGHT

4.2 Hold function
Press the “Hold” button to freeze the current reading on the LCD.
The word HOLD will be displayed on the LCD while the meter is in
data hold mode. Press the “Hold” button again to cancel the data
hold function and return to the normal meter operation. After
returning to the normal operation mode, the Hold symbol
disappears from the display.
4.3 Backlight of the Display
To switch on the background lighting of the display from the P 1636,
press the Hold button for approx. 2 seconds. When the background
lighting is switched on, the Hold function is also activated, but you
can switch it off again by briefly pressing the Hold button again.
The display lighting switches off after approx. 15 seconds, by itself.
It is also possible to switch the lighting off manually by pressing the
Hold button again for approx. 2 seconds.
4.4 Max function
To hold the maximum measured value in the display, press the Max
key. The Max symbol appears on the display and the highest
measured value is shown.
When the measurement has been carried out and the Max function
is no longer required, press the Max key again. The leakage current
clamp is now in the normal measuring mode again and displays the
current measured value.

4.5 Auto power off
The P 1636 also has an automatic power off function, which serves
to increase the service life of the batteries. The device switches
itself off after approx. 15 minutes if no measurements or settings
have been made with or on the device during this time.
5. Replacing the batteries
If the remaining battery voltage is low, a battery symbol appears on
the display.
To change the batteries, follow the following steps:
1. Set the switch position of the device to OFF
2. Unscrew the battery compartment on the back of the
clamp meter and remove the empty batteries
3. Insert new "AAA 1.5V" batteries into the battery
compartment
4. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries when
inserting them
5. Close the battery compartment and screw it back on.
After changing the empty batteries, the battery symbol disappears
from the display when the device is switched on again.

Notification about the Battery Regulation
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example
serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries or
accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the sale
of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery
Regulations to notify our customers of the following:
Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return
them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is
strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can
return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address
on the last side in this manual or by posting with sufficient stamps.
Contaminated batteries shall be marked with a symbol consisting of
a crossed-out refuse bin and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) of
the heavy metal which is responsible for the classification as
pollutant:
1. "Cd" means cadmium.
2. "Hg" means mercury.
3. "Pb" stands for lead.
