1 Introduction
We appreciate your having purchased our digital clamp AC
leakage current tester. The CMP-200 meter is a modern, high-
quality measuring device, which is easy and safe to use. Please
acquaint yourself with the present manual in order to avoid
measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to
operation of the tester.
In the present manual we apply three kinds of warnings. These
are texts in frames, which describe possible dangers both for the
user and the tester itself. The messages starting from the word
‘WARNING:’ describe situations which imply a risk for life or health
should the recommendations presented in the present manual not
be observed. The word ‘ATTENTION!’ introduces a description of a
situation where non-observance of the recommendations presented
in the present manual may imply damage for the tester. Indications
of possible problems are preceded by the word ‘Attention:’.
WARNING:
Before using the instrument acquaint yourself with the
present manual and observe the safety regulations and
recommendations specified by the manufacturer.
WARNING:
The purpose of the CMP-200 tester is to realise clamp
measurements of the leakage current. Using the tester in a
manner which does not comply with the recommendations
specified in the present manual may lead to its damage and
constitutes a source of a serious risk for the user.

5
WARNING:
The CMP-200 tester may be operated solely by qualified and
properly authorised personnel for work at electric
installations. Using the tester by unauthorised personnel
may lead to its damage and constitutes a source of a serious
risk for the user.
2 Safety
In order to guarantee proper operation and correctness of the
obtained results it is necessary to observe the following
recommendations:
•Before commencing operation of the tester please acquaint
yourself thoroughly with the present manual,
•The instrument should be operated solely by properly qualified
personnel, who also must be trained regarding the industrial
safety regulations,
•Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are
greater than 25V AC rms or 35V DC. These voltages are consi-
dered a shock hazard,
•Set function switch to the appropriate position before
measuring,
•Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range,
•It is prohibited to operated the tester:
⇒If it is damaged and completely or partially out of order
⇒If it has been stored for an excessive period of time in
inadequate conditions (e.g. if it is humid)
•Repairs must be realised solely by an authorised service
workshop
WARNING:
Do not realise measurements with wet hands.

6
WARNING:
Do not realise measurements in environments in which there
are inflammable gases. Otherwise operation of the tester
under such conditions may cause sparking and explosion.
3 Preparation of the tester for operation
Having purchased the tester examine completeness of the
contents of the package.
Before measurements commence, it is necessary to realise the
following actions:
•Make sure the conditions of the batteries or accumulators
permit to realise measurements,
•Make sure the casing of the tester is not damaged.

5 Measurements
5.1 AC current measurements
WARNING:
Do not take current readings on circuits where the maximum
current potential is not known. Do not exceed the maximum
allowable input range while measuring current.
WARNING:
Do not realise measurements if the battery compartment is
open.
In order to realise a measurement of alternative current, it is
necessary to realise the following actions:
•Set the Function switch to desired range, if the range of the
measured is not known, select the highest range first,
•open the clamp and place it properly on a cable
•read the result of the measurement on the display,
•move to the lower range if necessary.
Attention:
During measurements of the current make sure the clamp is
properly placed. Otherwise the results of the measurements
will not be exact. The most exact result we will get if the wire
is placed in the middle of clamp.
Refer to the diagrams below for examples of the tester’s
applications

5.2 DATA HOLD Function
To freeze the LCD tester reading, press the HOLD button. The
word HOLD will appear on the LCD while the tester is in the Data
Hold mode. To release the Data Hold function and return the tester
to normal operation, press the “Hold Backlight” key again. The word
HOLD will switch off.
5.3 Backlight display
Press and hold the HOLD button key for more than 2 seconds
to turn on the backlight. This will also activate the Data Hold
function. To release the Data Hold function and return the tester to
normal operation, press the HOLD button momentarily. To turn off
the backlight, press and hold the HOLD button for more than 2
seconds.
5.4 DATA MAX HOLD Function
To freeze the max reading on the LCD, press the MAX button.
The word MAX will appear on the LCD while the tester is in the Max
hold mode. To release the tester to normal operation, press the
MAX button.

6 Replacement of the batteries
The CMP-200 tester is supplied by means of two 1.5V AAA
batteries. It is recommended to use alkaline batteries
Attention:
When making measurements with a battery's mnemonic on,
one must take into account additional indefinite
measurement uncertainty or unstable working of the meter.
In order to replace the battery it is necessary to do the following:
•place rotational selector in the position OFF and remove the
one rear Phillips head screw,
•open the battery compartment and replace the required two
1.5V AAA batteries,
•re-assemble the tester.
7 Cleaning and maintenance
The casing of the tester may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth
using all-purpose detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning
agents which might scratch the casing (powders, pastes, etc.).
The electronic system of the tester does not require maintenance.
8 Storage
In the case of storage of the device, the following
recommendations must be observed:
•Make sure the tester and its accessories are dry,
•In the case the tester is to be stored for a prolonged period of
time, the battery must be removed from the device.
9 Dismantling and utilization
Worn-out electric and electronic equipment should be gathered
selectively, i.e. it must not be placed with waste of another kind.

12
Worn-out electronic equipment should be sent to a collection
point in accordance with the law of worn-out electric and electronic
equipment.
Before the equipment is sent to a collection point, do not
dismantle any elements.
Observe the local regulations concerning disposal of packages,
worn-out batteries and accumulators.
