1. Introduction , Application and Features:
Power Clamp meter is a Portable Digital multi functional measuring instrument .
designed for Measuring selected power network p a r a m e t e r s , AC/DC V oltage,
AC/DC current, Resistance, Co n t in u i t y , Diode and Freque n c y Apart From
basic quantities meter enables the measurement of additional quantities
calculated from values of voltage and current.
Power clamp meter is innovatively designed for increasing safety and comfort of
use r Rotating clamp jaws facilitate the measurement at physically awkward
position, vertical bus bars, conductors placed at position diffcult to access.
Clamp jaws can be opened or closed with the triggered placed at bottom side
placed away from the j a w s . This allows the user to place his/her hand at safer
distance from live cond. u ctor
.
Location and design of trigger eliminates fatigues caused by single finger
operation. It allows spreading the force required to open the jaws over more
than one finger to ensure comfortable operation.
Power Clamp meter have following f e atures
2. Safety features and safety precautions
Please note the following safety precautions:
Power Clamp meter provides a very high degree. of safety
The digital power clamp meter
in compliance with the safety standard IEC 61010-1:2010.
In case of incorrect use or careless handing, the safety of both user and power
clamp meter is not assured.
For proper use and safe handling,it is absolutely necessary to read and
understand the operating instructions before using the c. lamp meter
400A/1000A manufactured and tested
The clamp meter must be
operated only by persons who understand
the danger of shock hazards and are aware of the necessary safety
precautions.Shock hazards exist wherever voltages of more than
30V(TRMS) are present.
Do not work alone in shock hazardous environment while carrying
out measurement.
Operators must use individual protective equip ment if
hazardous live parts of installation could be access.ible
Keep hands/fingers behind the edge that separates ro tating
jaws with hand held part(1 0 ) . This is the limits of the ha nd
held part during measurement.
The maximum permissible voltage between any of the terminal
sockets (7) and ground is 1000V.

Do not overload the measuring ranges beyond their allowable
capacities. Limit values are given in specifications. Ref. Chapter 16.
Please verify the performance of clamp meter after repairing
of the mete r before using it for actual measurement.
Do not use the clamp meter if obvious wear in jaw opening
is visible.
Protection provided by the digital clamp meter may be
impaired if the clamp meter is not used in a manner
specified in this user manual.

Repair, replacement of parts:
When opening the mete r , live parts may be exposed . Therefore , the
meter must be disconnected from the measuring circuit prior to opening
its case for repair or replacement of parts. If repair cannot be avoided
unless the meter is opened and live, this work must only be per
formed
by a qualified person who understands the danger involved.
Faults and abnormal stress:
When it is realized that the safe operation is no longer possible, take the
meter out of service and secure it against accidental use.
Safe operation may not be possible,
when the meter shows obvious signs of damage,
when the meter no longer functions, correctly
after prolonged storage under adverse conditions,
due to severe stress during transportation.

Automatic TURN-OFF
The meter turns off automatica,lly when neither a push button nor the
function selector switch is operated for about 10 minutes.
How to prevent automatic TURN-OFF
In order to prevent automatic "TURN OFF" select "CONTINUOUYSL
ON" mode. For this, press “Down and Inrush” push button and the “Min/Max
and Hold " pushbutton together. The function “ CONTINUOUSLY ON ”
is shown on the LCD by the symbol

activating MIN/MAX function.The most important application is the
determination of the minimum and the maximum value for long-term
monitoring of measured quantities.
