WARNING
●Never make measurement on a circuit above 750V AC or 1000V DC.
●Do not use the instrument in an atmosphere where any flammable or
explosive gas is present.
●Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gasses,
fumes, vapor or dust. Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause
sparking, which can lead to an explosion.
●Avoid using the instrument if it has been exposed to rain or moisture or if
your hands are wet.
●Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement range.
●Never open the battery compartment cover when making measurement.
●Do not use the instrument if there is any damage to the casing or when the
casing is removed.
●Do not turn the Function Selector switch with plugged in test leads con-
nected to the circuit under test.
●Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument.
Return the instrument to Yokogawa Meter & Instruments or your distributor
for repair or re-calibration.
●Always switch off the instrument before opening the battery compartment
cover for battery replacement.
●Do not use the test leads that have deteriorated or are detective.
●Check the test leads continuity
WARNING
To avoid damage to the instrument or electric shock!
The restrictions on the maximum voltage level for which the CL150 testers
can be used, depend on the measurement categories specified by the safety
standards. These category specifications are formulated to protect operators
against transient impulse voltage in power lines.

CAUTION
●Always make sure to insert each plug of the test leads fully into the appro-
priate terminal on the instrument.
●Make sure to remove the test leads from the instrument before making
current measurement.
●Be sure to set the Function Selector switch to the "OFF" position after use.
When the instrument will not be in use for a long period of time, Place it in
storage after removing the battery.
●Use a damp cloth and detergent for cleaning the instrument. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
NOTE
●Radiation immunity affects the accuracy of CL150 testers under the
conditions specified in EN 61000-4-3.
●If equipment generating strong electromagnetic interference is located
nearly, the testers may malfunction.

(1) Transformer Jaws : Pick up current flowing through the conductor.
(2) Open/Close Lever : Operates the transformer jaws. Press to open the
Transformer Jaws.
(3) Function Selector Switch : Selects ranges. Also used to power the
instrument on.
(4) Data Hold Button : Freezes the display reading. " " is shown on the
display when Data Hold is enabled.
(5) Mode Selector Button : On a AC current (" 400A" or " 2000A" or
the resistance ( ) range. Press the mode button to cycle through the
measurement modes. The instrument is initially set to the normal mode and
can be switched to peak or continuity check mode by means of the mode
button.

microprocessor based on the selected function and measuring mode.
(8) Terminal Cover : Slides over Hi and Lo Terminals to prevent access to them
when OUTPUT terminal is in use.
(9) OUTPUT Terminal (For " 400A" or " 2000A" range only) : Provides DC
voltage output in proportion to the AC or DC current reading. (See section
3.3, OUTPUT Terminal.) The out-put is connected to a recording device
such as a chart recorder for long hour monitoring. No output is available on
voltage and resistance ranges.
(10) Lo Terminal : Accepts the black test lead for voltage or resistance
measurement.
(11) Hi Terminal : Accepts the red test lead for voltage or resistance meas-
urement.
(12) Safety Hand Strap : Prevents the instrument from slipping off the hand
during use.
(13) Test Leads (Model 98072) : Connected to Lo and Hi terminals for voltage
or resistance measurement.
(14) Barrier: It is a part providing protection against electrical shock and
ensuring the minimum required air and creepage distances.

2.1PreparationforMeasurement
CAUTION
●The jaw section is a delicate, precision sensor. Do not subject the jaw to
unreasonably strong shock, vibration, or force when using it.
●If dust gets into the tops of the jaws, remove it immediately. Do not close the
jaws when dust is trapped in its joints as the sensor may break.
●Please check that the function and mode are set to the desired setting
before measurement.
2.2CurrentMeasurement
WARNING
●Do not make measurement on a circuit above 750VDC. This may cause
shock hazard or damage to the instrument or equipment under test.
●Do not make current measurement with the test leads connected to the Hi
and Lo terminals.
●When measuring current is not less than 1000A, make sure to stop meas-
urement within the maximum measuring time shown below. Otherwise,
transformer jaws may heat to cause a fire or deformation of molded parts,
which will degrade insulation.
1000 to 1500A : 15min. 1500 to 2000A : 5min.
●Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier during measurement.

2.2.1ACCurrentMeasurement(NormalMode)
(1) Set the Function Selector switch to the " 400A" or " 2000A" position.
"AC" should be shown on the upper left corner of the display.
(2) Press the open/close lever to open the transformer jaws and clamp them
onto the conductor under test, then take the reading on the display. The
most accurate reading will be obtained by keeping the conductor at the
center of the transformer jaws.
NOTE
●During current measurement, keep the transformer jaws fully closed.
Otherwise, accurate measurement cannot be made. The maximum
measurable conductor size is approx. 54.5mm in diameter.
●The transformer jaws may buzz when measuring large current. This has no
effect on the instruments performance or safety.
2.2.2PeakCurrentMeasurement(PeakMode)
(1) Set the Function Selector switch to the " 400A" or " 2000A" position.
(2) Press the button once to enter from the normal mode to the PEAK
mode. " " should be shown on the display.
(3) Press the open/close lever to open the transformer jaws and clamp them
onto the conductor under test. Then, press the button.
(4) The display shows the currents crest value divided by the square root of
two. Therefore, when the current is sinusoidal, the reading equals RMS
value.
(5) To reset the display, press the button.
(6) After the measurement is over, press the button to return to the
normal mode.
NOTE
●In the Peak measurement mode, the data hold feature is disabled.
●In the Peak measurement mode, the response time is 10ms.

the red test lead into the Hi terminal and the black test lead into Lo terminal.
(3) Connect the tip of the red and black test leads to the positive (+) and
negative (-) sides of the circuit under test respectively. Take the reading on
the display.
2.3.2ACVoltageMeasurement
(1) Set the Function Selector switch to the " V " position. "AC" should be shown
