physical appearance. (Do not use the instrument if there is any
damage to the casing, battery cover, display and labels
or when the casing is removed.)
• The barrier is there to protect you from touching the conductor.
Be careful not to reach cross the barrier when using the
instrument.
• Disconnect the instrument from the measurable conductors
under test before opening the casing to replace the battery.
• Do not use the product when there are raindrops or droplets
of condensed water on its surface, or if your hands are wet.
• Safety protectors such as rubber-insulated gloves should be
worn to prevent electrical shock when using the instrument.
• Do not use this product in a place where an explosive
gas or vapor is present.
• Do not open the case except when replacing batteries.
Only Yokogawa service personnel are authorized to remove
the casing or disassemble or modify the instrument.
Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself,
as doing so is extremely dangerous.

the electromagnetic compatibility requirenents.
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.
CAUTION
• Do not use the instrument near noise-emitting equipment
or where there may be sudden changes in temperature.
Otherwise, the instrument may produce an unstable readings
or errors.

2. AUTO POWER OFF Function
2.1 When the AUTO POWER OFF Function is Used
• AUTO OFF appears.
• The instrument automatically turns off 10 minutes after
the last switch operation. A buzzer starts to beep 15 seconds
before the automatic power-off.
• Pressing any switch after the beep restarts the auto power-off
function.
2.2 When the AUTO POWER OFF Function is not Used
(Cancellation of the AUTO POWER OFF Function)
• Turn off the power.
• With the DATA HOLD switch held down, press the POWER
switch for more than 2 seconds to turn on the power.
This causes the buzzer to sound, canceling the AUTO
POWER OFF function (the AUTO OFF display goes off).
If the instrument is used with the AUTO POWER OFF function
cancelled, take care not to let the battery run down.
2.3 Recovering the AUTO POWER OFF Function
• Turn off the power.
• Turn on the power. This enables the AUTO POWER OFF
function to recover. (AUTO OFF appears.)
3. Measuring Instructions
3.1 Before measurement
a) Examine the casing, battery cover, display, and labels of
the instrument for abnormalities.
b) Make sure that the battery cover is rmly closed.
3.2 AC Current Measurement (unit: mA/A)
a) Press the POWER switch to turn on the power.
b) Squeeze the open/close lever to open the jaws.
Insert a wire from the measurable conductors under test
through the jaws, making sure the tops of the jaws are
tightly shut.
c) When the reading stabilizes, read the value.
If you have difculties in reading the value,
use the DATA HOLD function.
d) When measuring Load Current, press the mA/A switch to
change to A range.
e) When you have nished measurement,
press the POWER switch to turn off the tester.
CAUTION
The correct measured values are not displayed if the jaws
do not t precisely. Make sure that they are shut tightly.
3.3 Using the DATA HOLD switch
Pressing the DATA HOLD switch retains the measured data
and displays .
The mA/A selector switch and the FILTER switch cannot be used
in this situation.
The only switches that can be used are the DATA HOLD switch
(to cancel data holding) and the POWER switch.

4. Range Selection
4.1 Range Selection
Switching between the 3 mA and 30 mA ranges and between
the 30 A and 60 A ranges is performed by auto-ranging
(automatic).
For switching between the 3/30 mA and 30/60 A ranges,
the range must be switched using the mA/A selector switch.

5. Battery Replacement
5.1 Battery Voltage
If the battery runs down and its voltage falls below the
operating voltage (effective range), the symbol appears in
the LCD display; promptly replace the battery with a new one.
(Battery: CR2032, 1 piece)
CAUTION
• The specied accuracy is assured when the battery voltage
is in the effective range.
If the symbol is displayed, promptly replace the battery.
• If the power does not come on even after pressing the
POWER switch, the battery voltage may have fallen too low.
Replace the battery with a new one.
5.2 Replacing the Battery
CAUTION
• Before replacing the battery, always disconnect the tester from
the measurable conductor under test because there is a risk
of electrical shock. After replacement, close the battery cover
securely and conduct measurements.
• Use the specied lithium battery (CR2032).
To replace the battery:
a) Press the POWER switch to turn off the power.
b) Turn the battery cover on the backside of the instrument in
the direction of the arrow using a coin, etc.
c) Remove the cover and the battery.
d) Insert a new battery, making sure that the polarities are
correct.
e) Close the cover back in place by turning it in the reverse
direction of the arrow.
Inserting a Battery Closing the Battery Cover
Battery cover
Insert the battery being careful
that the polarities are correct.
Close the battery cover,
aligning the arrow's tail with
the dot and then turn clockwise.

7. Filtering Function
The instrument has a function for turning the lter on (use)/off.
Press the FILTER switch for more than 2 seconds to turn it on/off
(default: ON). When the lter is on, the symbol appears.
When the FILTER switch is turned on, the sharp lter is enabled.
This lter attenuates 2nd-order and higher harmonic currents and
measures only the fundamental harmonics.

■ To Ensure Accurate Measurement
The maximum input current of the harmonic components in
the 3 mA and 30 mA ranges is 150 mA.
If the input exceeds 150 mA, the correct value is not displayed.
In some cases, “0L” does not appear and an error becomes
larger or readings do not change.
Therefore, follow the procedure below to check if the current
under measurement including 2nd-order and higher harmonic
components exceeds 150 mA.
Checking procedure:
1.Press the mA/A selector switch to choose the 30 A range.
2.Press the FILTER switch to select FILTER OFF and conduct
measurement.
3.Check that the measured value (reading) in the 30A range is
0.15 A* or less.
4.When the measured value is 0.15A or less, switch the range to
3 mA/30 mA and conduct measurement.
*: The accuracy of the 30 Arange is 1.0% of reading +5 digits
(0.05A < I ≤ 50 A).
Five digits are equivalent to 0.05 A; when checking the current,
also consider the accuracy. IM 30032A-E <P2>
