Chapter II

4.3. Measuring AC current

Set the switch to A~.
Open the clamp by pressing the trigger.
Place the clamp around the conductor to be measured
and release the trigger; check that the clamp is closed
properly. Read the result of the measurement on the
display.
Note: For safety reasons, disconnect the measuring
leads before performing this operation. The clamp
must be positioned around a single conductor in a
circuit, with the risk of rendering the measurement
incorrect. The best measurement is obtained with the
conductor centred in the middle of the jaws.
