a) Current measuring „A“
Proceed as follows to measure „AC“ (A~) currents:
- Turn the meter on at the
rotary switch and select one
of the two measuring ranges
in „A~“ (40 or 400).
- Open the clamp meter sen-
sor with the lever (3) and
encirle the cable which is to
be measured and reclose the
clamp meter sensor. The
measured value is indicated
on the display
☞
Only ever clamp one cable. If you clamp several cables, the currents
will cancel one another out and you will not get a measurement.
The permanent magnetism of the current sensor may lead to a small
current being shown in the display even when no cable is clamped.
To set the display to „0“, press the REL button before measuring (8).
- After measuring, remove the measuring leads from the measured object and turn
the meter off. Turn the rotary switch to „OFF“.
Proceed as follows to measure direct currents DC (A ) (VC-521 only):
- Turn the meter on at the rotary switch and select one of the two measuring
ranges in „A “ (40 or 400).
- Open the clamp meter sensor with the lever (3) and encirle the cable which is to
be measured and reclose the clamp meter sensor. The measured value is indi-
cated on the display
