4. Operation (For use with a clamp on AC current recorder refer to operating instructions supplied with it) |
4-1. Preparation With the output cord of the clamp adaptor connected to a digital miltimeter (AC voltmeter) having a minimum input impedance of 100k£[, set the clamp adaptor range switch to the highest range and the digital multimeter range to 200mV AC or 2V AC. ¡@ |
4-2.Press the adaptor jaw trigger to open the transformer jaw and clamp on an AC current
carrying conductor. Take the multimeter
reading in amperes directly or multiply it by a proper ¡@ |

How to Interpret reading |
6A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 4A | Multiply by 0.04 or 40. |
15A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 10A | Multiply by 0.1 or 100. |
30A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 20A | Multiply by 0.2 or 200. |
60A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 40A | Multiply by 0.4 or 400. |
150A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 100A | Read directly Or multiply by 1000. |
300A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 200A | Multiply by 2 or 2000. |
1500A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 1000A | Multiply by 10 or 10000. |
3000A | 150mV | 100mV or .0100v | 2000A | Multiply by 20 or 20000. |
