4.3.2. DC Voltage measurement
WARNING
Maximum input for DC Voltage measurements is 600V. Do not attempt to
take any voltage measurement that exceeds the limits. Exceeding the limits
could cause electrical shock and damage the clamp meter.
Fig. 5: Use of clamp for DC voltage measures
1. Select the ““ V ”position of selector functions.
2. Insert the test leads into the jack, the red plug into V/
Ω jack, and black plug into COM
jack, like showed in Fig. 5.
3. Insert the two long ends of test leads to the desired circuit, then reading will be
displayed with automatic detection of the appropriate range.
4. If the reading is preceded by the "-" sign check this indicate that Voltage polarity its
reversed. Invert terminal leads for correct indication.
5. Pressing the R-H / key (HT4016 only) you can select manually the measurement
ranges in cyclic order. Press the R-H / key more than 1 second to come back to
AUTOMATIC range selection.
6. The "
O.L
" symbol means that the measured quantity is higher than the selected
range. Press the R-H / key to select a higher range.
7. If the reading is difficult, press the D-H key to hold the obtained value. To exit from this
function press D-H key again.
8. Press MAX/MIN key to activate the saving of Maximum and/or Minimum values of
parameters. Press MAX/MIN key more than 1 second to exit function (see chapter
4.2.5. for details).
WARNING
wa
As the clamp has high input impedance, it could happen that the meter
shows a continuous digits oscillation at display with missed signals on
inputs which is the result of the amplification of external noise. This is not a
defect, indeed the user can proceed with a test as the temporary displayed
value will not be added to the measured value.
