The METRACLIP 41 / METRACLIP 410 clamp-on- meters have been designed for reliable and accurate, non-intrusive measurement of AC, DC and complex waveform currents. Using advanced Hall Effect technology the METRACLIP 41 / METRACLIP 410 can measure currents accurately from 5mA to 40 Amps (METRACLIP 41) and from 100mA to 400A (METRACLIP 410). Measurement features include: True RMS reading 1mA / 10mA Resolution Autoranging / Autozeroing / Auto Power Off Data Hold These features make it a powerful tool for use in inverters, switch mode power supplies, industrial controllers and other applications requiring current measurement and/or waveform analysis.

Move the switch from OFF position to either DC or AC to select the required mode of operation.

When in DC mode the display zero may change due to thermal shifts and other environmental conditions. To null the display reading depress the Auto Zero button. Ensure that the clamp meter is away from the current carrying conductor whilst the display reading is being nulled.

4.3 Current Measurement

Select DC or AC option as required using the switch. Zero the display reading using the Auto Zero button. Clamp the jaws round the conductor ensuring a good contact between the closing faces of the jaws. Observe and take measurements as required. Positive output indicates that the current flow is in the direction shown by the arrow on the probe.

To activate the data hold press the Hold button once. The last reading will be held on the display. Press the hold button again to go back to the normal operation.

In order to save battery life, the clamp meter will automatically switch itself off after approximately 10 minutes. To disable the Auto power off function, Switch Off the probe and Switch On whilst pressing the auto zero button.

4.6 Battery Replacement

When the Low Battery symbol is illuminated in the display the minimum battery voltage has been reached. Refer to Fig. 1 and use the following procedure to replace the battery. SAFETY WARNING Before removing the battery cover, make sure that the clamp-on-meter is remote from any live electrical circuit.7

Unclamp the clamp meter from the conductor, turn it off using the On - Off switch. Loosen the captive screw which secures the battery cover. Lift the cover through 30° and pull it clea r of the body as shown in Fig 1. Replace the battery and re-fit the battery cover and fasten the screw . Fit only Type 9 V PP3 Alkaline (MN 1604).

EN 61010-1:2001 EN 61010-2-032:2002 EN 61010-031:2002 300V Cat III Pollution Degree 2 EMC Standards EN 61326-2-2:2006 ROHS and WEEE compliant This product is designed to be safe under the following conditions: - indoor use - altitude up to 2000m - temperature 0°C to +50°C - maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 40% relative humidity at 50°C. Use of the clamp-on-meter on uninsulated conductors is limited to 300V AC RMS or d.c. and frequencies below 1kHz. Safety in its use is the responsibility of the operator who must be a suitably qualified or authorised person. Ensure that your fingers are behind the protective barrier see FIG 1 when using the clamp meter. Always inspect the clamp-on-meter for damage before use. To avoid electric shock, keep the clamp-on-meter clean and free of surface contamination. Use Isopropyl alcohol to clean the clamp-on-meter.8
