Frequently Asked Questions - PAN 200A+ Pancontrol

How to measure AC current with the PAN 200A+?

Open the clamp by pressing the lever, place a single conductor wire in the center of the clamp, then close. The device automatically displays the current if >0.01 A. To measure frequency, press the Hz button.

How to measure AC or DC voltage?

Connect the black lead to the COM jack and the red to the V/Ω jack. Touch the measurement points with the probes. The device automatically detects the voltage type. For AC voltage, the threshold is >1.0 V; for DC voltage, >0.5 V.

How to measure resistance?

Connect the leads as for a voltage measurement. Touch both ends of the resistor with the probes. The device displays the resistance if the signal is <0.5 V (for DC voltage) or <1.0 V (for AC voltage). Read the stabilized value.

How to use the continuity test?

The continuity test is automatic when the measured resistance is below 50 Ω: a beep sounds. If the circuit is open, the display shows 'OL'.

How to use the non-contact voltage tester (NCV)?

Press and hold the NCV button (5.2) for 2 seconds. Bring the end of the device close to a cable or outlet. If a dangerous voltage (>90 V) is detected, an audible alarm sounds and the indicator flashes.

How to freeze a measured value on the screen?

Briefly press the HOLD button (5.1). The 'H' symbol appears and the value is frozen. Press again to deactivate.

How to turn on the backlight?

Press and hold the HOLD button (5.1) for 2 seconds to turn the backlight on or off.

How to replace the batteries?

When the battery symbol appears, turn off the device and remove the leads. Open the battery compartment, replace the two AAA batteries respecting polarity, then close.

How to clean the device?

Use a damp cloth with a little mild household detergent. Avoid any liquid entering the device. Never use caustic cleaners or solvents.

What are the important safety precautions?

Follow the instructions: do not measure on live circuits without protection, do not use the device if damaged, do not exceed maximum values, and isolate yourself properly. The device is CAT III 600 V rated.

8. Operating Instructions

General information

Always switch OFF the device when it is not in use.

=lease refer to the sketches on the first pages of this manual.

To switch the unit on or off, press the main switch (6) for about 2 seconds.

Attention!

Avoid voltage measuring in electrical circuits while motors are switched on or off. The stress-spikes can damage the instrument.

<azardous voltage! The probes may not be long enough to touch the hot parts in some 230V wall sockets as they are deep inside. As a result, the reading can show 0 volts. Make sure that the probes touch the metallic contacts in the socket before assuming that voltage has not been applied.

Devices like welding transformer, car ignition system, etc. could produce stray electromagnetic fields which could adulterate the result of a measurement.

Data hold

%f the reading could not be read during measurement due to difficult operation the „<OLD"-button (5.1) could be pressed to freeze the display reading.

1. =ress the „<OLD"-button to freeze the display reading.
2. The display shows the "<"-symbol to indicate the activated <OLD function.
3. =ress the „<OLD"-button again to return to standard operation.

Backlight

To turn the backlight on or off, press for two seconds the button (5.1).

Automatic/Manual Range selection

When the meter is switched on, it is in the auto ranging mode. The device automatically detects the appropriate measuring range. Manual range selection is not possible.

Auto power off

If no further measurements are carried out, the device switches off automatically after 10 minutes.

Non Contact Voltage tester 6NCV)

• To turn on the NCV function, press the NCV key (5.2) for two seconds. The NCV symbol appears on the display.
- ±eep the tip of the measuring device to a power outlet or a cable and press the NCV key. In the presence of dangerous voltage, (>90 V) a signal tone sounds and the LED indicator lights up.
- Even without an alarm, dangerous voltage can be concerned! This depends on various factors. Therefore, if necessary, check the zero voltage with the voltmeter.
- No other measurements are possible in NCV mode.

AC Current measurement and Frequency measurement 6Current)

Alternating current measurements are only carried out via the pliers. DC measurements are not possible.

Always measure current on one conductor only.

Covering more than one conductor results in measuring differential current (like identifying leakage current). To avoid measuring errors related to other hot conductors, please observe maximum phase-to-phase clearance.

• Press the lever to open the induction jaw.

• Place the wire in the center of the pliers opening as far as possible and close the measuring pliers again.

• If the current level is >0.01 A, the current is displayed.

• Press the Hz key (5.2) - If the current level is >0.2 A, the frequency is displayed.

AC Voltage measurement and Frequency measurement 6Voltage)

• Attach the pin-plug of the black test lead to the COM-jack and the pin-plug of the red test lead to the general jack (V, Ω).
• Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.
• The device detects DC voltage, alternating voltage or resistance automatically. Alternating current is detected via the pliers.
• If the input signal is >=1.0 ~V AC , the voltage is displayed. (V\~) An input signal of <1.0 ~V AC indicates the resistance. (Ω)
• Press the Hz key (5.2) - If the voltage is > 1,0 V, the frequency is displayed.
  • Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.

DC Voltage measurement

• Attach the pin-plug of the black test lead to the COM-jack and the pin-plug of the red test lead to the general jack (V, Ω).
• Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.
• The device detects DC voltage, alternating voltage or resistance automatically. Alternating current is detected via the pliers.
• If the input signal is >=0.5 V, the voltage is displayed. (V=) An input signal of <0.5 V indicates the resistance. ( )
• Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.
• If the polarity is twisted a "Minus sign" is displayed.

Resistance measurement

• Attach the pin-plug of the black test lead to the COM-jack and the pin-plug of the red test lead to the general jack (V, Ω).
• Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.
  • Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.
