1Set the rotary switch to ~A.

2Press Shift to switch between AC current, DC current (for U1212A and

U1213A only), and AC+DC current (for U1213A only) measurements.

3Press the handle to open the clamp jaw.

4Clamp around a conductor and ensure that the conductor fits the

markings on the jaw.

5Read the display. Press Hz to view the frequency indication on the

secondary display.

Quick Start Guide

CAUTIONCAUTION

Ensure that the clamp meter measures only one conductor

at a time. Measuring multiple conductors may cause

inaccuracy in measurement reading due to vector sum of

currents flowing in the conductors.
