FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
These clamp meters have been designed for industrial use. They are high performance
instruments offering a wide variety of measurements. Their over-mold housing as well
as their ergonomic design makes them indispensable, durable and rugged for almost
any situation or application.
DAMP60 is a 3-1/2 digit auto ranging digital display clamp meter. It measures DC/ACV;
AC Current; Resistance; Diode Test; Continuity Buzzer and Frequency.
DAMP68 is a 3-3/4 digit auto/manual ranging digital display clamp meter with true RMS
measurement. It measures true RMS AC/DC Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance
Frequency, Diode Test, Continuity Buzzer and Temperature Measurement.

SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
◆Do not perform the performance tests or adjustment procedures described in this manual unless
you are qualified to do so.
◆The information provided in this manual is for the use of qualified personnel only.
◆Read “Safety Information” before using this meter.
◆These multimeters are battery operated, with a digital display.
◆These Meters comply with IEC61010-1，2001 CAT Ⅲ600V. Refer to “GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS” for more information.
◆In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user.
◆A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
International symbols used on the Meter and in this manual are explained in Table 1 on page 11.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter
or to the equipment under test, comply with the following practices:
1. Do not use the Meter in a manner not specified by this manual or the safety features
of the Meter may be impaired.
2. Before using the Meter, inspect the case. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation
around the connectors.
3. Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check
the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.
4. Verify a Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage. Do not use the Meter if it operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
5. Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter,
between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
6. Do not measure voltages above 600 V in Category III installations.

Warning

7. Do not measure voltage when the function/range switch is set on the
resistance (ohms), current, capacitance or temperature settings. Never measure current when the
meter is set on the resistance (ohms), capacitance or temperature settings. Never measure AC
voltage when the meter is set on DC voltage or DC current settings. Setting the meter on the
incorrect function may burn out some of the internal circuitry and may pose a safety hazard.
8. Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V AC rms, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC.
These voltages pose a shock hazard.
9. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for all measurements.
10. Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
11. When using the probes, keep the fingers behind the finger guards.
Do not touch the metal probes of the test leads when making a measurement.
12.When making connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the
live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before
disconnecting the common test lead.
13.Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
15.
16. Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed.
.Use only two “AAA” 1.5V batteries (DAMP60), or three “AAA” 1.5V batteries (DAMP68),
properly installed in the Meter case, to power the Meter. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
17. Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears. Operated with a
low battery, the Meter might produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and
personal injury.
18. Don’t replace batteries with wrong type. Otherwise you may encounter hazards.
19. Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery door.
20. When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.

14.For all DC functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to avoid the risk of shock due to possible
select a DC voltage range equal to or greater than the AC range.
improper reading, verify the presence of any AC voltages by first using the AC function. Then
