User manual IDEAL ND2353

[. . . ] Ensure meter is in proper working order before using. Performing a continuity check can verify proper operation. If the meter reading goes from overload to zero, this typically means the meter is in proper working order. Visually inspect leads for damage before using. [. . . ] Release the trigger and be sure that the jaws have closed completely. If the meter is in auto-ranging mode, the range will be automatically selected. If the meter is in manual ranging mode, press the range button to select the desired range. Measure AC current. 5 6 DC Current Measurements DC Current Range 400A 2000A 2000-2500A Overload Protection: Resolution 0. 1A 1A 1A + 3000A Accuracy ±(1. 5% +3) ±(2. 0% +3) 4. Release the trigger and be sure that the jaws have closed completely. If the meter is in auto-ranging mode, the range will be automatically selected. If the meter is in manual ranging mode, press the range button to select the desired range.

Push and hold the DCA Zero button until the reading shows zero. Using the trigger to open the jaws, fully enclose the conductor within the clamp. 7 Current Range (AC, DC) 0-400A 400-2100A Overload Protection: 600VAC Output 1mV/A 1mV/A Accuracy ±(2. 5% +0. 5A) ±(2. 5% +5A) 8 To Connect to a Monitoring Device 1. The analog output of the meter is proportional to the current measurement (1mV/A). Connect the monitoring device to the input terminals of the power clamp meter. The red terminal is positive and the black terminal is negative . Connect these two terminals to an oscilloscope, chart recorder or data logger to observe the wave form, or record the data for future analysis. AC Voltage Measurements AC Voltage Resolution Accuracy Range (50/60Hz) Accuracy (40-1kHz) Input Impedance 5.

Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red test lead into the + terminal. Connect the test probes in parallel with the load or circuit. If the meter is in auto-ranging mode, the range will be automatically selected. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red test lead into the + terminal. [. . . ] Replace the back case, and secure the case screws. 14 Lifetime Limited Warranty This meter is warranted to the original purchaser against defects in material or workmanship for the lifetime of the meter. During this warranty period, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. will, at its option, replace or repair the defective unit, subject to verification of the defect or malfunction. This warranty does not apply to defects resulting from abuse, neglect, accident, unauthorized repair, alteration, or unreasonable use of the instrument. [. . . ]
