General Tools and Instruments DAMP68 v.1 - Manuel (Page 12)

press the SHIFT button to select DC current
measurement. Before measuring DC current,
press the
ZERO button to clear (offset) the
last reading from the display.
(2) Squeezing the clamp jaw release to open the
jaw, place it around the conductor whose
current you wish to measure. Be sure to
enclose only one conductor (see figure below).
Enclosing both conductors of a pair will
produce a reading of 0.
Note:
General’s ACL10 line splitter makes it possible
to safely attach the DAMP60 or DAMP68 to
a line cord carrying up to 15A AC without
separating its conductors, thereby damaging
the cord. For more information or to order, visit
www.generaltools.com and enter “ACL10” in
the SEARCH box.
(3) Read the measured value from the display. In
the case of the DAMP68, the displayed value
is a True RMS reading.
Notes:
Clamp the jaw around one
conductor only.
Close the jaw completely.
Center the wire in the jaw
for highest accuracy.
