• Rotary Switch: Selects measurement functions and ranges.
• HOLD Key: Press to hold the current reading. Press and hold for more than 2 seconds to activate/deactivate backlight.
• SELECT Key: Used to switch between functions within a rotary switch position (e.g., AC/DC, Diode/Continuity).
• MAX/MIN Key: Press to display maximum or minimum measured values. Press and hold for 2 seconds to exit.
• REL Key: Relative measurement function.
• Hz/Duty Key: On ACV/ACA or Hz range, press to select Frequency or Duty Cycle measurement.
• LCD Display: 6000 counts digital display with full function symbols.
• COM Input Jack: Common input for test leads.
• VΩHzT+ Input Jack: Input for voltage, resistance, frequency, temperature, diode, and capacitance measurements.

4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The AP-570S-APP requires 2 AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:

1. Ensure the meter is powered OFF.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the meter.
3. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
4. Insert the 2 AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

If the battery symbol flashes on the display, the battery is low and needs replacement for continued normal operation.

4.2 Bluetooth APP Connection

The meter can connect to a mobile phone via Bluetooth for data measurement and analysis using the 'AiLink' app.

1. Step 1: Download the App. Scan the QR code provided in the product packaging or search for 'AiLink' in the Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iOS). Download and install the application. The app is compatible with iPhone 4S (iOS 7.0 and up) or Android 4.30 systems and up. You can also visit aicare.net.cn/app/ailink/download/ for direct download.
2. Step 2: Connect to the Phone. Open the 'AiLink' app. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. The app should automatically pair with the clamp meter nearby. Press the 'App' button within the application to initiate the connection.
3. Step 3: Start Measurement. Once connected, you can start measurements, save data, and analyze it through the mobile app.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Operation

To begin a measurement, turn the Rotary Switch to the desired function. Use the SELECT button to toggle between AC/DC modes or other sub-functions if available within that range.

5.2 Measurement Functions

The AP-570S-APP offers the following measurement capabilities:

• AC/DC Voltage: Measure AC voltage from 6V to 750V and DC voltage from 600mV to 1000V. Connect test leads to the VΩHzT+ and COM jacks.
• AC/DC Current: Measure AC/DC current from 600A to 1000A using the clamp jaws. Ensure the conductor is centered within the jaws.
• Resistance: Measure resistance from 600Ω to 60MΩ. Connect test leads to the VΩHzT+ and COM jacks.
• Capacitance: Measure capacitance from 6nF to 60mF. Connect test leads to the VΩHzT+ and COM jacks.
• Frequency: Measure frequency from 9.999Hz to 9.999MHz. Use the Hz/Duty key to switch to frequency measurement.
• Temperature: Measure temperature from -20℃ to 1000℃ (-4℉ to 1832℉) using the included thermocouple. The unit can be switched between ℃ and ℉.

• Auto Power Off: The meter will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to save battery life. Set the function switch to OFF when finished operating to conserve battery power.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Wipe the meter's casing with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the meter is completely dry before use.

6.2 Storage

When not in use, store the meter in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the batteries if storing for an extended period.

7. Troubleshooting

• Meter does not power on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Low Battery Indicator: If the battery symbol flashes on the display, replace the batteries immediately.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure test leads are properly connected and the correct function is selected. Verify the circuit is within the meter's specified range.
• Bluetooth App Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the 'AiLink' app has necessary permissions (e.g., location access). Restart both the meter and the app if connection fails.
• General Questions: If you encounter any issues not covered here, please consult the manufacturer for assistance.
