2. Safety Information
Always adhere to basic safety precautions when using electrical testing equipment to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury. Keep this manual for future reference.
- Do not exceed the maximum input values specified for each function.
- Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages above 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, or 60V DC. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
- Before measuring current, ensure the instrument is properly set up and the test leads are correctly connected.
- Always disconnect the test leads from the circuit before changing functions or ranges.
- Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal before use. Replace if damaged.
- Do not operate the instrument if it appears damaged or if it is not functioning properly.
- Ensure the battery cover is securely closed before operation.
- Use caution when working in wet environments.
- For current measurement with the clamp meter, clamp around only one wire, not the entire power cord, to obtain an accurate reading.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 KAIWEETS HT206D Digital Clamp Meter
Turn the rotary dial to select the desired measurement function.
5.1.1 AC/DC Current Measurement (Clamp)
- Turn the rotary dial to the "600A" or "60A" AC/DC current range.
- Open the clamp jaws and enclose a single conductor. Ensure the conductor is centered within the jaws.
- Read the current value on the display.
- Important: To measure current, the clamp must enclose only one conductor. Clamping around an entire power cord (which contains both live and neutral wires) will result in a zero reading.

This image shows the KAIWEETS HT206D Digital Clamp Meter in use, clamping around a single electrical wire to measure current. The display shows a reading of "270.1 AC".
5.1.2 AC/DC Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode, Continuity, Temperature Measurement
- Connect the red test lead to the "VΩHz" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
- Turn the rotary dial to the desired function (e.g., V~ for AC Voltage, V- for DC Voltage, Ω for Resistance, etc.).
- For temperature measurement, connect the K-type thermocouple to the appropriate input jacks (usually marked with temperature symbols) and select the temperature function.
- Apply the test leads or thermocouple to the circuit or component under test.
- Read the measurement on the display.

This image illustrates the KAIWEETS HT206D Digital Clamp Meter measuring temperature using the included K-type thermocouple. Examples show measurements in liquid, gas, and solid states, with a temperature range of -4°F to 1832°F.
5.1.3 NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) Detection
- Press the NCV button (located on the right side of the meter).
- Move the top of the clamp meter near a live conductor.
- The meter will indicate the presence of AC voltage through an audible beep and/or visual indicator.

This image demonstrates two functions of the clamp meter. On the left, the NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) function is shown detecting voltage near an outlet. On the right, the HOLD function is activated by a short press of the 'H' button, freezing the display reading.
5.1.4 LowZ & LPF Functions
- LowZ (Low Input Impedance): Helps prevent false readings caused by "ghost voltages" in circuits. Select this mode when ghost voltages are suspected.
- LPF (Low Pass Filter): Used for accurate measurement of variable frequency drive (VFD) signals, common in motor and transformer applications.
5.1.5 Data Hold (MAX/MIN)
- Press the "HOLD" button to freeze the current display reading. Press again to release.
- Press the "MAX/MIN" button to record the maximum or minimum values during a measurement session.
5.2 KAIWEETS 0.8V-100V DC Smart Automotive Test Light
5.2.1 Smart Mode Operation
The test light defaults to Smart Mode, automatically detecting and measuring DC voltage, continuity, and resistance without manual range selection.
- Ensure the alligator clip is securely connected to a ground point.
- Touch the probe tip to the circuit or component to be tested.
- The display will automatically show the detected measurement type (DC Voltage, Continuity, or Resistance) and its value.

- Battery Replacement (HT206D Clamp Meter): When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 4.1.
- Storage: Store the instruments in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove batteries from the clamp meter.
- Probe and Lead Inspection: Regularly inspect test leads and probes for any signs of damage, such as cuts, cracks, or exposed wiring. Replace damaged components immediately.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clamp Meter does not power on. | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries. | Check battery polarity; replace batteries. |
| Clamp Meter shows "OL" (Overload). | Measurement exceeds selected range or instrument's maximum capacity. | Select a higher range if available, or ensure the measurement is within the instrument's specifications. |
| Clamp Meter current reading is zero. | Clamping around multiple conductors (e.g., a power cord). | Ensure the clamp jaws enclose only a single conductor. |
| Test Light shows "OL". | DC voltage exceeds 100V. | The voltage is outside the test light's measurement range. Use a different instrument for higher voltages. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Poor contact, damaged leads, or incorrect function selection. | Ensure good contact, inspect and replace leads if damaged, verify correct function is selected. |
