Maintenance

Warning:
To avoid electric shock, please remove the test leads before opening the bottom cover.

  1. If the Clamp Meter is not in use, please turn it off to avoid consuming battery power continuously.
  2. General maintenance
    • The maintenance and service must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel or a designated service center.
    • Please clean the case with a dry cloth regularly. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
  3. Battery replacement (Figure 13)
    • Power supply: AA 1.5 V battery × 2
    • Please follow the procedure below for battery installation/replacement.
      • Power off the Clamp Meter and remove the test lead from the input terminal.
      • With the front side of the Clamp Meter facing down, loosen the screws, remove the battery cover, take out the batteries, and then install new batteries (Do not reverse the battery polarity).
      • Install the battery cover and tighten the screws.UNI-T-UT219PV-Professional-AC-DC-Clamp-Meter-Fig- (34)
