AC Amps: <400A Features: RANGE Single Conductor Only DL389B True RMS HOLD MAX/MIN Hz / Duty SELECT TEMP DISCONNECT TEST LEADS CATll1000V CATIII600V • Center wire in guides for best accuracy. • Opposing currents cancel (use line-splitter when necessary). Keep hands below guard when measuring high current levels.
AC/DC Low Amps: <2000µA Features: RANGE DL389B True RMS µA • Default = • Press x1 = µA HOLD MAX/MIN Hz / Duty SELECT TEMP DISCONNECT TEST LEADS CATll1000V CATIII600V WARNING • Do not attempt to measure more than 2000µA.
Non-Contact Voltage Hi - Lo NCV Sensor located in tip DL389B True RMS • “Lo” NCV light indicates voltage <120V. HOLD MAX/MIN “Hi” NCV light indicates the presences of voltage >120V. NOTE: The worklight will turn Hz / Duty SELECT off during NCV tests.
Test Lead Notes CATIV 600V Measurement Locations • Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use the CAT IV shield increases arc-flash risk. CATII 1000V Measurement Locations 18mm 18mm • CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall outlets.
