Introduction
WARNING
Make sure to read and follow all safety procedures to avoid electric shock and/or injury.
The KPS-PA420 is a safe, reliable, yet small handheld 3 ½ digit digital clamp meter. Capable
of measuring AC current, AC/DC voltage, resistance, diode’s forward voltage drop, and
continuity, it’s ideal for both home users and professionals.
Safety Instructions
The KPS-PA420 meets EN61010-1 safety requirements for electrical testing instruments and
handheld digital multimeters. It’s designed to comply with EN61010-1 with a CAT III 600V
safety rating and pollution degree of 2.
• All safety guidelines outlined should be followed otherwise the protection provided by the
instrument may be impaired.
• Warning symbols in the manual alert users of potential dangerous situations.
• Precautions are to prevent the user from damaging the instrument or the test object.
Precautions
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or damage to the meter, please observe
the following:
1. Before using the meter, check the meter for damage during transport.
2. Check the test leads for damage to the insulation or wires before use.
3. Ensure the meter works properly by testing a known voltage first. If not working properl ,
have the meter serviced before using.
4. Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in the specifications for each range of
measurement.
5. Always use caution when making voltage measurements above 60V DC or 30V AC rms.
6. Make sure to use the correct input jack, function and range when measuring.
7. Do not place the meter in any environment with dust, explosive gas or vapor.
8. Always keep fingers behind the probe barriers
9. Connect the common test lead first, then the hot lead. Disconnect in reverse orde .
10. Turn off power and discharge capacitors before measuring resistance, diodes or continuity.
11. Failure to follow safety guidelines may prevent the meter ’s built in protection from working
properly.
12. To avoid damage or incorrect readings, check for AC voltage present before making DC
voltage measurements.
13. Do not use the meter with the battery cover not securely in place.
14. When the symbol appears, replace the batteries to avoid incorrect readings.
15. Before opening the case, always disconnect test leads from all energized circuits.
16. Only use the test leads provided with the meter. Replace only with similar leads with
matching specifications
17. Do not touch input jacks during measurement to avoid electric shock.
18. Before switching functions, remove test leads from a circuit.
Maintenance
WARNING
Protection impairment if used in a manner not specified by the manufacture .
General maintenance
This section provides basic maintenance principies, including cleaning and battery
replacement. Do not attempt to do any repair or calibration to the meter unless you are
experienced maintenance personnel.
WARNING
Remove test leads from meter before opening the battery cover to avoid damage or injury.
Use a damp cloth anda small amount of detergent to clean the meter regularly. Do not use
abrasives or chemical solvents. Dirty or wet input jacks can affect readings.
To clean the input jacks:
1. Turn off meter and remove test leads
2. Wipe any debris off input jacks
3. Use a cotton swab with a cleaner/lubricant (i.e. WD-40) to clean jacks.
4. Use a new swab for each jack to prevent cross contamination.
Replacing the batteries
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, make sure that the test leads have been clearly move away from the
circuit under measurement before opening the battery cover of the meter.
WARNING
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon- zinc), or
rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.
• If the sign appears, it means that the batteries should be replaced.
• Loosen the fixing screw of the battery cover and remove it
• Replace the exhausted batteries with new ones.
• Put the battery cover back and fix it again to its origin form
Note:
Do not reverse the polarity of the batteries.
Replacing Test Leads
Replace test leads if leads become damaged or worn.
WARNING
Use meet EN 61010-031 standard, rated CAT III 600V, or better test leads.
