1. Ifihan
The Extech EX820A is a professional 1000A True RMS AC Clamp Meter equipped with a built-in non-contact infrared thermometer. This device is designed for accurate electrical measurements and temperature monitoring in various applications, including electrical installations, motors, and other electrical devices. It features a large 6000 count backlit LCD display for clear readings and an ergonomically designed double-molded housing for comfortable, one-handed operation. The 43 mm (1.7 inch) jaw opening accommodates conductors up to 750 MCM or two 500 MCM cables. This meter is rated CAT IV-600 V for enhanced safety.
Alaye Abo: Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not attempt to measure voltages or currents exceeding the meter's specified limits. Ensure the meter is in good working condition before use. Refer to the safety section in the full manual for detailed precautions.

4.5 Àlẹmọ Pass Kekere (LPF)
The LPF function is designed for accurate measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other electrically noisy equipment. It filters out high-frequency noise that can distort True RMS readings.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' or 'V~' position.
- Press the 'LPF' button to activate the Low Pass Filter. The LPF icon will appear on the display.
- Proceed with your current or voltage wiwọn.
4.6 Ìwọ̀n Ìsanwó Inrush
The Inrush function captures the maximum current surge when a motor or other inductive load starts up. This is useful for diagnosing motor starting issues.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' position.
- Press the 'INRUSH' button. The meter will be ready to capture the inrush current.
- Waye awọn clamp to the motor's power lead and start the motor. The meter will display the peak inrush current.
