The tester has a built in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) digital
voltmeter and amperage meter. The digital voltmeter
accurately measures the battery voltage at the battery, through
tracer wires buried inside the load cables. The digital
amperage meter accurately displays the current being drawn
from the battery under test.
NOTE:
Make reference to Operating Manual, SEHS9249
for more complete information for use of the
4C4911 Battery Load Tester.
8T0900 AC/DC Clamp-On Ammeter
8T900 AC/DC Clamp-On Ammeter
The 8T0900 AC/DC Clamp-On Ammeter is a completely
portable, self-contained instrument that allows electrical current
measurements to be made without breaking the circuit or
disturbing the insulation on conductors. A digital display is
located on the ammeter for reading current directly in a range
from 1 to 1200 amperes. If an optional 6V6014 Cable is
connected between this ammeter and one of the digital
multimeters, current readings of less than 1 ammeter can then
be read directly from the display of the multimeter.
A lever is used to open the jaws over the conductor [up to a
diameter of 19 mm (.75 in)], and the spring loaded jaws are
then closed around the conductor for current measurement. A
trigger switch that can be locked in the ON or OFF position is
used to turn on the ammeter. When the turn-on trigger is
released, the last current reading is held on the display for 5
seconds. This allows accurate measurements to be taken in
limited access areas where the digital display is not visible to
the operator. A zero control is provided for DC operation, and
power for the ammeter is supplied by batteries located inside
the handle.
NOTE:
Make reference to Special Instruction, SEHS8420

8T0900 Clamp-On Ammeter.
6V7070 Heavy-Duty Digital Multimeter
6V7070 Heavy-Duty Digital Multimeter
The 6V7070 Heavy-Duty Digital Multimeter is a completely
portable, hand held instrument with a digital display. This
multimeter is built with extra protection against damage in field
applications, and is equipped with seven functions and 29
ranges. The 6V7070 Multimeter has an instant ohms indicator
that permits continuity checking for fast circuit inspection. It
also can be used for troubleshooting small value capacitors.
The 6V7800 Regular-duty Digital Multimeter (a low cost option
to the Heavy-Duty Multimeter) is also available; however the
6V7800 Multimeter does not have the 10A range or the instant
ohms feature of the 6V7070 Multimeter.
NOTE:
Make reference to Special Instruction, SEHS7734
for more complete information for use of the
6V7070 and 6V7800 Multimeters.
