  Opening Lever
Operating lever for opening the sensor head. Always use this lever 
to open the sensor head.
 Sensor Head
This clamps the conductor being measured, and carries out the 
actual current measurement. It is a precision assembly including a 
molded component, a ferrite core, and a Hall effect element. It 
may be damaged if subjected to sudden changes in ambient 
temperature, or mechanical strain or shock. Care should be 
exercised when handing the sensor head.
 Demagnetizing Switch (DEMAG)
This demagnetizes the core if it has been magnetized by switching 
the power on and off, or by an excessive input. Always carry out 
demagnetizing before measurement. The demagnetizing process 
takes about one second. During demagnetizing, a demagnetizing 
waveform is output. Refer to “Demagnetization and Zero 
Adjustment” on page  16.
