Tip Always activate the warning and stop
limit functions when using external cur-
rent measurement. This will protect your
batteries if the DC clamp-on ammeter
were to malfunction.
Connections
Warning
Make sure the polarity is correct.
Connect the clamp-on ammeter to the EXTERNAL
CURRENT MEASUREMENT input. Best results are
obtained if the cables running from the clamp-on
ammeter are twisted.
Apply the clamp-on ammeter to the conductor.
See the figures in the section headed “Applica-
tions”.
Note: The arrow on the clamp-on ammeter must
point in the same direction as the current flow.
Note: The clamp-on ammeter must always be ap-
plied in such a way that current through TORKEL is
included in the measurement.
Turn on the power switch on the clamp-on am-
meter.

Troubleshooting
If the following message appears when you start the
test:
Error:
External I
Check that the clamp-on ammeter is properly
connected to TORKEL. Also check the polarity.
Check that the clamp-on ammeter is switched
on.
Check that the clamp-on ammeter has fresh bat-
teries.
Make sure that the clamp-on ammeter is
clamped in the correct direction. A DC clamp-on
ammeter normally has an arrow which should
point in the direction which current flows through
the conductor.
Check the folowing settings in “Basic setting”
submenu:
• “I measurement” must be set to “External”.
• The mV/A ratio must match the ratio that ap-
pears on the clamp-on ammeter itself.
