Indledning
The KYORITSU KEW 2055 and KEW 2056R are high-precision AC/DC Digital Clamp Meters designed for professional use in power distribution, utilities, and maintenance fields. These meters offer a wide range of measurement capabilities, including AC/DC current, AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, and temperature. Featuring a robust double-molded body for comfortable handling and a clear 6039-count display with a bar graph, these instruments are built for reliability and ease of use.
Key features include a Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) function for enhanced safety, Peak Hold for inrush current measurement, Data Hold, and MIN/MAX functions for capturing transient and long-term readings. The meters comply with IEC 61010-1 CAT IV 600V safety standards, ensuring safe operation in various electrical environments.

Opsætning
1. Batteriinstallation
The KEW 2055/2056R requires two R03 (1.5V) AAA batteries. To install or replace batteries:
- Sørg for, at måleren er slukket.
- Find batteridækslet på bagsiden af måleren.
- Brug en skruetrækker til at åbne låget.
- Isæt to AAA-batterier, og overhold den korrekte polaritet (+/-) som angivet inde i batterirummet.
- Sæt batterirummets dæksel på igen og fastgør det med skruen.

2. Tilslutning af testledninger
For bdtage, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, and temperature measurements, connect the supplied test leads (Model 7066A) to the appropriate input terminals on the meter. The red lead connects to the V/Ω terminal, and the black lead connects to the COM terminal.
3. Sikkerhedsadvarsler
Always read the "Safety Warnings" in the instruction manual supplied with the instrument thoroughly and completely for correct use. Failure to follow the safety rules can cause fire, electric shock, or other hazards. Ensure the instrument is operated on a correct power supply and within the voltage rating marked on the instrument.

- Baggrundsbelysning: Press the backlight button (usually shared with H HOLD, long press) to illuminate the display for use in dimly lit environments.
Opretholdelse
1. Rensning
Wipe the meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the meter is dry before use or storage.
2. Udskiftning af batteri
Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate readings and proper operation. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for detailed steps.
3. Opbevaring
If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the meter in its carrying case (Model 9094) in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Fejlfinding
- Intet display/svagt display: Kontrollér batteriniveauet, og udskift det om nødvendigt. Sørg for, at batterierne er isat med den korrekte polaritet.
- Forkerte aflæsninger: Verify the correct function and range are selected. Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. For current measurements, ensure only a single conductor is within the clamp kæber.
- NCV Not Functioning: Ensure the meter is turned on and within range of an AC electric field. Note that NCV detects fields from the line-side jaw and may not detect through walls.
- Meter Does Not Turn On: Kontrollér batterierne. Kontakt kundesupport, hvis problemet fortsætter.

Brugertips
- Monitoring Load Demand: Utilize the MIN/MAX function to effectively monitor the minimum and maximum current demand on an electrical installation over an extended period (e.g., 2-3 days). This provides valuable data for understanding load profiles without requiring constant supervision.
- Safety First with NCV: Always use the Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) function as a preliminary safety check to detect the presence of AC voltage before making direct contact with conductors. Remember that NCV detects electric fields from the line-side jaw and may not detect through walls.
- True RMS Accuracy: For accurate measurements on non-sinusoidal waveforms, ensure you are using the True RMS models (like the KEW 2056R) as indicated on the device.
