FAQ
How do I choose the right model? What are the key differences?
You can choose based on whether you want smart auto-detection and on your current range needs:
Prefer smart Auto Detect: KC602s / KC602 automatically detect measurement type and range. KC602s also adds AI-Powered assistance for faster, easier testing.
Prefer manual-only operation: KC604 / HT206D / HT208D / HT208F are Manual Only.
Need higher current up to 1000A: HT208D / HT208F support 1000A ranges, ideal for industrial or heavy-duty work.
What is True-RMS and why does it matter?
True-RMS provides accurate readings on non-sinusoidal AC signals, like those from inverters, variable-frequency drives, and switching power supplies. It’s essential for reliable troubleshooting in modern electrical systems.
What’s the difference between 6000 Counts and 4000 Counts?
Counts indicate display resolution. 6000-count meters show finer changes and provide more detailed readings. 4000-count meters are still great for general household and basic maintenance tasks.
Can these clamp meters measure DC current?
Yes. All listed models support DC current measurement, which is useful for automotive, battery systems, solar panels, and DC troubleshooting.
Is NCV reliable? Can it replace a voltage test?
NCV is great for quick detection of live AC wires, but it’s not a substitute for precise voltage measurement. For exact values or safety confirmation, use test leads.
When should I use Manual mode instead of Auto Detect?
Auto Detect works best for normal circuits. In noisy environments, borderline signals, or specialized tests, Manual mode helps lock the function/range for more stable readings.
What safety tips should I follow while measuring?
Keep the conductor centered in the clamp jaw.
For high-voltage tests, hold probes by the insulated area only.
Never exceed rated voltage/current limits.
Replace damaged probes immediately.
