======================================
MAXIMAL:   ( DC / AC )  1500 W   =   ( 300 V * 5 A ) ... ( 30 V * 50 A )

CALIBRATION FACTORS:     » 25 A «   =  x5    /    x10  =   » 50 A «

VOLTAGE-INPUT on the BLACK CLAMPS ;  the  CURRENT-INPUT on BRASS CLAMPS.
The SWITCH on front  changes the POLARITY  for the instrument ;  and the
SCREW above is for  ZERO-ADJUST  of the instrument.  The BRIDGES have to
be set either to  » 25 A « (shown)  or to  » 50 A «.
