How to Use MM-1566 Current Clamp

Using the MM-1566 Current Clamp is straightforward and safe, making it ideal for both professional automotive technicians and skilled DIYers.

1. Power On the Device
   Activate the current clamp using the power button and allow the display to initialise. 
2. Select the Appropriate Mode
   Choose either AC or DC measurement based on the circuit being tested. Also, select current or voltage mode as required. 
3. Clamp Around the Conductor
   Open the clamp jaws and position them around a single conductor (not the entire cable) to measure current. Ensure the jaws close completely for accurate readings. 
4. Read the Display
   The digital interface will show the current or voltage value. The high 10 MΩ impedance ensures accurate readings without influencing the circuit. 
5. Repeat or Record
   For multiple readings, repeat the process on different conductors or voltage points. Use the hold or record function if available, depending on the model’s features. 
6. Turn Off and Store
   After use, power down the unit and store it in a dry, safe location. 

FAQs about MM-1566 Current Clamp

What types of measurements can the MM-1566 Current Clamp perform?

The MM-1566 Current Clamp is capable of measuring both AC and DC current within a range of 600A to 1000A, and voltage from 6V to 600V. Its ability to measure small current in milliamps makes it ideal for detailed automotive diagnostics, including detecting parasitic draws or verifying low-voltage circuits in modern vehicles.

Is the MM-1566 suitable for non-automotive use?

While the MM-1566 Current Clamp is optimised for automotive environments, it can be used in other low-voltage or medium-current applications such as industrial maintenance, electronic repair, and battery testing. However, its form factor and features are particularly tailored for vehicle diagnostics, including tight under-bonnet spaces and low-current circuits.

How accurate is the MM-1566 in automotive diagnostics?

The MM-1566 Current Clamp offers excellent accuracy due to its high input impedance (10 MΩ), which minimises loading on the circuit being tested. This is especially valuable when diagnosing sensitive automotive electronics, including sensors and control modules. Accuracy also benefits from the non-contact clamp design, reducing the chance of introducing external resistance.

Do I need to disconnect wires to use the MM-1566 Current Clamp?

No. One of the primary advantages of the MM-1566 Current Clamp is its clamp-on design. This allows you to take current readings without disconnecting or cutting any wires. Simply clamp around the conductor of interest to receive a live reading. This saves time, increases safety, and makes it easier to measure live circuits.

Is the MM-1566 easy to carry and store?

Yes. The MM-1566 Current Clamp is both compact and lightweight, weighing only 0.27 kg and measuring 230 × 80 × 39 mm. It fits easily into toolboxes, technician pouches, or glove compartments, making it highly portable for mobile service teams, workshop use, or emergency roadside diagnostics.
