The Bosch Professional Fork Meter GFM 1000-15 is designed for electricians, engineers, and maintenance professionals who need to perform quick, accurate, and safe current and voltage testing. Its primary benefit is enabling non-contact current measurement up to 200A AC and voltage detection from 12V to 1000V AC/DC without interrupting the circuit, saving significant time. A potential caveat is its specific focus on AC current measurements, with DC current measurement not being a primary function.

The Bosch GFM 1000-15 Professional Fork Meter is primarily designed for AC current measurements up to 200A. It does not measure DC current.
It can detect AC and DC voltages from 12V up to 1000V.
The basic functions do not require special accessories. However, a magnetic hanger can be used for hands-free working, which is sold separately.
Wipe the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the jaws and NCV sensor are clean for accurate readings. Avoid using solvents.
The GFM 1000-15 has an IP54 rating, meaning it is resistant to dust and water splashes. It is not waterproof and should not be submerged.
It uses two standard AA batteries.
The accuracy for AC current measurement is typically specified in the product's manual. For this model, it's generally suitable for quick checks and diagnostics where high precision is not the primary requirement.
Check that the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace with new AA batteries if necessary.
Ensure the jaws are clean and fully closed around the conductor. Verify that the measurement is for AC current. Check for interference from strong external magnetic fields.
Confirm the voltage is within the 12V-1000V AC/DC range. Check battery levels. Ensure the NCV sensor is clean and close to the voltage source. Test the NCV function on a known live source.
Check battery levels. Ensure the test leads are properly connected to the device and the circuit being tested. Verify the circuit is truly continuous and not high resistance.
This is a normal power-saving feature. Briefly press any button or reopen the jaws to wake the device. If it's a persistent issue, check battery strength as low batteries can affect performance.
Setup: The GFM 1000-15 is ready to use out of the box. Ensure two AA batteries are inserted correctly, observing polarity. The device automatically powers on when jaws are opened or a button is pressed and enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity, indicated by the auto shut-off feature.
Compatibility: This fork meter is designed for general electrical testing and is compatible with standard electrical systems within its specified voltage and current ranges. It can be used with a magnetic hanger (sold separately) for hands-free operation.
Care: Keep the fork meter clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the jaws and NCV sensor area are free from dirt and debris to maintain accurate readings. Store the device in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. The IP54 rating provides protection against dust and water splashes, but it is not waterproof; avoid submersion.
