(C.A 5220 only)
Always switch Off the circuit to be tested before
connecting the multimeter to the circuit
Warning:
connect the leads to the multimeter and connect in
series to the circuit
- the red lead to the + terminal up to 400mA
- the red lead to the 10A terminal, from 400mA to 10A
Place the selector on the A or mA ammeter function
Press the AC/DC button to select AC or DC
Energize the circuit to be tested
Automatic range selection : read the measured value
If necessary, press the following buttons
- RANGE to manually select the ranges
- MIN-MAX to read the min or max values
