True RMS Digital Multimeter
6.3. DC Current Measurement
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than
30 seconds.Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the
test leads.
1.Insert the black test lead banana plug into the COM Input Jack.
2.For current measurement up to 200mA DC, set the function switch to the
highest DC mA Position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the
Positive Input Jack.
3.For current measurement up to 10ADC, set the function switch to the 10A
range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A Input Jack.
4.Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point
where you wish to measure current.
5.Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit; Touch the red
test probe tip tothe positive side of the circuit.
6.Apply power to the circuit.
7.Read the current in the display.
8.For mA DC measurements, reset the function switch to successively lower mA
DC position to obtain a higher resolution reading, the display will indicate the
proper decimal point and value.
