DC Current Measurements
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 negative
COM
jack.
2. For DC current measurements, set the function switch to the
posi-
tion and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
3. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at
the point where you wish to measure current.
4. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch
the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
5. Apply power to the circuit and read the current in the display.
AC Current Measurements
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 negative
COM
jack.
2. For AC current measurements, set the function switch to
position
and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
3. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at
the point where you wish to measure current.
4. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. And
touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
5. Apply power to the circuit.
6. Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point, value and symbol.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any
circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC.
