DC Current Measurements
CAUTION: Do not make 10 A current measurements for longer
than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to
the meter and/or the test.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM jack.
2. For current measurements up to 4000
µ
A DC, set the rotary
function switch to the yellow
µ
A position and insert the red
test lead banana plug into the
µ
A/mA jack.
3. For current measurements up to 400 mA DC, set the rotary
function switch to the yellow mA position and insert the red
test lead banana plug into the
µ
A/mA jack.
4. For current measurements up to 10 A DC, set the rotary
function switch to the yellow 10A/Hz/% position and insert
the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
5. Press MODE button to indicate “DC” on the display.
6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the
circuit at the point where you wish to measure current.
7. 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.
